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;
-
correction
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
