Re: Problems with X - help request

Hi, I installed Oracle 9i in my FC1 (kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl) then created the user "oracle" and the groups "dba", "oinstall", "opache" then linked the "oracle" user to "dba", "oinstall", "oracle" and "bioinfo"... and user "apache" to "apache" and "oinstall" groups. Trying to install the patch "p3095277_9204_LINUX.zip", I run the "runInstaller" located in the Disk1 folder created by that patch like this: [oracle@tryps oracle]$ /usr/local/oracle/92040/Disk1/runInstaller Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ./stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/jre/linux/ bin/java. Please wait...

If you can figure out which application causes this please report it as a bug against that application. and my ".Xauthority" is : [user@tryps user]$ more .Xauthority alhost.localdomain Trying to read the ".Xauthority" with "pico" shows strange characters. For instance, the XFree* packages installed in my machine are: [davila@tryps davila]$ rpm -qa | grep XFree XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-55 XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55 XFree86-xauth-4.3.0-55 XFree86-twm-4.3.0-55 XFree86-devel-4.3.0-55 XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-55 XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-55 XFree86-tools-4.3.0-55 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-55 XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-55 XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-55 XFree86-4.3.0-55 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-55 One question is: what should be in the file "/etc/hosts", any examples ? Could you have any tips to solve this problem ? Thanks a lot, Alberto __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo! Mail. http://antispam.yahoo.com/tools
