I allready did try with xhost + with root but does not work, i thanks someone help

RES

Maybe you could try:

# su - oracle
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
$ xhost +
$./runInstaller

I know you said you tried it as root, but I'm not sure if you've tried it as your oracle user. Hopefully that will make a difference for you.

Using “127.0.0.1:0.0” (or anything with an IP address) may be interpreted as an attempt to access X via the IP stack in TCP protocol. You X server is probably running with the “-nolisten tcp” option. Try using “:0.0” as the DISPLAY value instead, which should use Unix sockets instead.

login to the oracle usr with GUI and the install oracle with GUI

because Oracle 10 G support installation through GUI.

I tried but dose not work

[root@localhost ~]# xclock
[root@localhost ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@localhost ~]$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
[oracle@localhost ~]$ xhost +
xhost: unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0"
[oracle@localhost ~]$

Please Explain

Please Explain

I think the “xhost +” command should be run beforehand as the user running the X server.

Ok, finylly i did this

su - oracle
export DISPLAY=0.0
sh runinstaller

and it works, thank u, for all the tips
