Install Oracle 11gR2 on 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 but stuck on ORA-12547

810487Nov 5 2010 — edited Nov 8 2010
Hi all,

(I moved the discussion from 1117155

I have been struggling with this for several days and I thought someone may have some idea/solution.


For my development workstation, I have previously been able to install and run 64bit Oracle 11R1 and 11R2 on Ubuntu Karmic 9 and Lucid 10.04. I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 but noticed that Oracle seems to run very sluggishly.

I decided to wipe out and re-install Oracle and downloaded the newest i.e. Oracle 11.2.0.2 for linux x86_64, and relied on my previous installation notes and whatever I can find online - such as this forum - to help me thru the various quirks. Yes, I know Ubuntu/Debian is not an officially blessed Linux distro by Oracle, but due to my past successes, I went ahead anyway.

At this stage I can install the software by runInstaller, and run netca with no problem at all.

But running dbca I get stuck with ORA-12547 TNS lost contact and can't really proceed. Due to this error I can't create an instance.

I can run tnsping and tnslistener is responding. I also verified that libaio is installed.

Someone suggested that I take a look at http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_12547_tns_lost_contact.htm
so I tried relink all for Oracle but the problem still persist.

Did anyone experience the same problem? Any solution?

- Brian, stumped.

For your information, I did the following steps:
apt-get install  libtool  ksh  pdksh  lsb-rpm gcc gcc-multilib libaio1 libaio-dev lesstif2 lesstif2-dev libc6 libc6-dev-i386 libc6-dev-i386 libc6-i386 ia32-libs libelf-dev lsb-cxx make rpm build-essential unixODBC unixODBC-dev pdksh expat sysstat elfutils binutils binutils-dev binutils-source lesstif2 libc6 libc6-dev libmotif3 libstdc++6 alien
