How to install Xvfb (X virtual framebuffer) on Redhat 6.5?

installation, linux, redhat

Solution

The `xorg-x11-server-Xvfb` package is officially available from RedHat for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7 under the Optional channel (RHEL Workstation Optional, or RHEL Server Optional).

From the comments: To enable the optional repo: `subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms` and then you can install the package with `yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb`

Problem

I have tried to install the Xvfb on red-hat 6.5 using ``` yum -y install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb ``` but it is not installed and it is giving msg that ``` No package xorg-x11-server-Xvfb available. Error: Nothing to do ``` Plese help me to install Xvfb on Redhat 6.5 to remove the headless exception in the Applet. Thanks.
