Thank you for the help. Most answer asked me check permissions on following
three files:

/tmp, /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.X11-pipe

Those three files should have all permission to all users. I have correct
setup on /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.x11-pipe but NOT /tmp.

my /tmp was:

drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 535 Mar 26 09:20 /tmp/

It need be changed to :

drwxrwxrwt 7 sys sys 535 Mar 26 09:20 /tmp/

The way to do it are:

#shutdown -g0 -y -i0
>b -s
Login on single user mode
#chown sys /tmp
#chgrp sys /tmp
#chmod 1777 /tmp
#reboot

It fixed the problem.
