X widows did not come after setting oracle environmental variable

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I want to know how to(1) set Display environment variable. I was unable to recorver from this shock while trying to install oracle on Linux 8 today. We had set up Oracle parameters and other stuff. But the X windows fail to start up after rebooting.
(2)You can put these environment settings at the end of the ~oracle/.bash_profile file if you use bash. So that I will not have to set the environment variables again when I login as "oracle",

I am installing on poweredge 4400.

At the command line you would go

"export DISPLAY=:0."

Generally the screen can be ignored (unless you have to screens at that ip address).

If there is no ip address given then it is assumed you mean the hosts ip address.

In other words.

If you are on your Linux box's screen, you would go

"export DISPLAY=:0"

If you are on some PC somewhere you would go

"export DISPLAY =:0"

Where to put this depends on how you are starting X. Generally speaking, it should be set by the graphical login application you are using ("xdm","kdm","gdm").

However, if you start X by using "xinit" or "startx" then youmight need to set it yourself.

In either case, if you find your DISPLAY is not being set correctly, set it in "$HOME/.xsession" and you will probably find it starts working again.
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"
