Solaris

Good Evening,

When I try to install the oracle in Solaris 10, I get the following error:

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 27740 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 28555 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before


Any light please?

Thanks,

go and set the "DISPLAY" variable as mentioned from install script... as far as i know oracle uses a graphical installer and so you need to set your DISPLAY.

Hi
I have already set that. Problem is when I run xclock from root account, it works fine and when I run
from oracle account, it does not. Same thing for xterm. I have used the following DISPLAY settings for user oracle and tried all:

DISPLAY=:0.0
DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
DISPLAY=10.100.1.108

I am using monitor and keyboard attached to server. Thanks for hint.

Cheers,

if you are on local display, your first setting should work. have you tried the following?

Code:

$ who am i
$ DISPLAY=output from above command; last column; should be :0.0
$ export DISPLAY

Originally I logged in as root user and i did "su - oracle" which takes me to oracle home directory

When I run "who am i" here what I get:

$ whoami
oracle
$
$
$ who am i
root pts/7 Apr 14 23:27 (:0.0)
$

Should it be:

DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY

or something else?

I have another question:

somewhere down the road in installation something has gone wrong that my hostname is "unkown"
when I update the /etc/hosts file to some name, still after reboot again unknown host name appears
in terminal and it says it is set by DHCP.

I appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Thanks

You must have xwin installed.
DISPLAY=<ip_of_your_machine>:0.0
export DISPLAY
cat /etc/hosts

have a look at the file "/etc/nodename".
