Re: xclock not working with oracle user or any other normal user.

Hi,

I assume your local PC IP as 10.172.19.54,
try setting DISPLAY=10.172.19.54:10.0 after su to oracle.

Your profile shows display is set to localhost:10.0

Re: xclock not working with oracle user or any other normal user.

As X has 2 forms of access :

host and user based and you are su ing to Oracle my guess is this is connected with the .Xauthority file in which case xauth -merge ?

Re: xclock not working with oracle user or any other normal user.

I assume you connecting from a PC to the server ...


I would just download "mobaxterm" to the PC, run it, "ssh user@..." to the server and start "xclock".

This will work.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Seems a bit optimistic in any case. Perhaps,
"could be made to work" would be more
accurate, but there's risk there, too.
