Can't succesfully install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu

Hi,
I've been trying to install Oracle Database 10g xe on Ubuntu 10.04 and when I execute the .deb package (oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) I get a quick installation that doesn't ask me for any configuration settings. When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
can you give me some help?
Thabk you in advance!

Was the oracle-xe configure completed successfully?
Are the pmon and listener processes running ... set your environment and connect via sqlplus if so. If no processes, the instance needs a startup.
$ ps -ef |egrep pmon

I cant install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

i download oracle 10g but i can't istall it.appears a message :"the install cannot proceed as service OracleServiseXE is present on the system.Remove the service ,reboot the system and retry the installation.my computer has Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 2.20 GHz 2 GB and Windows XP Dark Edition V.7.please tell me what i can do...thank you!!

Hello,
the install cannot proceed as service OracleServiseXE is present on the systemOracle 10g XE can be installed just once.
If you have already tried to install it before, you should uninstall completely 10g XE and, clean the Registry if not yet done
from any 10g XE entry.
Then, you could install it. On Windows XP it works.
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Installing Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.

Hopefully someone can help.
The standard method of deploying this unattended (i.e. pass the setup.iss via the setup.exe) isn't good enough for my purposes. As it is a vendor MSI (wrapped in an executable), I'd like to be able to run it with a transform (I want to remove some shortcuts and do a few other things that you can't do via the setup.iss).
I've tried using /V to pass the transform via the setup.exe, but this doesn't work. Basically I want to know:
a.) if there is any way to pass a transform via the setup.exe to an InstallScript MSI?
b.) and this would be the ideal solution - a way to bypass the setup.exe completely and pass the setup.iss direct to the extracted MSI file itself?

I would far rather Oracle provided an MSI installation that was customizable and didn't rely on .iss files and hardcode paths for an unattended installation!
I've found out option (b) is not an option. All the dialogs are contained within the setup.exe and so the Setup.iss containing the dialog responses can't be used without it.
So is there any way to actually pass a transform via the setup.exe?

Can Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition co-exist ?

I just installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. But I also want to access isql*plus for study purposes.
Can I download/install Oracle Database 10g without removing Oracle Database 10g Express Edition ?

I decided to download and install Oracle 10g myself and it was pretty quick to install. So I answered my own question : Oracle 10g Express is definitely able to co-exist with Oracle 10g no problem.
I want to post/share this answer for others who started with Oracle 10g express first - the journey I started.
The url isql*plus is displayed near the end of the installation together with the enterprise manager url. Pretty cool.
Now I can learn both Oracle 10g enterprise edition and Oracle 10g Express which is based on apex engine.

Then to change the password for the admin account run apxchpwd.sql and when prompted enter a password for the ADMIN account.
@apxchpwd
with not problems
Then I connected to SQL*Plus as SYS by:
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: xxxxxxxxxxx
but when I tried to run:
@APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
where APEX_HOME is Apex3.2.1 in my case
SQL> @Apex3.2.1/apex/apxldimg.sql Apex3.2.1 (I get the messages below)

My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.
Operating system is Windows Vista.
I started installing using the following commands.
@ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
I don't know what the input shall be.
Then it again stops at enter value for version:
I used 3.2.1.0
The window scrols a while and closes.
later I changed the password and ran the command.
@c:\temp\apex\apxldimg.sql c:\temp
but no success with installation.
the output is as following.

Installation error - Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Hi - I've just tried to install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition from the Oracle website and I'm getting this error.
Error 1327 Invalid Drive: I:\ . I've googled the error but can't find much. It seems that the path is hardcoded into the msi installation package.
Anyone else seen this issue before as I'm at a loss at what to do ?
I'm wondering do I have to create an I:\ drive on my machine but that seems a little unusual
Hope someone can help
Cheers.

This problem may occur if you have used the Disk Administrator utility included in Microsoft Windows to change the drive letter of the hard disk that the operating system is installed on, for example, the C drive.
The problem occurs because the Oracle Universal Installer uses registry keys to determine the locations of certain folders that are required to install Oracle. If the drive letter of the hard disk that contains the operating system has been changed, the registry keys refer to nonexistent folders and Setup fails.
To correct this problem, use the Windows Disk Administrator program to restore the drive letter of the hard disk to its original value:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and click Disk Administrator.
2. Right-click the drive whose letter you want to change. On the shortcut menu, click Assign Drive Letter.
3. Select the correct drive letter from the list and click OK.
If you are prompted to quit the Disk Administrator or to restart your computer, do so. Once the computer has restarted, attempt to install again.

Hello,
I need to install "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" with different database name example dev but it is taking
default name that is XE and there is no option come during installation where i can put the name of database as per my desire.First, note that you can't install more than one instance of XE per server. Changing the instance name won't help you with that.
As you've already found out, the installer always creates a database instance with default names. That's part of the "Express" concept: As little configuration as necessary to get a Oracle Database installed with just a few clicks. The second advantage is, that you can also simplify the documentation, as you can forget about several aspects when you don't have to configure them...
Since you don't have tools like dbca in XE, your only option would be to rename the database once it's created. There are a few threads on that topic in this forum, e. g. {thread:id=403056}.
But before you start working on that, could you explain why exactly you have to use a different database/instance name?
And also explain why we use "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" instead of Oracle database 10g. what is the meaning of Express Edition.Why and how should we answer why you picked a certain edition? The most likely cause is license costs: XE is available for free, all others are just free as long as you use the OTN license...
For an overview, there is a [url http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/enterprise-edition/comparisons/index.html]Comparison Matrix for Oracle Database Editions.
I'd furthermore ask why you still use 10g XE instead of the current 11g XE?
