Installing the RGS Sender on Linux
NOTE: The Linux version of the RGS Sender can only be installed on the computers and Linux operating
systems shown in
Supported hardware and software on page 95. Installing the RGS Sender on a non-
supported computer will prevent an RGS connection from being established.
The RGS Sender requires a license key to establish an RGS connection (except on HP desktop Z series
workstations, HP EliteBook mobile workstations, and HP ZBook mobile workstations). For information on
RGS Sender licensing on Linux, see the HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide, available at
http://www.hp.com/support/rgs.
To install the RGS Sender on Linux:
1. Log in as root.
2. Install the accelerated NVIDIA graphics driver. This is required prior to installing the RGS Sender. The
NVIDIA driver installation creates the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which is used by the RGS Sender
installation.
NOTE: For some features, it is recommended to have an NVIDIA Quadro 2000 or better graphics card
with driver version 305.29 or greater.
The minimum NVIDIA driver version for RHEL6 is 256.53. The latest NVIDIA driver for your product is
available at
http://www.hp.com/support.
Install the driver using the Linux rpm command.
TIP: Installing the driver while the system is at run level 3 allows the installation to complete without
restarting. Installing while at run level 5 will require restarting.
3. Go to the directory where you downloaded RGS, and change to the directory lin64/sender.
4. Execute the following command:
./install.sh
This command will give you a choice of performing a manual installation or a partially automated
installation (automating steps 5 and 6). The RGS Sender will be installed to /opt/hpremote/
rgsender.
5. This last step of the installation is optional and will ask if you would like to automatically customize the
following files to enable proper function of the RGS Sender:
●
/etc/X11/xorg.conf—The configuration file for the X Server will be modified to load the rge
extension.
●
/etc/pam.d/rgsender—This configuration file will be modified to allow the RGS Sender to
interact with the currently supported PAM authentication.
●
/etc/pam.d/gdm*, /etc/pam.d/kdm*, /etc/pam.d/xdm*—These configuration files
will be modified to ensure proper PAM authentication window manager support for the RGS Sender
process. If a different window manager is in use, that file must be manually configured.
NOTE: The file rgsender_config_64-*.rpm that performs these automated customizations can
also be run independently of the installation script.
IMPORTANT: This automated step must be performed after any actions that install their own X Server
configuration files because these files are modified to load the rge module required for proper RGS
Sender functionality. If these files are replaced or modified later, then the modifications must be
performed manually as described below.
