I'm using Putty on Windows 2000 to ssh to the remote machine. I have ReflectionX installed to act as my X server. If I don't have it running, up2date doesn't work, however if I have ReflectionX running in the background, up2date (and up2date-nox) works. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jurvis LaSalle Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:43 PM To: golharam@xxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: up2date On Jun 21, 2004, at 9:07 PM, Ryan Golhar wrote: > But, isn't that the point of up2date --nox, to not require X? > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jurvis LaSalle > Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 6:21 PM > To: golharam@xxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: Re: up2date > > > > On Jun 21, 2004, at 5:56 PM, Ryan Golhar wrote: > >> Here's an interesting note: If I don't have a X-Windows Server >> running locally (ReflectionX, etc), then up2date doesn't work even >> though I want to use it in command-line mode... >> >> Shouldn't it just function as expected without trying to establish an >> X connection? >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx >> [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ryan Golhar >> Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 5:46 PM >> To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' >> Subject: up2date >> >> >> Recently, I've been trying to run up2date remotely via a shell. >> Whenever I run up2date with or without and parameters, it just drops >> me back to the shell.

What exactly have tried? Just in case it matters, I've got up2date-4.2.16-1 on taroonU2. hth, Jurvis LaSalle -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
