It seems that you run oemctl as a different user the the one who owns the windowmanager-session. so you have to allow this other user to show his windows on your screen.

try on a commandline of the owner of the windowmanager-session:   xhost +
and before starting oemctl do
  export DISPLAY=<name_of_your_host>:0.0

(replace <name_of_your_host> by the name of your host (computer))
