Are you installing Oracle?
I had a similar problem, as the installer doesn't like
running as root.
I got around it by assigning a password to the oracle user
and granting
oracle the right to ssh into the machine (temporarily), I
then did: ssh
-X oracle host
Ran the installer (did the same for all add-ons as well)
then as root:
passwd -l oracle to lock the oracle user out (just a
security measure).
Note:
X11Forwarding yes, must be there in your sshd_config if you
intend to
use ssh.
Also have you tried: xhost +oraclelocahost or oraclehostname?
