If there is no graphical console for an X server, You can considder moving Xvnc in as the X11 server in the X11 configuration. Unfortunatly, on HP-UX, sam tests the availability of a graphics console to activate the X11 server so I have to do it all by hand. If you have a HP-UX workstation around (or any HP-UX box with graphical console to configure X11) then move the entire configuration to the server and replace the call to the X11 server with Xvnc. That should give you a running X11 server at localhost:0.0. > It was installed by oracle to run as the oracle db system > admin account, applmgr, and to get it to run in > my startup script, I 'su' to this account and issue the > startup command.

If it's for tools created by Oracle Developer, you might need to twiggle with the colordepth.

The Xvnc as started by inetd should be started by sys (or any other system user). The vncserver that relies on 'user' settings in a ~/.vnc/* directory (like using vncserver or such) should be a normal user. (sys and other system users, don't have proper home directories). > This could be ok unless oracle complains about it not running > as applmgr, but I would be surprised. There should be no complain from oracle, The default Xserver on a console also runs as a system user. > > Anyone else out there been persuaded by oracle to run Xvnc? > You can have any X server, even pc-based ones. Xvnc is the one that suits the need at reasonable (no) costs.
