Unable to install Xvfb on Suse Linux


I am trying to run the selenium-webdriver using the python library on Suse 11.4 (64-bit) For it to run headlessly, it requires another python package "pyvirtualdisplay" to run. I have been able to install both perfectly. The problem now is that pyvirtualdisplay requires a system level package called Xvfb which is not installed. Zypper is unavailable and i need to install this using a tarball or an rpm. Please guide me as to how i can install this library and where i can find it. I have been unable to find a suitable Xvfb package that I can install on this distribution of Linux.


Solution

  • According to this post Xvfb is provided by the xorg-x11-server package. Since you dont have access to zypper you can download that package directly from here (direct link to 64 bit RPM for Suse 11.4) and install it manually.
