Answer 1

Hello,
Here are the steps that i follow to successfully install Oracle XE on Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 ( hp dv6220la ):
1. Using the Synaptic Package Manager install the linux kernel aio access library libaio1 0.3.106-5ubuntu2
2. Download the database:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
Make sure choose oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb for download.
3. Using a terminal windown type:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture /MY_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY/oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
then you get the following output message in terminal:
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Selecting previously deselected package oracle-xe-universal.
(Reading database ... 138603 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking oracle-xe-universal (from .../oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) ...
Setting up oracle-xe-universal (10.2.0.1-1.0) ...
Executing Post-install steps...
-e You must run '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database.
4. Follow the instructions in the output message.
As root user type in terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
here you configure http port, listener port, sys and system password, started on boot.
Here are the output message:
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]:8484
Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]: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:
Do you want Oracle Database 10g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:n
Starting Oracle Net Listener...Done
Configuring Database...Done
Starting Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Instance...Done
Installation Completed Successfully.
To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8484/apex"
After i do this, the database was successfully installed on my laptop and works fine.
