Shalom,

Lots of things to check.

/sbin/init.d/xfs start
# starts the font server edit /etc/rc.config.d/xfs to make this a permenent startup option.

Connect to the system with Hummingbird on a PC.


su - oracle # log on as oracle, not root.

DISPLAY=ip_address_of_pc:0.0

example

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.21
# 192.168.0.21 is the IP address of the PC

Mount the cd/dvd rom don't run runinstaller from the mount folder (see bdf)

/cdrom/runInstaller &

Univeral installer should pop up.

Post an error message next time for more specific help.

Depends on what X windows software you are having!!
I am using Hummingbird Exceed which is a licensed one! You also use the freeware Cygwin !!

Renga,

Download putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and in the putty configuration go to connection -- ssh - X11 - select Enable X11 forwarding and type X display location is your Windows IP address and this IP address you can get it from command line c:\ipconfig

Thanks,
Srini

I found the Quick Installation Guide located here to be useful.

The pre-installation tasks should tell you how to accomplish what you are trying to do.

[A. Clay Stephenson]

The fundamental requirement is that you get some sort of PC X server software (e.g. Reflection X, Hummingbird, Cygwin) and follow their installation and setup instructions. Then get a very simple X application (e.g. xclock) to work and you are then ready. If you have a Linux box then you already have everything you need because X is built-in and can be used to connect to your HP-UX box.
