Running xclock as oracle user fails with Error: can't open display

edited Feb 22, 2023 2:56AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I tried using the Document 2608777.1 (oracle.com) but i am still having issues when trying to run xclock as ORACLE user. Its working fine as root user but not as an oracle user.

I am getting the following error.

[user@hostname ~]$ xclock
Error: can't open display

I am using Oracle Linux 7.9.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jagan
