Unix Display feature

[roman33]

Hi all

OS=UNIX (Sun Solaris 5.8) DB=Oracle 8.1.7

I am trying to run netasst GUI on my oracle installation. I have set my display env to the IP address of my box with the following error:

# DISPLAY=10.1.6.12:0.0 is not an identifier.

Is there another identifier I am not using?

I will appreciate your comments.

Depending on you shell. You need to either

SET DISPLAY=10.1.6.12:0.0
export DISPLAY

or

export DISPLAY=10.1.6.12:0.0

I use the second option because the change happens imediately.

what shell are you running in?

if ksh do

export DISPLAY=10.1.6.12:0.0

if csh do

setenv DISPLAY 10.1.6.12:0.0

if bash do

DISPLAY=10.1.6.12:0.0
export DISPLAY

You have probably set it incorrectly somewhere

Thanks guys,

The shell for my Oracle is Ksh while the root shell is csh. I have run both display types and still coming up with this error:

$ set DISPLAY=10.6.1.10:0.0; export DISPLAY
$ netasst
Xlib: connection to "10.6.1.10:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

You're refusing connections
"Xlib: connection to "10.6.1.10:0.0" refused by server"

you need to allow connections via command:
xhost +

Thanks all,

I realized I wasn't logged in as Oracle. If I was logged in as Oracle, I won't require to set the DISPLAY. And the error I received was as a result of the "set" in front of the DISPLAY.
