De-installing DB XE software

Hi,
I de-installed 10g DB XE according to the instruction in the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/toc-090217.html#CIHDDHJD
It appeared the de-installation was successful since I didn't see any error message after running the command to de-install it.
However, the directories that Oracle DB XE was installed still exist and additional oraInventory folder created during XE installation was still there. As a result, a diskspace was not fully restored to the state before installation. (3GB is still short.)
Is this expected and was this de-installation process really successful? OR, do we still have to remove the directories manually?
Thanks,
N

Note down in the manual steps, it lists directories to clean up.
The rpm/dpkg deinstall won't know about any customizations, i.e. if you've set up a filesystem just for datafiles, archivelog fies, user dump destination, etc.
Usually a filesystem cleanup is also needed, deinstall is not an installer operation that gets heavily tested ;)

  • Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working

    Hello there!
    I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
    OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
    Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
    when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
    'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
    if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
    then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
    start windows normally
    ==========
    -so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
    -then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
    if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
    but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
    ========
    5 years ago Report Abuse
    Additional Details
    so i just click 'next'
    ========
    then i have 5 options:
    -startup repair
    -system restore
    -windows complete pc restore
    -windows memory diagnostic tool
    -command prompt
    ==========
    startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
    -system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
    -windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
    windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
    ============
    but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
    but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
    =========
    i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't work

    If the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
    Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
    Are some restore points listed there?

  • I Installed the Apple Software Installer 1.0 Update Tonight

    Hello-
    I am not sure if this latest Software Update messed things up, but there are a lot of problems with my MBP now that I just noticed tonight after I installed this Apple Software Installer Update 1.0.
    First off I am unable to watch any of the online videos like CBS nightly News, some of the BBC News Videos, as far as I can tell anything that shows its content on a video screen from the companies website.  I updated Flash Player about 2 weeks ago to the current version because I started keepng Flash updated to the current version, someting I wish I would have never started.  when I went to CBSnews.com, clicked on CBS Evening News, nothing  (not even a video screen) shoes up but in small letters it says Please Upgrade Your Adobe Flash Player. According to adobe Flash (current versions for MacOS-Safari) I have the correct Flash version and I have watched these news broadcasts seveeral nights on ABC, CBS, and many other videos on mostly news websites.  On ABC I noticed it tonight since I installed this Apple Software Installer 1.0 Update, it shows a blank video screen but in the middle it says, "This content requires Adobe Flash Player - Ver 10.1. (on top) and on the bottom is a link that says " Click here to get the latest version of Flash." 
    The latest version of Flash for a Mac using Safari is what I installed about 2 weeks ago and is 11.1.102.64.  I am not sure what ABC means by 10.1.  The versions confuse me, especially if I look in Safari under "Help"--> "Installed Plug-Ins", it usually just gives the first couple of numbers, but now I cannot even bring up "Installed Plug Ins" under Safari---Help---Installed Plug-Ins.  it just gives me a blank screen.
    Is it possible to uninstall an installed update?  it is a major deal.  any suggestions on what I should try?  I know people who hate Adobe Flash (seems like there are a lot) will say get rid of Adone Flash.  But whay would it stop showing me what is on the Installed Plug-Ins Page?  Before, I just did this the other night, I open a new tab, go to Help on Safari's Menu bar to Help, then Installed Plug-Ins and it usually fills up the blank New Tab page with all the Installed Plug-ins.  Down toward the end it will show me that Shockwave Player, I think Mac calls it is installed, and it just gives the first few numbers of the current version that is installed.  Now I get no Installed Plug-Ins.
    thanks for any assistance.  I looked up in the suppot articles how to uninstall an installed Update.  I was going to repair permissions, but I have only ever done that using the Operating Disk.  that is how I was taught by a genius bar person several years ago, and I just kept up with it.  when I repair permissions using Disk Utility from the dock, let's say I do a test run and 20 permissions come up, I repair them and nothing changes, but if I use the OS disk and repair the permissions, if there are a lot it will get rid of them all but it usually takes 2 runs at it.  I know this is different from what most others say,

    I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
    I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
    One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
    If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
    I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
    As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
    DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
    The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

  • If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?

    I have several friends and family who are looking for a central place to access information from ( Pictures, home movies etc ).  So I am considering setting up an OSX Lion Server.  There are some other things I can use it for as well.
    Here is my question:
    If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?  Or would I have to install the Admin software on each?  Do they intend it to be used strictly as one admin to access many clients? 
    I always could set up a network drive so they can log in and just see the folders they have created with space on the server I provide them.  But I want them to be able to log an and actually use it as a Remote Desktop.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Dave,
    Thanks for the feedback.  I understand that ARD is meant for Remote Administration, but I was not sure if it could be used for my purpose as well.  The reason I was looking to do it this was was because I read several articles online about security and performance issues with setting up VNC and activating screen sharing.  Unless I am misunderstood. 
    As far as people's activities on the server, mostly it is going to be used as a place for them to store their media.  I will only allow own person ( Who I trust and I know wont botch the server ), to run applications.  Everyone else will be restricted to uploading and downloading content to their designated account on the server as well as a community share on the server.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

    With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

    Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

  • I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    Try resetting the printing system.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • I am having a problem installing the JDK Software. Please Help

    Please help I am Having trouble installing my JDK software. I tried to make a simple program saying Hello World and the program fails to work because it can not find my class.

    The Path seems to be set correctly because the Javac compiled.
    I have tried a number of different ClassPath Definitions like C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=.;C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=. and ClassPath=
    I made sure that the capitilization and the spelling was the same between the ILoveJava I specified in notepad and the program name.
    I am also having trouble with JBuilder, Eclispe and NetBeans with finding Classes.
    Another error that I received after I changed the ClassPath to ClassPath= .;C:\JDK1.4\bin\ was a

    Is their any other problem like a conflict of some sort that could be causing this problem?

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
