1.1.3.1 Failed to Connect to Server Error
If you receive an
Xlib error or a “Failed to connect to Server” error when running OUI on Linux, verify that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly and that the Linux host can access the X11 display.
- On the host where you are running OUI, set the DISPLAY environment variable:
export DISPLAY=<machine_name>:0.0 - Replace
<machine_name>with the host name or IP address of the computer that will display the OUI window. - On the computer that will display OUI, allow X11 connections from the Linux host using your site-approved X11 access method. Avoid unrestricted access such as
xhost +unless it is explicitly permitted by your security policy. - Rerun the installer:
sh ./runInstaller.sh
