Unable to execute runInstaller: Check if the DISPLAY variable is set

I am unable to run the Oracle Installer (runInstaller) on my Solaris10 client (Windows Vista PC). The IP address of my PC is 192.168.0.191 and the IP address of the remote Sun server (from which I am invoking the runInstaller) is 192.168.0.192.
COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE FOLLOWING ERROR. Thank you in advance.

I don't know XMing, but for CygWin, you have to use a Cygwin windows to enable the XClient, not an external tool. Did you use the XMing tool windows, or did you continue with SecureCRT ?
Steps for Cygwin :
1. install from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
2. choose installation from internet
3. the following server worked for me http://cygwin.cybermirror.org
4. ensure the following packages are check :
xorg-x11-base (2 KiB; required, automatically selects a base set of packages for the typical installation)
xorg-x11-bin (1.2 MiB; optional, executables for xterm, twm, etc.)
xorg-x11-bin-dlls (2 MiB; optional, libraries (DLLs) for executables.)
xorg-x11-bin-lndir (5 KiB; optional, lndir program, useful for developing)
xorg-x11-devel (964 KiB; optional, additional files needed to compile programs for Cygwin/X)
xorg-x11-etc (335 KiB; required, configuration files for the X Server and programs in xorg-x11-bin)
xorg-x11-f100 (12 MiB; optional, 100 dpi fonts (75 dpi fonts are used by default))
xorg-x11-fcyr (368 KiB; optional, Cyrillic fonts)
xorg-x11-fenc (489 KiB; required, font encodings)
xorg-x11-fnts (16.4 MiB; required, 75 dpi fonts)
xorg-x11-fscl (2.2 MiB; optional, Speedo and Type1 scalable fonts)
xorg-x11-fsrv (201 KiB; optional, X Font Server)
xorg-x11-libs-data (154 KiB; required, X11R6/lib/ files)
xorg-x11-man-pages (551 KiB; optional, man pages)
xorg-x11-man-pages-html (596 KiB; optional, man pages in html format)
xorg-x11-nest (1.1 MiB; optional, Xnest nested X Server)
X-start-menu-icons (4 KiB; optional, adds icons for X Clients to the Start menu)
X-startup-scripts (22 KiB; required, example X Server and client startup scripts)
xorg-x11-vfb (1.2 MiB; optional, X Virtual Frame Buffer (Xvfb) server)
xorg-x11-xwin (1.3 MiB; required, the Cygwin/X X Server)
xorg-x11-xwin-gl (761 KiB; optional, the Cygwin/X X Server with ***EXPERIMENTAL*** GLX acceleration)You may also want to ensure that the inetutils and openssh packages are selected if you wish to use telnet and ssh to connect to remote machines.
5. open the Cygwin icon on your desk
6. run the following command in the new opened window (a DOS window command) :
sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh7. from the new window (a X window session), run
ssh -Y RemoteServerIPaddress8. test by runing a xlock command

    Thanks.Assuming you are connecting to the solaris box from you workstation via telnet or ssh ...
    Do you have an x-server (such as Exceed or xming) running on your workstation?
    Did you set DISPLAY to the ip of your workstation, not the solaris server?
    DISPLAY is redirecting "x" output to the specified location (your workstation), and there needs to be an x-server running at that location.

  • How to set the DISPLAY variable to run admsi.pl?

    Dear Experts,
    I'm trying to patch Oracle apps R12 using admsi.pl.
    hostname: black
    APPS db: VIS
    But I keep getting the error:
    Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
    This is what I did:
    VIS database and listener are already running.
    login to the linux server as unix user: applmgr
    cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/
    . APPSVIS_black.env
    cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/bin/
    admsi.pl
    Invoking Oracle Patch Application Assistant....
    Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
    huh ?
    set | grep -i "display"
    DISPLAY=:0.0
    set | wc
    435 486 25235
    I notice that there are 36 .env files!
    For applmgr alone!!
    find /oapps/applmgr/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
    36 36 2626
    For oracle, there are another 7 .env files!
    find /oapps/oracle/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
    7 7 513
    Did I get the environment (env) file correct?
    Or do I need to run a few more env first?
    If so, which ones?
    What would the order of operations be?
    sqldeveloper has given me problems with Display sometimes.
    But even sqldeveloper works fine.
    What is the secret to get admsi.pl to run in the normal manner?
    Thank a lot!

    Thanks a lot, that worked! So the perl script was wrong.
    In the meantime, I had done this, and it seemed to work:
    admsi.pl -debug

    A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
    that has to be a first.
    If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
    running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
    <hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
    export DISPLAY=hostname:0
    where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
    XServer from the display client.
    Apparently, you are not at the console?
    Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
    it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

  • Re: Failed to Start Deployment Server -- X Window DISPLAY variable not set

    I don't know how you have hit that in an normal environment:-( Can you describe what you did? As long as you start the bundled AppServer in the same environment as Creator, both need the DISPLAY set.
    A guess, did you try to install Creator as root and then use it as normal user? Don't do that. Creator is intended to be installed by the user who will use it!
    I know our updated JDK now throws different exceptions when the DISPLAY variable is not set than the one before. I found that (but too late for the release) and have the needed change. But so far I was not aware that any customer had actually hit that. So it was not considered a high enough priority to go into a hotfix. I'll file a CR and the fix will hopefully make it into a patch.
    As a short term workaround for that problem (But I still believe your setup has other problems):
    Go into <Creator_home>/SunAppServer8/lib/ and replace processLauncher.xml with the backup (processLauncher.xml.bak).
    The only thing you will loose, is the little icon in the Gnome/KDE/SystemTray.
    I hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • JMF in Unix-Shell:  No X11 DISPLAY variable was set

