Re: [time-nuts] lady heather on headless linux box

Works fine.

I'm running RHEL6 and had to add -rlt to the linker line in the makefile
(and no additional changes), as well as do a yum install libX11-devel (and
install the dependencies yum wanted me to install).

Douglas Bercich is exactly right, you need the X11 dev libraries installed
even if you're headless without X11.

Re: [time-nuts] lady heather on headless linux box

Disclaimer: my only experience with LH is on a Windows box, but I have a lot of 
experience pushing bits around on Unix platforms. So, here goes the 5000’ 
overview...

On the LH box:
It can be headless, but needs all the X11 dependencies that make LH work; 
supporting libraries, etc. it does NOT need an actual X server or GUI 
installed. 

On the remote box:
You need an X Server installed and obviously graphical capability. Then the 
procedure - generally - is to ssh into the LH box with X11 forwarding enabled. 
Then you execute LH and it’s display shows up on the remote box. There are 
security details with this; you’ll probably need to type a command to allow the 
LH box to connect to your X server. 

There are other ways of making the connection using xdm and such as well. It 
really depends on what exactly you’re dealing with.

[time-nuts] lady heather on headless linux box

[jimlux]

Looking over the readme, it looks like LH uses X11.
Does that mean that if I build it, and run an Xserver on a box, I can 
run LH on another (headless) box via ssh?


I'm not sure I want to start down this path, so just curious if that's 
how it works.
