Installing & Using XQuartz Arnon Erba Agricultural & Resource Economics Updated August 27, 2019 Contents 1 Installation 2 2 Usage 2 1 Abstract XQuartz is an Apple-supported open-source X server designed to allow apps requiring the X Window System to run on macOS. When paired with the built-in Terminal app, XQuartz allows macOS users to run graphical (GUI) applications on remote servers over SSH. XQuartz replaces the old X11.app application that was removed from macOS in version 10.8. 1 Installation 1. Download the XQuartz installer from www.xquartz.org. At the time of this writing, the latest version was XQuartz-2.7.11.dmg. 2. Open the downloaded .dmg ﬁle. 3. Double-click on XQuartz.pkg to launch the installer. Figure 1: XQuartz.pkg ready to be launched. 4. Follow the prompts to install XQuartz. 5. Log out and back in or reboot to ensure XQuartz is set as your default X server. 2 Usage 1. Launch the built-in Terminal app. Terminal can be found in /Applications/Utilities. 2. In Terminal, enter the following command: ssh -YC username@server. Replace username with your username and server with the full hostname (e.g. deloach.ucdavis.edu) of the server you are trying to reach. 2 3. Note: If presented with a warning that \The authenticity of [the] host can't be established", type yes at the prompt and press Enter to cache the server's host key. 4. Type your password and press Enter. Your keystrokes will not be displayed. Figure 2: A successful SSH session in Terminal. 5. Once connected to the server via SSH, you may launch a GUI application. XQuartz should open automatically and appear in the dock. 3.

Connecting to Cat5 Via X2go from Macos Before Connecting to Cat5 the First Time, Please Follow the “First Time Only” Steps Below
Brought to you by DES Computing Services Questions? [email protected] Connecting to Cat5 via X2Go from macOS Before connecting to Cat5 the first time, please follow the “First Time Only” steps below. Connecting to Cat5 1. From the Applications menu in Finder, run the “x2goclient” application. 2. Click on the white box on the right that says “cat5.” 3. Enter your Cat5 password as prompted and click OK. 4. The first time you connect, it will ask if you trust the host key. To verify the secure connection, check that the provided “hash” exactly matches one of these lines: • 5e:c1:1a:7a:3d:07:72:64:d3:fc:fe:0a:cc:c5:0f:c8:d1:92:aa:0a • 55:87:cd:ef:80:dc:9d:e8:1d:14:87:27:40:00:01:4a If it matches one of those, then click “Yes” to connect. If it doesn't match either of them, then please check Cat5 Host Key Fingerprints on the DES website for more possible hash values. Do not accept an unverified host key! Disconnecting from Cat5 1. To properly close your session, click on the “System” menu (within the Cat5 desktop) and then click “Log out <name>...” 2. If you just close the window, it will pause your session. You should be able to reconnect later to resume where you left off, but sometimes this might not work. To be safe, follow step 1. First Time Only Steps Install XQuartz You must have the “XQuartz” X-Window system installed before you install X2Go. You may have already installed it for another class.

Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

Xfree86® on Darwin and Mac OS X Torrey T
XFree86® on Darwin and Mac OS X Torrey T. Lyons 15 December 2003 1. Introduction XFree86, a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System, has been ported to Darwin and Mac OS X. This document is a collection of information for anyone running XFree86 on Apple’s next generation operating system. Most of the current work on XFree86 for Darwin and Mac OS Xiscentered around the XonX project at SourceForge. If you areinterested in up-to-date status, want to report a bug, or are interested in working on XFree86 for Darwin, stop by the XonX project. 2. Hardware Supportand Conﬁguration The X window server for Darwin and Mac OS Xprovided by the XFree86 Project, Inc. is called XDarwin. XDarwin can run in three different modes. On Mac OS X, XDarwin runs in parallel with Aqua in full screen or rootless modes. These modes arecalled Quartz modes, named after the Quartz 2D compositing engine used by Aqua. XDarwin can also be run from the Darwin con- sole in IOKit mode. In full screen Quartz mode, when the X Window System is active, it takes over the entirescreen. Youcan switch back to the Mac OS Xdesktop by holding down Command-Option-A. This key combination can be changed in the user preferences. From the Mac OS Xdesktop, click on the XDarwin icon in the Dock to switch back to the X window system. (You can change this behavior in the user preferences so that you must click the XDarwin icon in the ﬂoating switch window instead.) In rootless mode, the X window system and Aqua shareyour display.

An Installation Guide for Cgx on Max OS X Mavericks
CalculiX • cgx • INSTALLATION GUIDE CalculiX Graphical Pre- and Postprocessor cgx 2.8 on Mac OS X Mavericks 1B. Graf Abstract. CalculiX comprises the graphical pre- and postprocessor cgx (CalculiX GraphiX) and the solver ccx (CalculiX CrunchiX). A step by step installation guide for cgx 2.8 on Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks is provided. Installation from source is considered. The present guide is based on the general installation instructions for Unix/Linux which come with the cgx package. Besides the installation of cgx the in- struction also covers the installation of required Mac-specific and optional additional software, whereas the latter is required for additional functionality of cgx. Except of html-help files and the installation path the installation of cgx is independent from the installation of ccx. Among others, the installation has been tested for the func- tionality of the additional software. Acknowledgement. Special thanks to K. Wittig (developer of cgx, MTU Aero Engines Munich, Germany) and M. Woopen (installation of Netgen with GUI, AICES, RWTH Aachen, Germany) for their support. 1Prepared by B. Graf, based on the general installation instructions for Unix/Linux by K. Wittig (developer of cgx, MTU Aeoro Engines, Munich, Germany). Dr. B.
