Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY
4joey1Nov 20 2010 — edited Nov 22 2010Hallo!I am trying to install Oracle 10g on openSUSE 11.3.While configuring display parameters I underwent the following steps
but the error below results
joey-suse:~ # xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
joey-suse:~ # su - oracle
oracle@joey-suse:~> cd /u01/app/oracle/
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> export DISPLAY=:0
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> ./runInstaller

Even the following results in the same error
joey-suse:~ # xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
joey-suse:~ # su - oracle
oracle@joey-suse:~> cd /u01/app/oracle/
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> export DISPLAY=192.168.0.144:0
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> ./runInstaller
OR
joey-suse:~ # xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
joey-suse:~ # su - oracle
oracle@joey-suse:~> cd /u01/app/oracle/
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> export DISPLAY=192.168.0.144:0.0
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> xhost +
xhost: unable to open display "192.168.0.144:0.0"
oracle@joey-suse:/u01/app/oracle> ./runInstaller
How do I resolve this?
