Xwindow: Unable to open display

Xwindow: Unable to open display

Post by jishn » Sat, 09 Jun 2001 11:07:05



Hi all
I am running a Solaris 8 on Sun Ultra 10.
Every thng below was done from oracle account necessary for installing ORACLE

I am trying to install Oracle on the system and some preinstallation steps are

(for csh)   setenv DISPLAY WORKSTATION_NAME:0.0
i replaced WORKSTATION_NAME with my host name   ie turing.

Second step is to do xhost +turing, but this gives me an error like
turing% xhost +turing
Xlib: connection to "turing:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost:  unable to open display "turing:0.0"

When i start the installation it gives me same error documented below

turing% ./runInstaller
turing% Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Plea
se wait...
Xlib: connection to "turing:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'turing:0.0' a
s the value of the DISPLAY variable.

        at oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller.main(Compiled Code)
^C
turing% cd

The account is oracle needed for installation and i am on the console.
Could any one help me out with this

thanks in advance

Should already be set to something sensible if you're
launching the install from Openwin or CDE (or whatever).
Check the value (if any) of DISPLAY before doing this.

Please tell me you *are* somewhere in X-land, not on a
text console!

This usually occurs when you're trying to run xhost with a
user id other than the one you logged in as.

So if you logged in as (guessing) jishnuk and su'ed to
oracle for the installation, you'll need to run xhost from
a shell belonging to jishnuk.

Also, try running the command in a console, not a terminal
(don't know why it makes a difference, but it does for us)

I meant the xhost command.
 
 
 

1. Opened a remote Xwindows but unable to type anything

Hi,

I am trying to remotely control an application via remote xwindows from an
AIX machine to a Linux 6.2 box.
I was able to get the xwindows to display the application, but I cannot type
anything on the remote application.  Only the Backspace key work.

Does anybody know what I need to do in order to type on the remote
application.

Your help would greatly appreciated!!

Regards,
Wai-Man
