So here's my problem. I'm trying to launch the Oracle installation for a while, but I still have the same problem. I can't go further the welcome screen. It seems that my laptop isn't sending anything after to my Unix solaris box.
I tried with my desktop and succeeded. Everything's launched the right way. My problem is that I want to identify what's getting my laptop not to continue after this welcome screen.
Nothing is produced on the Unix box as error message or the like, because it's actually just waiting for the orders my laptop doesn't want to send.
I'm using cygwin to play my Xserver which connects. I'm sure that everything's ok with all the different pre install task as it works with my desktop...
Does anyone have an idea ???
Thanks a lot for reading me.
David

I think that your problem is probably a networking issue. Does your desktop have a static IP address? Is your laptop using a DHCP assigned address. Problems like this usually indicate that the application on the UNIX system can't do a reverse lookup of your IP name to display the rest of the info. Try something like "setenv DISPLAY <laptop_IP_addr>:0", where <laptop_IP_addr> is the IP address of your laptop and see if this resolves your problem.
HTH,
Ron

First of all, thanks for your reply ! I found another bizarre thing. Instead of using cygwin (which works for my desktop), I'm using Winaxe, doing exactly the same steps :
- launch Winaxe, X-server ready to accept client connections.
- on Sun machine and as Oracle:
export DISPLAY=laptop_IP:0.0
and it's working...
Concerning the root cause, the 2 computers are on the same network, receiving dynamic IP (actually always the same due to lease time). So it couldn't be a network error, DHCP side, but you're maybe right when you speak about reverse lookup.
I don't really understand what you mean by "setenv DISPLAY :0". What I used to do is initialize the DISPLAY variable with my desktop's IP address, which is running my X-server (use cygwin : doesn't work, use Winaxe, works fine), I'm doing this as oracle:
export DISPLAY=192.168.40.120:0.0 on my Unix box, and before launching the ./runInstaller
Thanks,
David
