    You have to set the DISPLAY variable in linux
    normally DISPLAY=:0
    then export DISPLAY


    This will be automatically set if you select terminal from
    linux desk top;

    DISPLAY= your hostname:0

    export DISPLAY

    where do i set the display and export?
    is it in a file?
    or at the command prompt?

    thanks

    Hi

    You can do it at the command prompt..and before running the runInstaller script from the oracle CD-ROM

    go to technet.oracle.com and download linux installation guide, at least you get a picture what you have to do

    i tried 2 things. at the prompt,


    1) i typed setup and reconfigured the X configuration. but no matter what permutations of options i choose, it just prompted errro before i had to exited.

    2) i did a more /etc/hosts and get the line below
    127.0.0.1 basis localhost.localdomain onemorewordbutforget

    then i issue the below with the hostname basis and localhost.localdomain

    DISPLAY= your hostname:0
    export DISPLAY

    after which i mounted the cdrom, run ./runInstaller but still failed

    the error message is ErrorISPLAY not set...


    i am running on linux 7.2. my video card is working and is from S3

    Try the following

    Go to telnet session from Linux Desktop
    You should try it from linux desk top
    No need to set DISPLAY variable


    mount the CDROM
    then execute program

    if it is not working
    send the output of
    echo $DISPLAY
    from command prompt
