Unsuccessful reinstallation Oracle XE on Ubuntu
Hi all!
Please help me with some troubles during reinstallation Oracle XE on Ubuntu 8.04 box.
1. I succefully installed Oracle XE as described at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
2. Then I needed to reinstall Oracle. I deinstalled Oracle XE using Synaptic package manager, deleted /usr/lib/oracle, /etc/*/ora* (as it in 7.2 Manually Removing Oracle Database XE - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm), deleted oracle user and groups.
3. Then I tried to install Oracle XE using Synaptic as before, but I found that no user and groups has been created.
4. I manually created user and groups like described at some manuals for 10g database (i.e. http://www.pythian.com/blogs/654/installing-oracle-11g-on-ubuntu-linux-710-gutsy-gibbon) and tried to reinstall again and run oracle-xe configure:
grebenyukov@grebenyukov:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
[sudo] password for grebenyukov:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Configuration
-------------------------------------------------
This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g 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:

I found that no data files was created at /usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE
, no files at /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin and no oracle database engine started, but listener is started:
root@grebenyukov:~# ps -ef|grep oracle
oracle 8437 1 0 17:22 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit
root 8665 7410 0 17:30 pts/1 00:00:00 grep oracle
Tell me, please, what I did wrong? Why installation process flows unlike the first time?
Unfortunately, no similar symptoms has been found in search results.
