Instalation on Fedora

Hello everyone.
I'm a beginner in oracle. For learning I've downloaded Fedora Linux. Which version of the database I have to download to work with Fedora? Does Oracle work with Fedora?

Technically you are correct. RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) includes ES and AS, which are certified. And it includes WS which is not certified but includes the same core that is certified.
And Ivan is correct that CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL with very minimal change.
Of the 'free' variants, clones CentOS and White Box Linux have the following advantages:
- completely in sync with Oracle-supplied install and admin documentation;
- same 18 month active + 5 year patch life cycle as RHEL;
- Oracle-supplied, tested and supported patches.
The other variants have the following advantages:
- install and admin variants supported by community, like Werner Puschitz and Ivan Kartik;
- quick 6-9 month active cycle to get new features in + 1-3 year community support;
- exciting, new capabilities at the OS and environment level to test and try out.

Firefox 5 gives "Server not found" for all URLs - fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64

Under a fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64 on an Intel box, Firefox 5 (firefox.x86_64 5.0-2.fc15) will not display web pages. Internet connection and DNS resolution function correctly. For instance, I can correctly 'ping fedoraproject.org' but giving Firefox the URL 'http://www.fedoraproject.org' reults in a "Server not found" message. What needs to happen to get the URLs to resolve in Firefox?

Changing
SigLevel = Required
to
SigLevel = PackageRequired
in pacman.conf did the trick
No, that was my fault. I updated my release scripts yesterday and the new ones did not create the database signature symlink. I just fixed it about 10 minutes ago.
Change the SigLevel back to Required, otherwise Pacman will not verify the databases. Everything should be working again.
Cheers, upgrading is back to normal (good work on the repo btw)

Oracle(9.0.1.0) Install On Fedora Core 1

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone installed oracle(9.0.1.0) on Fedora? Right now, when I run the installer('/Disk1/runInstaller'), I get this message:
symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference (libzip.so)
Unable to intialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
Could not create Java VM
I'm guessing it's a JVM issue, what are the solutions?

Who can help me? Please give me detail guide.

Hi,
Seems a problem related to your glibc install. Are you sure you have the required packages ?
Don't know if your version is a 32 bits or a 64 bits one but check this link (32 bits) :
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb28052%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Installation%29
or this link (64 bits)
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb15668%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Installation%29
and follow carefully the instructions (Redhat instructions)

Oracle 9.2.0.4 install in Fedora problems

Hi!
Im trying to install Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Fedora Core 1 but I get the following error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/tmp/OraInstall2004-09-10_06-39-32PM/libactionFile170.so: /opt/tmp/OraInstall2004-09-10_
06-39-32PM/libactionFile170.so: undefined symbol: stat
This is after selecting all options in runInstaller window, any ideas?
thanks!!!

I'm having the exact same error on Fedora Core 3. Setting tmp to 777 has no effect. It was already 777 with the sticky bit set.
The link to togaware doesn't even talk about Oracle 9.2, only about 8i and 10g.
Does anybody else have an idea?
Thanks,
Ron

Netbeans install on Fedora 5 x86_64

Hi all. I wanted to install NetBeans and JDK 5.0 on Fedora Core 5 x86_64. I downloaded the file 'jdk-1_5_0_06-nb-5_0-linux.bin' from java.sun.com. After this I tried to run this file on my Fedora Core 5 installation. I encountered the famous error 'The installed cannot start in the graphical mode'. In order to fix this problem I tried all solutions I could find:
1. I disabled SELinux(through GUI).
2. I disabled the Linux firewall(through GUI).
3. I made sure my DISPLAY variable is set to ':0.0'.
3. I installed xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.1.x86_64.rpm. I couldn't find the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs file for Fedora 5 (I searched herehttp://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/x86_64/) therefore I downloaded this one. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot connect to the Internet on my Fedora 5 that is why I had to download the file manually. (I typed su -c 'rpm --install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.1.x86_64.rpm').
I have the following questions to SDN gurus :-):
1. Is there a way to make this file('jdk-1_5_0_06-nb-5_0-linux.bin') install on my system? Perhaps it is meant to be installed on 32-bit systems and I shouldn't have downloaded it? If there is a way to make it install please explain it with as many details as possible. This is my first Linux system and I only begin studying Linux.
I'm especially insterested in installing NetBeans. It's a cool IDE, I'm going to work in NetBeans on Fedora 5. If there is a way to install NetBeans not from this file please describe it with as many details as possible. Unfortunately I couldn't find a forum on netbeans.org that is why I ask my questions here.
2. Have I installed the right xorg-x11-deprecated-libs file? If someone has installed it via yum could you please tell me the name of the library yum installed on your system(And where I can download this file).
3. Since I'm a Linux newbie are there any mistakes I could have made while trying the solutions I mentioned in my message? If you know of any please describe them.
P.S. I know I'm not the first to ask this question. This question has been discussed many times but all solutions I could find did not help me.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Owen,
We have experienced the exact identical errors when installing 10g R2 on the same o/s version.
We tested a bypass of that error by clicking continue on the error window and let the install 'complete'.
We then attempted to start an existing 10.1.0.4 instance and the error libkaio.so.1 not found occurred. I then ldd oracle and discovered the /usr/libaio.so.1 was not found. It turns out we downloaded and installed the libaio_64 rpm then executed relink all. The link completed successfully and we were able to start the instance then manually upgrade it to 10.2.0.1.
It's my feeling that the lib file versions (32 vs 64 bit) play a roll in th eerrors occurring during this new install.
We are opening a TAR about the install errors regarding rmem an wmem kernel parameters and the swap space requirements documented and the associated error.
This forum by the way has a faster time to discussion than Metalink does!

