Hi, I just installed Oracle DB XE 11gR2 on a Linux Kali (Debian) distrib and passed successfully the code installation. Though I'm now in the configuration phase of the Database creation which has been provided and got errors. Here are the details
root@kali:~/Downloads/Disk1# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Configuration
-------------------------------------------------
This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 11g Express
Edition. The following questions will determine whether the database should
be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords that
will be used for database accounts. Press <Enter> to accept the defaults.
Ctrl-C will abort.
Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:
Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:
Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same
password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use of
different passwords for each database account. This can be done after
initial configuration:
Confirm the password:
Do you want Oracle Database 11g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:n

Database Configuration failed. Look into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log for details
When I look at the CloneRmanRestore.log file I got :
LRM-00116: syntax error at 'sessions' following '='
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
select TO_CHAR(systimestamp,'YYYYMMDD HH:MI:SS') from dual
and of course got other errors in the cloneDBCreation.log

All my kernel parameters regarding shared memory, semaphores and files size have been well updated to support Oracle requirements.
Here is what I get from a df command
root@kali:~/Downloads# df -k

Does anyone else in this forum get the same errors ? Thanks in advance for your answer and help
