10g on SUSE 10. Can I install?

Hi there,
I am trying to install oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on SUSE 10 SP1 Enterprise. When I tried to run the runinstaller, I got error message saying that it has to be SUSE 9.
Does anybody know if I can put 10g on SUSE 10? if so, how to get around the "check operating system" error? thanks.

The OUI for 10.2.0.x is not up to date for SUSE 10, so you have to bypass OS checks. Execute the installer as
$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

INstalling 10G on Suse 9.1

Please help!
I'm trying to install oracle 10G on Suse 9.1.
The Oracle installation guide mentioned the sysctl.config file that must to receive a several Kernel parameters to prepare the environmental. But this file just exist on Red Hat, not in Suse distro..
Could someone tell me on the sister file on Suse I need to do the entries?
Thanks in advance.

Oracle 10g on SuSE 9 with kernel 2.6.4

Hi,
i have installed Oracle 10g on SuSE 9 Professional with kernel 2.4.21-192 and it works fine.
For testing purposes i have installed a 2.6.4 Kernel and get the following error on database startup:
SQL> Connected to an idle instance
SQL> ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
Linux Error: 1: Operation not permitted
SQL> Disconnected
Do you have any hints or is the kernel 2.6 not supported.
Thanks Klaus

/* using strace I have narrowed this down to the shmget call for allocating SGA memory. Specifically 2.6 kernel generates a WAIT in this call and Oracle specify IPC_NOWAIT flag, hence the failure condition.*/

How to install oracle 10g on suse linux

Hi,
can anybody let me kbow how to install oracle 10.2 on suse linux.....
i have installed suse linux but couldn;t able to install oracle 10g on the same....
looking for gud suggestion.....

These two are good to start with
Installing Oracle Database 10g on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and on SUSE Linux Professional 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10gOnSUSE.shtml
Oracle Products on SUSE Linux Enterprise: Documents
http://www.novell.com/products/server/oracle/documents.html

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.
But this massage pop up when I used my browser first time before start database.
Actually when I clicks on yes to start database.
The web browser you are using is not optimized for this release of Oracle enterprise manager. It is recommended that you use one of the following:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or higher
* Netscape Navigator version 7 and higher
*Mozilla version 1.3.1 and higher
Dose any one know hoe to upgrade mozilla or install internet explorer 5.5, 6.0 or higher or SLES 8.
Regards,
D

You can download package for your distribution (for example) from http://www.mozilla.org or directly from SuSE ftp server ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586
IE for linux does not exist.

Stopping the Enterprise Manager Console (Oracle 10g on SuSE 9.1)

I'm trying to stop the Enterprise Manager Console by issuing the command:
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
Unfortunately, the command fails to stop the EM Console. Here's the output I get:
TZ set to US/Pacific
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.1.0.2.0
Copyright (c) 1996, 2004 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Stopping Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control ...
--- Failed to shutdown DBConsole Gracefully ---
failed.
The only way I can stop the EM Console (and related services--i.e., emagent) is to kill its process.
Everything (Listener, DB Instance, EM Console) starts fine. I can stop the Listener and DB Instance without any problems. It's just the EM Console shutdown that doesn't happen cleanly.
Has anyone else encountered the same condition? If so, what was the solution?
Here's my operating environment:
SuSE 9.1 (Kernel 2.6.5-7.108-default)
Oracle 10g
Thanks in advance for any help/insight.

Has anyone else encountered the same condition? If so, what was the solution?Yes. Shutdown/reboot of the system made the error go away.
Sorry, no better clues,
Toni

Problem with installing Oracle 10g on Suse Linux

Hi everybody!
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express from this url:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
it is free version for developers.
I copied it into computer where was installed Suse Linux Enterprise Edition.
But when I run it shows this kind of error:
error: rpmReadSignature failed: region failed: BAD, tag 15872 type 2047 offset 20480 count 4096
error: oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
It was downloaded without any problem. But checksum is different from that shown on website. I think this is the problem.
What is the problem? Does anybody know answer?
Regards,
Seti's fiction

Yes, you appear to have a bad copy.
I have not had a problem when the check sum matched. Therefore I encourage you to download again.

Installation: Oracle 10g on SUSE Linux 10.1

Can this be? I sat for hours preparing my all new clean SUSE Linux 10.1 server for the installation of Oracle 10g (Standard Edition)... and when running the installer it simply tells me that SUSE 9 is needed...
I've found others here in the forum having experienced the same.
Maybe I just downloaded the wrong version of Oracle?
The main download page is at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
I selected entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86" (the one directly below the Windows version):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201linuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 668,734,007 bytes.
Or should i have downloaded entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2) for z/Linux":
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10202zlinuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 838,518,746 bytes.
By the way, all these versions on the main page should have some kind of description, something like "This is the Linux Version for most standard 32Bit single and multiprocessor Intel compatible servers."
Well, since I'm completely stuck now with SUSE 10.1, is there any way to make the Oracle installer go on that SUSE version? Maybe SUSE can pretend to be version 9... but how do I achieve something freaky as this?
Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions...
Karsten

BTW, I think it's bad practice by Oracle not supporting SUSE 10.1.Actually, I think it is good practise for Oracle not to certify the public beta versions of an operating system.
Please remember that Fedora and SuSE Linux are cycled every 6-8 months, making then truly unstable for commercial purposes. IN addition, they are often desupported by the comminuty within 2-3 years, forcing upgrades. And finally, Both Red Hat and SuSE/Novell publically state that these are 'proving grounds for new features' (meaning they are beta).
Certification means that Oracle will invest heavily and train people on the specific operating system and work with the operating system supplier, 24x7 if needed, to make sure that customers will continue in production. I am not aware that the SuSE Linux or Fedora supporters are willing to put in 24x7 support they way the Red Hat and SuSE Enterprise groups are.
This does not imply the public OSs are bad. It just means that Oracle (and I) believe they are unsuited for commercial, business mission critical, immediate support required, environments.
By the way, I have the combination of Oracle10g and SuSE Linux 10.1 working, and it works well. However, I did need to make sure that the libraries to which Oracle10g was compiled are available in the OS.
Or maybe Sybase does better.... ;-pNot if the [glibc] libraries are incompatible. Nor does PostgreSQL nor MySQL.

How could I force the installation to not be done with graphical env?
I think by default is searching for the graphical libraries. Do you mean Oracle installation? Unfortunately you can't.

Install Oracle 10g on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10

Will 10g install on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10? If so, what setting do I need to change to get it to install?

Yes, it will install. Oracle supports it.Apparently they forgot to tell support. Certify still holds at SLES 9.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
It's possible to make it work. However, I usually watch http://www.novell.com/products/server/oracle/matrix.html for info.

Please also read the install documentation. This has been noted as a requirement for oracle-xe (you need one more lib ;) ) This also helps you setup your DB, etc, etc.
