X11 problem

[Tonatiuh]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0

[oracle@rac2 oracle]$ xclock
Xlib: connection to "rac2.test.uvr:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: rac2.test.uvr:0.0

If I try to run the xclock application this does not work.

This is a privileges problem I think, because I can run well the xclock application with root user, but not with oracle user.

The path in oracle user .bash_profile is:

export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH:.

Any idea?

you have to set the DISPLAY variable like this:

export DISPLAY=use.your.ip.number:0.0

and run this on your workstation
xhost +

running xhost + command on your host

Hi,

1. Login as user 'oracle',
2. su - root,
3. xhost +rac2.test.uvr #Make sure this hostname can be resolved to IP address.
4. ^D
5. xhost +rac2.test.uvr
6. DISPLAY=rac2.test.uvr:0.0
7. export DISPLAY
8. xclock
