Regarding VNC

[Rahim Makhani]

We have to install Oracle Application 11i in HP-UX 11.11, for that we need to have VNC...

From where I can download it + can someone tell me in detail about how to install it

We had downloaded VNC from realvnc.com, but when we are trying to install it, we are getting the error that No depot software is available at location \var\spool\sw

Please Help!

I am trying to understand your remark about Oracle and VNC. Whay VNC is required, when you are isntalling oracle?

From realvnc, did you download correct depot?
What is the exact error you are getting when installing? Also give us the exact command that you used when tried to install it.

Hi ,

make sure you use the full depot path in your swinstall or swlist command.
Example:
swinstall -s /var/tmp/mydepot \*

Since we are accessing HP-UX from telnet, since we don't have any graphical component to access HP-UX, and since there is a requirement of having a some graphical component to install oracle application, we need VNC? If I am wrong, then please correct me...

We have the latest version of VNC Server that we have got from realvnc.com by the name
vnc-4_1_1-parisc_hpux.depot

Now please tell me how to install it in HP-UX and how to view it from Windows

[Rahim Makhani]

Please Reply me ASAP... We need to get it done soon

Thanx

what command do you use for installing?

Hi

You really dont need VNC to install oracle.

just enable X on the HP server and then on a windows client install X/Deep32 and you can do th einstallation graphically.

Cheers

Can you please elaborate how to enable X on an HP Server, and from where to install X/Deep32, and how to configure it??

Thanx

If this is Oracle related then you most likely would be better using xvfb as opposed to X which most likely will require a physical graphics card.

I suggest you enable xvfb on system startup and point Oracle to this virtual dispaly

ie export DISPLAY=server:5.0 or server:10.0

if you wish to have some handy startup scripts for xvfb drop me an email : see my forums profile

hi

you can download x/deep32 from http://www.pexus.com/Download/download.html

The iste shows how to configure it as well...

Cheers

Rahim,
assuming that your HP server has X11 application installed, what you actually need is a X/Windows client on a PC.
Check X11 installation:
# swlist -l product | grep X11
X11 B.11.11 HP-UX X Window Software

if OK, download some X11 client (X-Deep/32 freeware suggested above, or comercial like Exceed Metaframe) to your Windows(??) client workplace.

Then, from your telnet session,
- export DISPLAY=:0
- run your oracle installer

[Rahim Makhani]

Thanx, I have installed x/deep 32... When i connect to it with root, it works fine

After that I have created a user 'oracle', now when I connect to x/deep 32 from this oracle, it gives me the error Fatal Error: Could not create root tile

Please Reply ASAP
Thanx
Rahim...

What exactly you want? Did you install VNC? If not, what is the problem. Error messages will help. Do post error messages.

Can you do swlist -d @ /some_dir/vnc_depot?
If yes, what does following say?

swinstall -s /some_dir/vnc_depot
Any errors? with swinstall command?

Hi

Give permission to oracle on X dir's.

If you just need X for oracle install you can actually look at making oracle as superuser (uid = 0 ) and then install oracle and once that is done chnage oracle to a normal user id.