    Hello guys
    I've got a client-server application. The server runs on linux and is started in the unix-shell.
    When the server just sends out data which was received before, everything works fine. But when I'm using a processor (or a player) it says:
    No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
    How can I avoid this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • Music skips when the display off power setting kicks in

    I have a Satellite S55T-B5152, running Windows 8 (until 10 comes out). I've noticed a very odd and irritating problem - when playing my local music via VLC Media Player (just mp3s from the hard drive), I notice that the audio will start to skip after a few minutes.  I timed how long it took to start and it will happen after 10 minutes of no activity when plugged in, and after 2 minutes of no activity when on battery, each and every time.  I investigated my power settings and it turns out this *exactly* the amount of time when my display is set to turn off.  When I alter  the time for the display to turn off, the time elapsed until the audio skips will follow it exactly.    I tested this with another mp3 player (Foobar) as well and got the same results.  I can't test this with video as my display won't turn off if I'm playing video (either in the player or via the internet).   What's also kind of interesting is that if I close my lid, which turns off the display, it won't cause the audio to skip - it will ONLY happen when the time to turn off the display has elapsed.  So if my time to turn off display is 2 minutes, I can close my lid and the audio plays fine, but after exactly 2 minutes, the audio will start skipping. Anyone have any thoughts on this?  It's very annoying - I basically can't play music unless I set the display to never turn off, which I'd prefer not to do for power saving and longevity reasons.   Help would be much appreciated.   

    Mount the Disk Image on the Desktop.  Open Disk Utility and select the dmg file in the left hand pane:
    Next insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button at the top. In the next window select the burn speed you want.  I use 2x.
    Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Is the "deadline" variable also set when the Due transition is used ?

    Hi,
    I needed to understand if the 'deadline' variable is also set when the due transition is used. The reason I am asking is because of the following scenario that we saw:
    1. There is a Due transition form an interactive activity to an automatic
    2. The automatic had a Syntax error (typo) in a SQL statement
    3. When the instance reached this automatic... the instance aborted... [process level Exception level handling is not present :( ]
    My first thought was that there was an instanceExpiration exception, but was not certain.
    An leads would be nice...

    1. The exception is seen in the Engine Logs, but the strange thing is that sometimes the Expection is caught within the localized exception block and still manages to bubble up to the process level exception handler...If you have a 'throw ex' in your catch block its supposed to propagate up to the process level... (there is a setting to prevent this...)
    2. I tried adding the throws clause in the catch block to force it to always bubble up to the process level exception handle, this does not always happenThis sounds strange, that it doesn't always happen? Right click on the project, and go to Preferences, in the Processes category, set the Exception Handling to 'Propagate', that should send the error the parent process.
    3. I tried removing the localized catch blocks to always be caught by the process level handler... this also does not happen consistently... The exception is seen in the engine log and the instance goes on its merry wayIf the exception gets caught, (without an additional 'throw') the instance will continue...
    HTH,

  • Unable to Execute Explain Plan for the selected SQL

    When working with several SQL statements in one SQL Worksheet you execute the specific statement by selecting it and pressing F9.
    The same is not possible for the explain plan though.
    If you select the first SQL statement and press F6, the explain plan is executed correctly. If you try the same for any other statement, all you get is 'No SQL statement entered.' on the status bar.
    Maciej

    It is available.
    Type this in.
    create table xx (yy number(10));
    create table zz (aa number(10));
    select * from xx;
    select * from zz;Run all these statements by pressing f5.
    Place the cursor on 'select * from xx;'.
    Press f6 gives you a plan.
    Place the cursor on 'select * from zz;'
    press f6 gives you a different plan.
    The problem seems to be that F6 is still suffering from a statement selection bug which is already fixed for f9. That is selecting a whole statement results in failure to recognise a statement and the 'No statement entered' message.

  • How to check whether the ref-variable refers to an object or not?

    Hi,
    I think the topic says all!
    Thanks for help!

    Hi,
    Just to clarify:
    is bound works only in case if object variable is instantiated (is not initial).
    casting to object works always.
    So if we want to know also if initial variable is object reference type or not we should use casting to object.
    Example:
    DATA lo_my_class TYPE REF TO zcl_my_class.
    DATA lo_test_object TYPE REF TO object.
    TRY.
         lo_test_object ?= lo_my_class.
         WRITE 'IS OBJECT casting success'.
    CATCH cx_root.
         WRITE 'IS OBJECT casting fail'.
    ENDTRY.
    DATA l_is_bound TYPE abap_bool.
    IF ( lo_my_class IS BOUND ).
         WRITE 'IS OBJECT is bound success'.
    ELSE.
         WRITE 'IS OBJECT is bound fail'.
    ENDIF.
    This will result in output:
    IS OBJECT casting success
    IS OBJECT is bound fail

  • Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/X11/

    Hello,
    In a work trying to install ORACLE 11gR2 software in AIX 5.3,
    export DISPLAY=local_IPXXX:0.0
    xclock
    it works, can see the clock.
    then go to dowloaded oracle, run
    /xxx/11g203_AIX64_5L/database-> ./runInstaller
    Your platform requires the root user to perform certain pre-installation
    OS preparation. The root user should run the shell script 'rootpre.sh' before
    you proceed with Oracle installation. rootpre.sh can be found at the top level
    of the CD or the stage area.
    Answer 'y' if root has run 'rootpre.sh' so you can proceed with Oracle
    installation.
    Answer 'n' to abort installation and then ask root to run 'rootpre.sh'.
    Has 'rootpre.sh' been run by root? [y/n] (n)
    y
