The most likely problem is that the vpn is blocking the port. I have seen that
before.

I’ll second what Rich has mentioned if you are doing a sudo as part of the
process. Here are the steps I have used (same as Rich’s, just cleaned up a
little bit :-) )
echo $DISPLAY
xauth list
sudo su - oracle
xauth add [output from xauth list in original session]
export DISPLAY = [value from original session]
xclock # test

With everyone working from home, a new issue has arisen. We can’t get
x-windows to work over VPN. That makes it difficult to run things like dbua.
Our environment:
Windows 10 laptop – at home connected via Cisco VPN to work
Xming running on laptop
SecureCRT running on laptop, under Options -> session options, X11
Forwarding turned on
Linux 7 server
Oracle 12, 18, and 19
I’ve tried setting the DISPLAY to the IP address on my laptop (from
ipconfig) and to 127.0.0.1:0.0.
When I try to run dbua, it sits for a while then returns the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not
initialize class sun.awt.X11.XToolkit
I’m sure someone has been able to get this to work. If anyone can let me
know what needs to be done, I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you,
