Thank you. As someone who is new to linux, I found all of this a little intimidating. Instead of steps 2 and 3 I used “sudo dpkg -i oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb” and that seemed to work just fine. I did step 4.1, but not the rest. It all seems to be working fine. I guess I will know tomorrow when I try to start the system again.

I have no idea why this is happening. It might have something to do with your packages, like you missed to install a package and now you’re getting a strange error.

I have installed successfully but anytime i try to login with the credentials i specified during the installation, it denies me access.
This is with the console and the web interface.
Pls help me out!

Thanks

I was trying to install the .deb downloaded from the oracle website, not the one from the repository. I’ll give it another try when I’ll have a decent wireless connection.

Thank you for help.

are you sure the file oracle-xe is not there? maybe you don’t have permissions. “configure” is a parameter passed to that executable.
and don’t forget sudo

Hello Andrei,

I’m trying to install Oracle 10g XE on Ubuntu 9.10 32bits, but I’m getting the following error:
Setting up oracle-xe-universal (10.2.0.1-1.0) …
Executing Post-install steps…
sh: Can’t open /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/install/sqlnet/setowner.sh
-e You must run ‘/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure’ as the root user to configure the database.

There is no file /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, I guess the installation stops at the setowner.sh.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks!
