just enough X11 to be dangerous

Posted by Dick on May 24, 2007

/j2ee/bin/asupgrade kept insisting
DISPLAY wasn’t set.
I hanen’t installed X on this box so that’s hardly suprising.

To get X11 forwarding working, I had to add a few packages:

vera # pkginfo -d . SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwice SUNWxwrtl SUNWxwplr SUNWxwplt
system      SUNWxwfsw X Window System platform required font software
system      SUNWxwice X Window System Inter-Client Exchange (ICE) Components
system      SUNWxwplr X Window System platform software configuration
system      SUNWxwplt X Window System platform software
system      SUNWxwrtl X Window System & Graphics Runtime Library Links in /usr/lib
vera # yes | pkgadd -d . SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwice SUNWxwrtl SUNWxwplr SUNWxwplt

After all that, it turns out

  1. asupgrade doesn’t do what I thought it did
  2. I could’ve just used /j2ee/bin/asupgrade—console

Ho hum :)
