RE: X-Windows Over VPN Issues

I am assuming the database server is Linux. If so, what ssh command do you use from secureCRT to log into the database server? I had similar problems with Cygwin in the past that were resolved (at least partly) by using: ssh -Y oracle_at_hostname

Note that in Cygwin the DISPLAY variable was automatically set to localhost:10.0

With everyone working from home, a new issue has arisen. We can't get x-windows to work over VPN. That makes it difficult to run things like dbua.

Our environment:
Windows 10 laptop - at home connected via Cisco VPN to work Xming running on laptop
SecureCRT running on laptop, under Options -> session options, X11 Forwarding turned on

Linux 7 server
Oracle 12, 18, and 19

I've tried setting the DISPLAY to the IP address on my laptop (from ipconfig) and to 127.0.0.1:0.0.

When I try to run dbua, it sits for a while then returns the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11.XToolkit

I'm sure someone has been able to get this to work. If anyone can let me know what needs to be done, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you,
