I opened a terminal session in DSL and ssh to database server with '-X' option (e.g. ssh -X oracle@136.136.121.11 -p 22) and execute the X program and it works now. :-) Horace Hi Andrew,

My problem is fixed. I opened a terminal session in DSL and ssh to database server with ‘-X’ option (e.g. ssh -X oracle@136.136.121.11 -p 22) and execute the X program and it works now. :-)

The error message is OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactiveinstall sssion and said DISPLAY not set. I try to export DISPLAY value to my PC IP with '0.0' as suffix, but not successful. Is there any problem of my software setup like xVesa? Regards Horace Dear Andrew,

So instead of ssh-ing on using Putty, ssh onto the database server from your DSL ssh/terminal window. DISPLAY should automatically be carried over in that DSL window, but if not type 'who' at the database server shell prompt to see value to set for DISPLAY. Andrew. Hi Horace,
