Oracle Database Discussions

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the Oracle Client 10g Release 2 on Ubuntu Server 9.10 from the serverconsole

I've followed all steps in the manual but I get a display error when running the installer:

"DISPLAY not set. Please set the display and try again"

I searched the forums for a solution to this error and I found (and tried) the following:

1) log into console as root
2) DISPLAY=:0.0
3) export DISPLAY
4) xhost +
5) su - oracle
6) DISPLAY=:0.0
7) export DISPLAY
8) /user/openwin/bin/xclock <launched xclock this way to ensure it was working, and it was>
9) changed back to the directory where the runInstaller was and launched.

But after step 4 I get an error:

XHOST: Unable to open display ":0.0"

I do not have a clue on how to solve this. Can someone help me with this?
