X11 Emulation Needs to be Configured

Symptom:

Do I need to configure the X11 emulation to be able to use the GUI of the Packager?

Solution:

X11 is a windowing system designed for client/server architecture. The X11 server is the system where your application starts. The X11 client presents this graphical application. The client and server can run on the same system, for example, on a local console.

• On the X11 server side, access for the X11 client must be configured, as follows:

  Register your local system with X11:

  "xhost +client_name"
  

• On the client side, X11 client software must be installed and activated, as follows:

  Set the $DISPLAY variable to the X11 client's node name:

  DISPLAY=client_name:0; export DISPLAY
