Hi
iam connected remotly to linux server using xshell (ssh)
and i am trying to confegure the OCFS2 using ocfs2console application which supposed to be GUI application , i got the following error
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t
[root@rac1 ~]# ocfs2console
ERROR: ocfs2console needs an X11 display.
Make sure a proper setup for your display environment exists.

[root@rac1 ~]# 


the quistion is "is Xshell able to show GUI linux applications ?"
if yes how to acheeve this goal ?, if no what program other than xshell can be use for this purpose?
thanks

1) This is not really an Oracle issue.
2) if xclock works, then Oracle's GUI will work.

I do know X11 forwarding must be used.
I never got X-windows to work when using sudo, su, or any virtualization.

Good Luck!
