Can't succesfully install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu
800193Sep 24 2010 — edited Sep 25 2010Hi,
I've been trying to install Oracle Database 10g xe on Ubuntu 10.04 and when I execute the .deb package (oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) I get a quick installation that doesn't ask me for any configuration settings. When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
can you give me some help?
Thabk you in advance!
