如何使用VNC Viewer将Oracle 12c安装到不带X的数据库中？

Question

I have installed Oracle Linux 6.8 server, and I must to install an Oracle 12c to it, without X. I should use VNC Viewer, witch I installed, and it's working.

My problem is, when I run ./runInstaller, its says:"Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set."

How to solve this problem using VNC, and how to set DISPLAY variable (where is it, and how to set is correctly)?

Answer 1

The DISPLAY variable is intended for the X server rather than VNC. This may resolve the issue for you.

Install Cygwin if you are using a Windows machine at http://cygwin.com/ and configure it with the x server. If you are on an OS X machine install Xquartz.

Connect to the machine with ssh in the following manner.

ssh -X user@hostname

The -X option for ssh automatically sets the DISPLAY variable for you. When you run ./runinstaller it will display the installations screen on your local workstation if you have X configured correctly there.

Here's a blog article I wrote for OTN that contains more information and may be of assistance for you.
