When I install Oracle 8.1.6 which does not accept charcter mode anymore I get the error DISPLAY variable not set. I have set this appropriately i.e. ip_address:0.0 but still get the same problem.
Oracle have suggested I use xhost + but still I get the same error.
I think something fundamental on the os side is missing e.g. Do I need xwindows installed?
The command xclock returns the same error.
Any advice ou there?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIf you don't have an xwindows display
no x apps will launch. Most apps that are
well written will have a fall back. If
can't open display use curses. Such as SAM
for example. If you launch SAM from a text
term with DISPLAY set it still can't open an
Xwindows display connection so it'll revert
to curses and menu driven interface.
It looks like this Oracle install requires
Xwindows just like xclock.
export DISPLAY to a xterm or graphical workstation IP.

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
Thanks for the info. Can I confirm then that I should install xwindows then use an emulation tool e.g.Reflections to perform the install?
Is there any way I can check I have xwindows installed ? How do I invoke it from command line.
Thanks

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
You should try Reflectiosm or exCeed as Xterminal. We use exCeed here, because it was suggested by HP.
Some of the guys at the support center here in Germany are quiet capable with help on that issue.
With this tool properly installed you should be able to install Oracle with the new Installer.

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
Also look for dtlogin in a ps -ef output
If it isn't running do
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin start

Don't forget about points if you want continued
interest! ;p

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
However the problem still exists. Are there any further checks?
Bill - my profile has changed and I do not get the option to add points. I certainly will when I get the option.

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
Your clue is xclock (or some other simple X application) - once you cac get xclock to display, you should be set for the Oracle Universal Installer. The Installer's only available user interface is a GUI, there is no curses fallback.

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
go to www.wrq.com and download a trial version
of Reflection X.
Issue an XDMCP diffusion, this will be clear
when you install reflection, and you should
see the hostname of the server running dtlogin.
After clicking on the server an X session
login screen should appear. Login as root
and then:
seeing as you're on a windows system running reflection, use start-run-winipcfg on 98 or dos-ipconfig /all to get the windows system ip address.
Back in the reflection session, install
your application as instructed.
There should be no problem.
If there is, use reflection to telnet to the
server, give it's ip and login.
then in the terminal window type
xhost +
export DISPLAY=WINDO.IP.ADDRESS:0.0
install as usual.
use sam to verify that the display works..
but all should be fine.

Bill

Re: Oracle Universal Installer Error on HP-UX 11.00
do not waste your money - you may need a X-Server
for Windows, but NOT to install Oracle8.
Get VNC from http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc (you will be
redirected to AT& Research in Ediburgh, that's ok -
they bought it). Get VNC for Windows32 and install it
(or only the "viewer") onto your PC. Get the HP-UX
package and install it on your HP-UX box. Start it,
enter a password for it, and then connect to it from
your PC with your "vncviewer" and the IP-Adress of
your HP-UX box as parameter followed by the server
and screen number - looks like X-Windows.
