Hi,

on LINUX and UNIX, Java products need access to the Java.awt library to run graphic related methods.

Most versions of the Java.awt library on UNIX require a functioning X server. The X server and the DISPLAY environment variable also needs to be correctly set.

ADD these lines to the /etc/profile file...

1. Start the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb)

if [ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb ]; then

/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16

fi

1. Set the DISPLAY variable for the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb)

export DISPLAY=IP_address:1.0

Hi,

add following line in /etc/profile

if  -f /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb ; then
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16
fi

then execute

export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS:1.0
