xhost: unable to open display????
I am a dba, not an sa, that recently had to take over administering an HP-UX server. Needless to say I am not in a comfortable area, but found out that of all people I am the most knowledgeable on unix here .... scary thought I know.
I am having troubles exporting my display to a Windows XP terminal. Oracle is throwing display errors after
export DISPLAY=<ip_address>:0.0. -or-
export DISPLAY=<ip_address>:0. -or-
export DISPLAY=<ip_address>
None of it matters ... still get errors opening a display
Have tried xhost +
but still get errors ...
xhost: unable to open display
Additional info ... I have been doing all of this through a telnet session, as I do not see ssh installed on the server, and unless its pretty dummy-proof to install it I am hesitant to do so ... again I am a lowly dba without the first clue on administering unix at an sa level.
The server is HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800 (te) if that helps with anything.
I have tried all this as both the oracle user and as root ... results are the same
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys,
I got this problem with NMON unable to display all the statistics specified via putty.
I believe this is due to libncurses rather than NMON and also the env variable $TERM.
Currently, the $TERM is set to "xterm" which should be compatible with NMON display.
Is there any ways that... (0 Replies)
