Permission error installing oracle xe on Oracle Linux

Kresten Skovsted BuchMar 24 2020 — edited Mar 31 2020

I've installed Oracle Linux on virtualbox from a windows 10 host.

Then I've successfully installed Oracle XE, but when trying to configure the database I run into problems.

I do: sudo -s

then: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe-18c configure

then I give it the passwords

Then I get this error:

enter image description here

This is the permissions for the /opt/oracle folder:

Should they changed? I'm doing this as root?

Any help is very much appreciated.
