I'm running a piece of network backup software called 'bacula', on a
minimal CentOS 6.4 install.
I got everything working pretty well, but there's one piece giving me
some problem-- a component which gives status info via a GUI.
In the past, on previous installations, I could ssh to the bacula server
with the -X option, and run the application (called 'bat'), and it would display back. I'd have to make sure the sshd_config permits Xforwarding, but that was all.
On my new CentOS 6.4 minimal, I always get:
bat: cannot connect to X server
I tried the usual tricks of exporting the display to my system where I
want to see the GUI, which shouldn't be necessary anyway due to the 'ssh -X', but I thought I'd give it a shot. Still no go.
I figured something was missing, since it is a minimal install, with no
X. So I installed 'xlogo', thinking maybe all the X stuff needed to display that would be installed. By installing xlogo, I got a bunch of X stuff, including:
xorg-x11-apps-7.6-6.el6.x86_64
<snip> I'd start out with yum groupinstall "X Window System"
