Yum install xorg redhat

When you subscribe the system you should be able to subscribe it to the optional channel as you can get to it through browsing the portal , this will make the packages accessible via yum. The real issue here is that Red Hat have moved packages into the 'optional' child channel which I think is unnecessary and wonder why they bother.

It works out of the box on CentOS because they don't separate the packages out. When I go to the "Systems" or "Virtual Systems" list everything still is blank for me even though my system was and is subscribed and registered.

None of the various links or instructions I followed to attempt to add my already subscribed and registered system to this System or Virtual System list worked. The solution for me was to click on the "Software Channel Entitlements" option under "General" "Entitlements" on the left side of the Classic Subscription Management tab, then scroll through the list of 94 different optional "software channel entitlements", find the one recommended, listed on the second page: "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional v.

Tried both of those, neither work. Search returns no matching packages, and "yum install xorg-xserver-Xvfb" tells me "No package xorg-xserver-Xvfb available".

Wonder if they axed it in 6. It's a standard RHEL package. Maybe run "yum clean" to clear out local data? This might be something you get to bug RH about. On CentOS6. It's also mentioned on this official RH doc: rhn.

This sounds more like an issue with Torgis's yum configuration. Could very well be. I tried yum clean all, yum search all xvfb and get nothing. I just looked at my redhat repo and it's blank. That's likely not good. Show 7 more comments. Falcon Momot Aamreeta Aamreeta 71 1 1 silver badge 1 1 bronze badge. I used sudo yum install --enablerepo rhelserver-optional-rpms xorg-xserver-Xvfb.

Just a different way to achieve what Aamreeta suggests here without editing the yum.