I got the installation working on OEL 6, but you have to take a sharp eye on the (other) requirements, especially the required packages and kernel parameters.
Can you run "bc" on the command line? It seems not to be installed on your system. Try bc -v in a terminal. If you don't have it, install it with yum.
Here's the relevant section of my */etc/sysctl.conf* (activated by sysctl -p afterwards):
# Disable netfilter on bridges.
#net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
#net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
#net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
fs.file-max = 6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65000If you have "disabled" the brigde parameters instead of uncommenting them, it might be the parameters are getting evaluated.
Perhaps this helps.

Has anyone got the linux driver installed on Fedora Core

Hi I've read a heap on the forum about the linux beta driver and the horror people seem to have to install it. I have no idea what I need to do to recompile a copy of the kernel so I am hoping there's someone with Fedora Core 7 that has got this driver to install that would be willing to help me out with it.
All help would be appreciated
Thanks.

Solved with the kind assistance of paulricardomc on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477507
Short version of the fix:
1. Extract the edid from the Windows partition using softMCCS, saving as edid.bin
2. Save the edid.bin file in /etc/X11 (or wherever you like)
3. Include the following in the device section of your xorg.conf:
"Option" "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
"Option" "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
Fire up X and you're good to go.

Pro*COBOL not getting instaled on Fedora 14

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11gr2 on Fedora 14 x86_64 system,. But the Pro*COBOL pre compiler which automatically comes with Oracle is not getting installed (Instead Proc is available. I dont know why).

Please suggest me the procedure to resolve. Thanks in advance.
Note: In "Advanced Install" option I could not find "custom instal"l or a provision to select "precompilers" but other DBA related things found

David,
Can you try passing in the 1.5 VM location manually as listed below
WorkshopInstaller.exe LAX_VM d:\bea\9server\jdk150_04\bin\java.exe
Can you also make sure that the 1.5 JVM value entry is the first entry in the PATH environment variable.

Sun JDK installed on Fedora 8 but it is not there

I installed the Sun JDK SE rpm package on my Fedora 8 machine with installation instructions . But when I verify the installation by :
# java -version
I get,
java version "1.7.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b21)
IcedTea Client VM (build 1.7.0-b21, mixed mode)
where as I expect (it shoud hhave been) something like:
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode, sharing)
The rpm query output shows me the installed JDK (jdk-1.6.0_05-fcs).
Have I missed something during installation? How can I get it working?

Roedy Green [describes it|http://mindprod.com/jgloss/icedtea.html] as "Red Hat’s bundling of the OpenJDK version of Java for Linux. They can’t call it Java, JDK or OpenJDK because Sun has these trademarked. Red Hat can use the code, but not the trademarks under GPL."

StarOffce 8 install on Fedora 8 problems

I have Fedora 8 running on a Gateway laptop and I want to install StarOffice. After being unable to install StarOffice as a normal logged person I logged in as ROOT and was able to install StarOffice once but I could not use it as anybody else. The reason I was unable to install StarOffice as a normal user was because in the /var/tmp/un... directory I needed to run setup as ./setup. Ok, big error on my part. Now I have installed Sun java 1.5 and removed the link to the other java 1.7. I have installed Netbeans 6.0 and all of this is working. I have deleted all the StarOffice directories that I can find and then try to re-install StarOffice. After I su as root and the installer runs but it says I have to use the custom install because there are components installed. I can not highlight anything this does not seen to work. Can you please tell me how to completely uninstall StarOffice so I can reinstall it and make it work for anybody who logs on my laptop. Oh, one more thing I have uninstalled all the Open office dot org stuff. Also, this is a plan legal copy I purchased a few years ago. I use it on my Windows laptop and now I am installing it on my
Lunix laptop.
Thanks

Installing Linux Fedora

Hello, I had Installed win 2003 and 98, and I also had Linux fedora on another partition, when I format my windows systems and install only win 2003 and when I try to repair the boot options the linux instalation gives me the followinf error:
unable to align partition properly. this probably means that another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't have the correct bios geometry. it is safe to ignore but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders. I ignored it, and the installation finished.
I deleted my linux instalation, so when I try to install again it gives me the same. can anybody help me!!!!!!
thanks

There is bug in parted and there are many solutions or workaround for that.
The simplest ever is:
Go to BIOS and change the "access mode" from "AUTO" to "LBA".
If this will notwork then check for further solutions here:

We are trying to install the 2.1.9 on Fedora linux and run into issue of couple of modules missing to run the libsapjcorfc.so or the sapjcorfc.so files.
SAP instalation support SUSE and REDHat does this limitation exist for SAP Connector as well?
