ISSUE:
Server gives error while I try to execute the command xterm.
[root@quickfixlinux ~]# xclock
Error: Can’t open display: localhost:10.0
RESOLUTION:
a) Remove the loopback addressing in the host file entry.
b) Comment or remove the wrong localhost lines:
Open up the /etc/hosts file and comment out the line as below :
BEFORE:
[root@quickfixlinux ~]# cat /etc/hosts
#127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
#::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
AFTER:
[root@quickfixlinux ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
#::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
