[Oracle DataBase Server 12.1 installation on Oracle Linux 6.7]: Setup Display Manger
192.168.1.5 - ip address of my desktop
192.168.1.11 - ip address of server
If you install Oracle from Windows machine
Install XMing and additional fonts:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming-fonts/
I strongly recommend to reboop computer. Without reboot there was a problem from some oracle installation forms (At least when i installed RAC 10).
Next we should setup connection rights.
Simplest way to do it is - right click on xming shortcut. In properties in target field add -ac (without access control)
If you install Oracle from Linux machine

On Server:
To check you could install xterm or xclock
If you don’t install earlier package xdpyinfo, do it. It needs to show oracle forms on remote host.
# yum install -y xdpyinfo
# yum install -y xclock
$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.5:0.0
$ xclock
Or you may execute next command:
$ xclock -display 192.168.1.5:0
