I'm setting up an OpenSuse web server and need to run CutyCapt and XVFB, but can't find either in any of the repositories. I'm running OpenSuse 11.4 x64 with no desktop GUI.

Any advice on where to start?

In SLES11 Xvfb is provided by xorg-x11-server-extra.

Close. Installed server-extra and Xvfb is now installed but not Xvbf-run. – Brad Robinson Apr 16 '11 at 7:23

On OpenSUSE 11.4:

pdo@opensuse:~> rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/Xvfb
xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.9.3-15.18.4.x86_64

So just install xorg-x11-server (and its myriad dependencies):

pdo@opensuse:~> sudo zypper install -y xorg-x11-server

pdo@opensuse:~> /usr/bin/Xvfb

You don't have to install a desktop environment or anything, and you machine still boots to a text mode login prompt.

hrm, running the --whatprovides command for me just yields "/usr/bin/Xvfb" not found. Is there a way to find the package required for something you don't have installed? – Brad Robinson Apr 16 '11 at 7:21
