I need to install Xvfb on Redhat 8, however the usual way doesn't work:
yum -y install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
No match for argument: xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
Error: Unable to find a match: xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
From here How to install Xvfb (X virtual framebuffer) on Redhat 6.5? I tried the suggestion:
wget http://vault.centos.org/6.2/os/x86_64/Packages/xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
But that gives:
Error: Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libXdmcp.so.6()(64bit) needed by xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
- nothing provides libXfont.so.1()(64bit) needed by xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
- nothing provides libcrypto.so.10()(64bit) needed by xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
- nothing provides xorg-x11-server-common >= 1.10.4-6.el6 needed by xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
Is there any way to install Xvfb on RH8?
The only way to do this (without an RHEL subscription) is to do the following installs which work only when in this order:
yum install -y libXScrnSaver \
mesa-libgbm nss at-spi2-atk libX11-xcb \
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rhel-8-beta/appstream/x86_64/Packages/libxkbfile-1.0.9-9.el8.x86_64.rpm \
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rhel-8-beta/appstream/x86_64/Packages/xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.7-26.el8.x86_64.rpm \

I don't know why it's so difficult.
