Hello,

I ran it with oracle user which I logged in but I got the error listed below.

Please give me some advice to fix this.

Xlib: connection to “localhost:0.0″ refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified.
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for ‘xclock’: ‘/usr/openwin/bin/xclock’

Thanks,

This was fantastic. Just as a heads up, you can use:

xauth list | while read x ; do sudo xauth add $x ; done

Which will automate the process of adding the information into xauth. I put it in my .bashrc so when I log in it just simply works. You might want to add that to the post so other people might benefit it as well.

pilotHans, check the permissions on the .Xauthority file. The oracle user needs to own it and have read/write on it (chmod 0600 ~oracle/.Xauthority)
