display setting

Hi all,
I am having oracle 8.1.5 on HP 11.00
When I run any gui tool it says to configure DISPLAY, can anyone tell me in detail how to configure it .

Thanks

at the command prompt

export DISPLAY=:0.0

now run the gui tool.

Make sure you are running in an X window environment like Exceed.

thanks for the reply
how to make sure that it is running in X window environment .
thanks

Do you include the name of your machine also, for example:

export DISPLAY=slabcd.mun.netd.joescars.de:0.0

I dont know this is the first time i am working on this server.

All depends on which application you are using to connect to the server.

If you are using a telnet client like the windows Telnet of TeraTerm or Putty then no you cannot use those.

If you are using Exceed, XWin32, or even connecting to the server through a Linux desktop then yes you can do that. No specific command to indicate if you are using an X Windows client. If now sure ask your sys admin about running X Windows from your desktop.

I am using telnet to access my server
I even cant use vi it gives this string
a24y0Cs1A"tablsp.sql" [New file] a0y0C~a0y0Ca24y0C"tablsp.sql" [New file]a0y0Ca2
4y0C:q!

and it does not display vi screen

you cant use telnet to install oracle

need some sort of X (not sure if u can use a response file with a silent install)

oracle is already installed I just have to start accessing it from my machine.
I want to use vi
and other gui tools

ah ok, if you are simple using telnet to use vi and assuming you are in a k shell

export TERM=vt100

then you should be able to use vi, cant run GUI tools though, sorry but you need an X emulator for that. There are probably some free ones around

When I do export I get this error
Please help

export TERM = vt100
ksh: =: is not an identifier

no spaces are allowed

export TERM=vt100

not

export TERM = vt100

it worked
thanks a lot
