Hello,

Ive installed 9.04 Server and now I want to install Oracle 10g for linux.
For that I'm using the HowTo at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1182687
Oracle wants to start a Window but on the command line server its not possible.

I ve set the DISPLAY variable to "192.168.62.112:0.0". The destination machine is a windows machine on that I've installed Xcygwin and the Cygwin XServer is running. When I try "telnet 192.168.62.112 6000" from my ubuntu machine I can connect so firewall/network reasons are impossible.

When I try

oracle@finweb:/etc/X11$ xclock &

I get this error

[1] 15896
oracle@finweb:/etc/X11$ No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.62.112:0.0


Whats the problem?

Thank you

Regards
Ben

Use xhost + to "unlock" the display and allow forwarding.
