xhost: unable to display "test:1.0"

hi,
I am installing oracle 10.2g with OS Linux 4 on VMware 5.  while installation to use xhost I have setup display as below :

DISPLAY=test:1.0
export DISPLAY

After this when i start installer ./runInstaller it show error message :  Cant' connect to X11 window server using test:1.0 as the value of DISPLAY variable.

any suggestion is appreciated.

First make sure that test can be resolved.   ping test.   Does it return the right address?

Also, even though you are in a vmware session, that doesn't mean you are using a non console head number.

You might try one of the following:

export DISPLAY=test:0
 
or
 use /sbin/ifconfig  (in the VM)  take the IP.

export DISPLAY=192.168.235.55:0


I believe the problem resides in the DISPLAY setting.    Also VMWare also uses some difference types of IP schemes.   Indicating whether you are using bridged, NAT, or Host only will be a big help.

hi chingmd:

Thanks for reply.
I am suing network type  BRIDGED in VMWARE

OK...  So the host of the VM should be getting it's own IP address.

What host and OS are you trying to display the output to?
