I have tried everything to solve this problem like :

export DISPLAY=:10.0
export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

I tried also the port 0.0 but i get always the same error

after trying xhost

xhost +local:all
xhost:  unable to open display ""
xhost:  unable to open display ":10.0"

how can i fix this i thought that the X Server is not runing so i tried startx its says its runing at that port

my system is Ubuntu server edition 10.04

Soluzione

This command helped me to solve the problem:

export DISPLAY=:0

You need to specify the -Djava.awt.headless=true parameter at startup time.

Remove the DISPLAY variable

unset DISPLAY

This helps in most cases (e.g. starting application servers or other java based tools) and avoids to modify all that many command lines.

It can also be comfortable to add it to the .bash_profile for a dedicated app-server/tools user.

I think you are working in sudo mode.Please checkout to the user mode and try again

In case anybody trying to run the automated unit tests via maven-surefire-plugin on CI(jenkins,..), and getting the above mentioned error, be sure to update your surefire plugin configuration :

<plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
     <configuration>
            <systemPropertyVariables>
                <java.awt.headless>true</java.awt.headless>
            </systemPropertyVariables>
      </configuration>
</plugin>

This will fix it:

/usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true $Your_program

For me logging in as -Y instead of -X worked.

In case you've got untrusted X11 as shown below, then try -Y flag instead (if you trust the host):

Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated

After several days of futile effort of installing glassfish on raspberry pi 2 with headless fedora 22, Below worked for me without a hitch

 unset DISPLAY
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar glassfissh-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jar

got my help from here

First: start XQuartz

Second: ssh -X user@ip_address

...: start your process

if you ssh and then start XQuartz you will get that error

If you are trying to export display using su and it still doesn't work. This is what worked for me. Try X11 forwarding for sudo users.

Connect the remote host using the -X option with ssh.

# ssh -X root@remote-host

Now list the coockie set for the current user.

# xauth list $DISPLAY
    node01.thegeekdiary.com/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  dacbc5765ec54a1d7115a172147866aa
# echo $DSIPLAY
    localhost:10.0

Switch to another user account using sudo. Add the cookie from the command output above to the sudo user.

# sudo su - [user]
# xauth add node01.thegeekdiary.com/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  dacbc5765ec54a1d7115a172147866aa

Export the display from step 2 again for the sudo user. Try the command xclock to verify if the x client applications are working as expected.

# export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

I was using Xming and got similar error. Following steps were taken to fix the issue:

In Xming launch check the box no access control.
In putty ran the following command: DISPLAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:0.0; export DISPLAY

Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XX with your IP address.

First do this either in Build Phase of Jenkins if using or set in /etc/profile:

unset DISPLAY
export DISPLAY=:0

then set this property either in java code or using maven: -Djava.awt.headless=false

Solved. I just logout and login with xorg!

This fixed my problem

xhost +

but Be aware that xhost + completely deactivates authentication and allows everyone to access all application on your screen.

xhost +si:localuser:root seems to work similar with proper authentication.

Michael-O gave useful approach to solve the problem. Another way to solve this is by starting the server with Putty Console.

In my case there was no space left in my machine and I faced the same issue. Some times it could be the space issue. Check the space in your Linux/Unix environment and make sure your machine have enough space.

check whether $DISPLAY variable is set or not, with the below command:

echo $DISPLAY

if the display variable is not set, run the below command to set, (even if it is set, you can have below one for your session)

export DISPLAY=:0.0

in putty also have the x display location as :0.0

I had the same issue on the Linux server I was working on. Connecting java to a X11 display worked on the head node, but not on any other. After contacting the administrator, it turned out that the current version of our job-scheduling system (SLURM) did not support X11 forwarding. They had to update SLURM (newer versions of SLURM support it) for it to work.

the only way i got it to work was running the script with a template. e.g. sudo ./glassfish-3.1.2.2-unix.sh -s template

This installs Glassfish in Silent Mode. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2427/ghmva.html

I run into the same error with you when i run the jconsole command at remote. I want to modify a parameter at jconsole that run on a remote Linux host, i can login the host use the secureCRT, the terminal throw this error information. Fortunately, when use the Putty, it's ok. Weird....

If you see this error in Hudson, try to remove the .java directory from your home directory, it may work for you.

If you start application on a remote server while logged in by ssh then another way would be to start ssh with -x parameter or add ForwardX11 no in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config. In this case ssh will not create environment variable DISPLAY.

If you're triggering your code from Jenkins, enabling the option "Start Xvfb before the build, and shut it down after" might help. It helped me.

change to a another user and try except root. it works for me.

I just didn't log out of root before running ./studio.sh All set.

For Ubuntu 17.10 Install X virtual frame buffer (xvfb)

apt install xvfb

And added these lines to the /etc/profile file...

# Start the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb)
if [ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb ]; then
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1366x768x32
fi

# Set the DISPLAY variable for the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb)
export DISPLAY=localhost:1.0

In my case this error was not related to the DISPLAY port. I was trying to load an XML into Windchill (a PLM-software) and received only the above error on the terminal. In a logfile I found the report that my XML-file was corrupt. Maybe someone has a similar problem and can use this answer.

Mine issue was with the firewall. Disabled it temporarily.

[EDIT] And, the server hostname was pointing to another IP. Set it to simply localserver. strace xclock helped to debug this issue.

I have fixed this issue by logging in using Xorg. By default, I have used Wayland. It looks like Wayland eliminates most of the design flaws of the Xorg it has its own issues.

For me none of the above worked, but after long search this worked for me.

export DISPLAY=localhost:20.0
