Problems with X - help request

[Alberto M R Dávila]

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 at 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...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11
window server using 'my.ip.addres:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY
variable.

I have java 1.3.1. installed:

[oracle at tryps oracle]$ rpm -qa | grep jdk
jdk-1.3.1_11-fcs

I am not sure at what moment it happened but my X is not working
properly... now I cannot even load "nedit" or "synaptic":

[oracle at tryps oracle]$ nedit
NEdit: Can't open display

My ".xsession-error" is like this:

[user at tryps user]$ more .xsession-errors
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and
utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0"
"davila"
SESSION_MANAGER=local/tryps:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2859
 
** (gnome-session:2859): WARNING **: Host name lookup failure on
localhost.
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function endElement
Window manager warning: Working around an application which called
XSetInputFocus (None) or with RevertToNone instead of RevertToPointerRoot,
this is a minor bug in some application. If you can figure out which
application causes this please report it as a bug against that
application.

and my ".Xauthority" is :

[user at 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 at 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
