Xclock Error: Can't open display: - after upgrading to openSSH 5.2p1

I have got two servers apssvrX and apssvrZ on OEL. Both were built by the same team using their standard build scripts.
Having received the servers I had installed Oracle (ODI) product on it successfully.
Then as a part of requirement and as per Oracle support's advise, I had upgraded the ssh version on apssvrX server from OpenSSH_4.3p2 To OpenSSH_5.2p1, so that, I can implement the chroot jailing.
As per Oracle advise, I had downloaded the 3 RPMs from "_http://layer1.rack911.com/openssh/rhel5/x86_64/" to run them on my first server i.e., apssvrX and then configured the sshd services following the below steps:
a) Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config to comment the below line:
#Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
b) Add below lines:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match Group sftponly
ChrootDirectory %h
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
Then lastly, Restart sshd services complete the configuration
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
apssvrX server current details are as below:
apssvrX$ uname -a
Linux apssvrX 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 08:45:05 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
apssvrX$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
My problems started from this point onwards. I want to install another Oracle product using OUI, but when I try to execute xclock using the Exceed HummingBird tool on apssvrX server then it fails with the error - (xclock) Error: Can't open display:
I tried the DISPLAY variable setup as well but to no use.
Whereas I can successfully execute the xclock on apssvrZ and OUI as well. Its config details are as below:
apssvrZ$ uname -a
Linux apssvrZ 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 08:45:05 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
apssvrZ$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
Please advise the way forward.

Tried but still same error.
Affected servers's sshd_config is as below:

  • Error can't open display after reboot

    Hi,
    I encounter this problem :
    I just install SSGD 4.2 on Solaris 10 01/06 T2000 server. After installation I can connect to the SSGD using browser from my notebook, and can try the various demo (dtterm, xclock etc)
    I reboot the Solaris 10 OS.
    After reboot I tried to login again via browser in my notebook and try to run the various demo.
    I can login, but almost all the demo failed to execute, the X applications give error "can't open display:" with no hostname following the error.
    The only demo still runs is the vt420 demo
    Anybody can help me to point out what causes the problem ? I am trying to demo this SSGD software to a customer.
    Regards
    Adrianus B. Kurnadi

    I've noticed this as well, under Solaris 10 FCS, Solaris 10 U1, and Solaris Express nv_39.
    However, I have tried it out under S8 02/04, and S9 09/04 and I do not have this problem after rebooting the host at all.
    For the hell of it, I (rather badly) converted the S89/S90 startup scripts to be SMF manifests with S90Tarantella having a dependancy on tS89TarantellaWebServer as I thought perhaps there was a strange issue with the tta process starting before the web service had fully started (beats me why it would matter, ends up it didn't) - as my test S10 host is a slow Netra T1.
    I'd be interested to know what the difference is between it being started up via an rc2.d script and the root user logging into the system console running /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella start. I haven't even bothered starting to try to observe the environment differences between startup via SMF in S10 and init.d in S8.

  • Error can't open display while installation

    Hi,
    While installting oracle, i am unable to launch the oracle universal installer. I have already set the DISPLAY value to IPAddress.
    I am installing it from ora<sid>, it asking about xlock. When i am running it from root, i am able to open up xclock. But i am unable to open up xclock from ora<sid>. It is giving error as error: can't open display.
    Please suggest the solution.
    Regards
    Karunakar

    Hello,
    It already solved!
    What I did was:
    Open a new Term. session.
    Under root user I ran
    #xhost + *
    (this enables the X window for all users)
    Then I don´t needed to set the Display variable with the value  user within that Term. session.
    #echo $DISPLAY
    #:0.0
    ... then I test xclock to validate the display functionality and then I start oracle wizard installation with command
    #./RUNINSTALLER
    The oracle installation finish without problems!

  • VERY annoying thing with XServer "Can't open display" after a while

    This issue is *very* annoying I would love if someone could help.
    I had this issue for a long time, thinking I'll fix it. I googled, but everybody seems to have the same problem, but no fix (only temporary ones).
    So here's the problem : I installed archlinux on my (very old) laptop, everything works great, now I even installed the XServer, which however is causing this problem:
    everything works good for a while, but after a while, I can't launch any new programs, but existing ones work good... If I try to start any X-App in an already running terminal, it gives me:
    No protocol specified
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
    However, all already running apps run fine, they even can create new windows!
    The only fix I found for this is to kill & restart the xserver with ctrl+alt+backspace.

  • X11 remote app and XQuartz and xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

    Hi
    I have Snow Leopard  (10.8.4) and XQuartz on it I need to run X11 remote app on redhat.
    On local host echo $DISPLAY shows /tmp/launch-d33HNb/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
    When i do ssh -X (or -Y) [email protected] and try to run xterm i got:
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
    xterm:  DISPLAY is not set
    the sshd_config on remote host has

    #X11Forwarding no
    X11Forwarding yes
    X11DisplayOffset 10
    #X11UseLocalhost yes
    Question is do i need to set up DISPLAY variable on remote host?
    If yes which display number do i choose?
    if i do export DISPLAY=<my mac ip>:10.0 or export DISPLAY=<my mac ip>:0.0
    i still have message xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

    I remember now why I originally changed the ssh config file. Here is another trick: In a text editor, type
    ssh://[email protected]
    making the obvious substitutions. Select the line and drag it to the Desktop. It will create an inetloc file that, when double-clicked, opens a Terminal window and connects to the ssh session. I have several of these in my Dock.
    That is a neat trick. However, with LaunchPad I'm not much of a Finder double-clicker anymore. What is interesting is that the OS knows how to handle the ssh protocol. You can also type "open ssh://[email protected]" for the same effect. That may not seem like much of a gain, but it reveals some interesting OS-level possibilities.
    With an RSA key, I don't even need a password
    You can use the newer DSA keys. There is another neat trick too. Pretty much every set of instructions I've seen online suggests using an empty private key password because running ssh-agent is such a hassle on Linux. It is built-in to OS X. So, on OS X, you can create more secure DSA private keys with pass phrases that are stored (and encrypted) in your keychain. You only have to supply the Then, even if someone gets your private keys, they get nothing.

  • Xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set

    Hello, I am completely new to networking/systems. I have been asked to complete an open flow tutorial ( http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_Tutorial ) I have fininshed a part of the tutorial and when i used "ssh -X [email protected]**.*", I was able to log in successfully but when i type in Xterm, it says "xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set". I have downloaded virtual box, XQuartz and an ovf file as given in teh tutorial. I don't know what the problem is. Can someone please guide me through this? Thank you so much!

    I didn't quite understand what you were saying but when i typed "ssh -Y ..." this is what happened:
    mobile-172-16-103-167:~ mininet$ ssh -Y [email protected]
    Password:
    Last login: Sat May 18 20:25:50 2013 from 192.168.56.1
    mobile-172-16-103-167:~ mininet$
    ssh -X and ssh -Y do essentially the same thing. -Y is just less restrictive on X11 return traffic authority (basically it tells the local X11 display server that you trust the remote system sending X11 traffic to it).
    Now what you are display seems strange.  You prompt implies that your current system's IP address is 172.16.103.167 and you are ssh'ing to 192.168.56.1.  You get a password prompt as expected, but then the "Last Login" messages says you are coming from 192.168.56.1, which is should be where you are coming, but that it the address you are trying to ssh to.  And then to top it off, you command line prompt has not changed.
    So I'm wondering if 192.168.56.1 is the same system you are currently using, but just a different account on that system?
    Is this true?
    Also your prompt implies you were logged into the 'mininet' account when you issued the ssh -Y command to login to the 'mininet' account on 192.168.56.1.
    Or is it possible that you are loosing track of which system and account you are current remotely logged into?

  • [fvwm][main]: ERROR can't open display :1

    I can start a second xfce (session?) in a tty while I have a normal xfce session running in tty10, by logging into the tty and designating an alternative display.  example:
    $ startxfce4 -- :1
    Now I'm playing around with fvwm and trying to start it in a tty with xfce running in tty10, per the command and error below:
    $ fvwm -d :1
    [fvwm][main]: <<ERROR>> can't open display :1
    I've tried find a solution with no luck. How would I start fvwm in a tty?

    You have to start another X session.  Perhaps xfce hides this fact from you by bundling all that in the startxfce4 script, but any other window manager requires X to already be running.
    Use startx/xinit -- :1
    You can create conditional entries in your xinitrc so you could do `xinit fvwm -- :1`
    Edit: As I don't use fvwm you can test and confirm what I am suggesting by trying to start fvwm from a tty even in the default display before any other x session is running.  Calling just `fvwm` from a terminal should fail.

  • Can't open iWeb after upgrading to iLife 11 (Domain.sites2.)

    I just upgraded my iLife package from 09' to 11' just a few days ago. Since then I haven't been able to open up iWeb (09'). I realize that the iLife 11 upgrade shouldn't have harmed iWeb 09', but it's the only change/add that I have done to my machine in the past week. Every time I try to launch iWeb either from the dock or from the domain file itself, I receive the following iWeb error:
    Can't open file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
    Has anyone seen this problem?

    Did you move the Domain.sites2 file to that location? ...It can be moved, but most peopIe leave it where it usually resides and would see an error msg saying:
    "Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
    You could try moving your Domain file to the above location and double-click it there. And remember to always backup all your Domain files before messing with them.
    By the way, rather than posting a P.S. in your Public Profile:
    "i've tried repairing permissions on the domain file with Batchmod as well."
    ...you can edit a post within 15 minutes of posting — just click on the pencil icon in the post or reply you want to edit. Then make your changes and click on the Edit Message button to post those changes. Each edit re-starts your 15 minute window for re-editing.

  • Can't open Finder after Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10

    After the Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display i can't open the Finder and it says it's not reacting. The bar on top when i'm at the Desktop is also gone.
    Can somebody help me ?

    I had this exact same issue, and I was just able to fix it (at least for now).  I'm not an expert by any means, so I can't tell you why my solution worked, but if you follow it and it helps, then great.
    First, you'll have to restart your computer and open in Safe Mode.  Restart the computer and as soon as you hear the startup noise, press and hold the Shift key.  Release it when you see the Apple icon.  It will take a little longer to start up.
    Then download and install the free software called OnyX.
    Once installed, open OnyX and click on the Verifying tab, then click on the Preferences tab. Run the Check button at the bottom.  If it tells you that you have any damaged files, double click them on the list, one at a time, and then delete those files.
    Then I clicked the Scripts tab, and Executed all three scripts.
    Finally, under the Cleaning tab, I clicked on System and executed everything except "CUPS jobs".
    I then restarted my computer like it suggested (without opening Safe Mode) and everything was back to normal!
    Hope this helps.
