Oracle 8i on suse 6.4

help! j obtain error in createOUIprocess
-1: bad address.

There is good information at http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/
Follow the link for your Oracle product. I believe they have a patch for the Oracle install files (to be applied before installing) as well as instructions.
I have not yet had time to try the install with their patch and instructions, so I do not know if they would resolve your issue.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

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.

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.*/

I found another thread in this forum where you can look up how to extend your swap space (look at the bottom of that thread):
re:Out of swap space during 9iAS install.
I am very new to Linux, I am very much disappointed,
I installed Linux with lots of hopes that I can
Install Oracle tools easily on Linux and work
comfortably. Now If I cannot intall a small database
Oracle XE, even with 1GB Ram and 25GB harddrive on
Linux, I don't realize why people run for Linux.
I could Oracle XE on windows on a machine with 512
mb ram in 4 minutes.Maybe you should take into consideration that you are not so "new" to windows and that each new system has a learning curve.
Someone please help.. in detail. How to resize the
swap partition at this point.Look in the provided link.
I have very limitted or no knowldge in Linux.Maybe you should change that or stay with what you know. I don't see any other way ...
As a sidenote, each command under Linux does have a so called "man" page (from manual). You also need to open a shell to access those commands as shown in the thread.
And please, take a look at the commands in that thread before you start implementing, since for example the dd command seems only to create a file with a size of 512M.
Knowing how to use a search engine would also be a valuable asset in your current position.

Oracle 9i and suse 10.0

Hello everyone,
i have just been trying installing oracle 9i on sus linux 10.0, but whent i get on the first installer screen, the next button is not working (no action triggered) so as the exit button,
i can see some java exceptions in the console :
View passed to RootItemDataSource does not contain data in TopicTree format.
sun.io.MalformedInputException
also for :
View passed to KeywordDataSource does not contain data in TopicTree format.
sun.io.MalformedInputException
with loads of line containing classname and line numbers
on that point, all i can do is close the installer window by clicking ont he closing cross, clicking on 'about' button and uninstall other products
note that some line in the exceptions specify the message "unknown source"
how could i solve this problem ??

Hello,
perhaps this may help (from www.novell.com):
: buttons don't work
The NUMLOCK key on the numeric keyboard must be OFF when the installer is started or the Installer may not function correctly, like you cannot press any of the buttons. Cancel the installer, turn off NUMLOCK and restart the installer.

Help in installing Oracle Xe in suse 10.2

I have successfully installed Oracle XE in suse linux 10.2.(my laptop)
The place I had installed had a Lan network available.
Now I usually work in a location where there is no network.
after I get the message that oracle XE is succesfully installed, I tried to open the oracle home page, but i was getting an error, that there is no network,
I followed the instructions to give no proxies for my oracle home page address, etc.but to no avail.
Can someone help me in this.
Do reply to [email protected] incase you need more information, or reply to this thread.

Ok..
This is not a network issue at all..
I am unable to connect to oracle even though there is network..
I was wrong.
Now here is the scenario..
I downloaded the rpm for oracle XE
i ran this command
rpm -ivh downloads/oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
then i ran the command for configuring
$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
gave the default settings
then I went to
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin
and from there ran the script file
. ./oracle_env.sh
the instruction says....
You may also want edit your login or profile files so that these environment variables are set properly each time you log in or open a new shell.

Where do I find the .bash_profile file in suse 10.2?
is this the final step to start working on my database...?
has anyone worked on this before?
It also says...
You can find the database creation logs in $ORACLE_HOME/config/log/*.
I cant find this path in my system...

Problems Installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0)

I have problems installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0). When I try to create the repository the installation hang up. I try over Oracle 8i (WIndows 2000) and the problems remain.
Please any body can help?
Is it possible to install Designer 6i and generate forms 6.0 (I mean for using Developer 6.0 (NOT 6i))?
Best regards,
JAGC

Marcel,
I had the same problem. Oracle gives as an answer that Designer 6.0 is not supported against 8.1.7. In the specified package a statement is issued which is a problem for 8.1.7. I changed that package and now it works fine.
Comment as below and replace with the delete statement, then it compiles fines.
I don't know if any problem can occur after that, but a Migration from a 1.3.2 repository to 6i works fine through this repository. Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

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

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)

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,

Installation problem Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux 7.2 s390

Hi all
I've got a problem after having installed Oracle9i on a S390 box with SuSE linux 7.2. When I launch sqlplus, I've got the following message :
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
It appears the shared library libclntsh.so.9.0 was not included in the tarball I've downloaded from the Oracle site.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Forget my question : I've found the answer in the document ID 158104.1. Even if my problem was not exactly the one mentioned (I hadn't any problem during compile time), the cure was good.

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.
