Oracle 12c Installation Error: "Exception ... Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11.XToolkit"

Solution 1:

Check if some JDK is installed in your system:

$ java -version

Installing JDK 7 solved my problem:

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless

If the problem persists, log as root, then execute:

$ xhost +

Switch back to another user and run installation again.

Solution 2:

I had this as well. As root, I executed xhost + first and then it worked.
