X11 Forwarding - DISPLAY not SET when trying to run xclock

in order to use PuTTY with X11 FW feature you will need to follow these instructions:

1. in PuTTY configuration -> go to Connection settings -> SSH -> X11
    check the Enable X11 forwarding

2. check /etc/ssh/sshd_config  that X11 forwarfing flag set to yes
    if not - change to yes and restart sshd service
[root]# service sshd restart

3. open your server terminal using putty


4. check DISPLAY parameter by typing  ##echo $DISPLAY
    you should get:  localhost:10.0 (or something similar)


5. open Xming on your local machine (your PC)


6. type xclock command and you should see it

common problems that you can face during your xclock configuration experience and solutions:


if xclock is not found in your Linux server -> install xorgs-X11-apps rpm:
[root]# yum install xorg-x11-apps


xclock command gives Can't open display output
[root]# xclock
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
-> probably you are missing xorg-x11-xauth
fix it by  
[root]# yum install xorg-x11-xauth


xclock command gives Cannot convert string output
[root]# xclock
Warning: Cannot convert string "" to type XftFont
-> you need to install these rpms


[root]# yum install fontconfig-devel
[root]# yum install xorg-x11-font-utils
[root]# yum install liberation-sans-fonts

mount.nfs: backgrounding

if you face this kind of error with your remote NFS: [root@Vertica000 ~]# mount /files/application/Rremote3 mount.nfs: backgrounding "10.0.0.2:/files/application/remoteFiles" mount.nfs: mount options: "bg,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600,addr=10.0.0.2" look for the problem in the log file: cat /var/log/messages | grep mount  mount to NFS server '10.0.0.2' failed: timed out, retrying Solution: In most of the cases, you have a problem with your iptables in the destination server login as root to dest server (10.0.0.2) in my case and type this command: iptables --flush  the go back to your origin server to try remount the problematic NFS file system of course this is in case nfs server was installed and functioning properly. Good luck.

ora-65035 while create pluggable database from another one

or : ORA-21000: error number argument to raise_application_error of -65035 is out of range Cause: this error caused because of an unrecoverable transaction in the source DB. Solution: 1. either stop and start your pluggable source DB 2. identify the open transaction and kill it if you can. use this query to do so: select * from v$transaction t,v$session  s where t.ses_addr = s.saddr;
