RE: (EXT) X-Windows Over VPN Issues

Scott,

We got around that by installing a vncserver on our Linux hosts. Start it when an X session is needed for dbua / dbca etc. Stop it otherwise.

Then connect using VNC-Viewer. Works like a charm!

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,
