I am working on installing oracle11g but facing some issues with my Xserver as I see !

oracle@asa-laptop:/media/1cb920c8-7f8e-41ff-ae2d-ebc6542c1a51/database$ ./runInstaller

I set DISPLAY variable, but still same problem

DISPLAY=192.168.1.4:0.0; export DISPLAY

I tried to open even simple xclock but failed too :(

$ xclock
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.4:0.0

I checked Oracle site to get some help and they mentioned the following in prerequisites:

"An X server is required for this installation of Oracle. Note that we must disable the "Deny TCP connections to X server"feature to enable the server database to connect to the desktop. To disable this option from your desktop: go to menu System/Administration/Login Window, then at the Security tab uncheck the option Deny TCP connections to X server. Once this is done it will restart the X server."

& I couldn't find this tab to disable it. all I see is login screen

Could you please help me?

Thanks.
