found out many solutions but lastly I got one solution which worked for me.

But well I will post all the possible ways which you can try (as per my knowledge) to overcome this issue.
Error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
Specify the display protocol by logging into the user account you are getting the error
Solution 1:
Solution 1:
$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 $ xhost +
Solution 2:
Syntax:
$ export DISPLAY=(machine_name):0.0
For example:
$ export DISPLAY=10.10.20.42:0.0
$ xhost +
Solution 3 (which worked for me)
Login to the user account where you are getting the above error
$ xauth $DISPLAY xauth: creating new authority file /home/oracle/.Xauthority xauth: (argv):1: unknown command ":0.0"
The best way to check whether your Xlib display protocol is working or not is by using xclock command
$ xclock
After running this command you should see a small clock on your screen.
Solution 4
In case the above solution does not works
Login as root

Now test if your DISPLAY is working
$xclock
