Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit install, X server won't start.

Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day.
I just installed Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit on a older windows pc that has 32 bit architecture. When I reboot it, it comes up and says "Failed to start the X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
When ever it probes for the video card, its fails then reboots to this every time.
What do I need to do at this point?

I agree with Dude.
Oracle Linux is a server distro. You are installing it on a client platform. You are expecting it to support client hardware and have, by default, the required drivers on hand to support that client hardware.
I would think that the failure here is on your part, and not on Oracle Linux's part.
Why are you not using Ubuntu instead? It is one of the most widely used Linux desktop clients, and has out-of-the-box support for an extensive range of client hardware (from h/w acceleration support for video adapters, to supporting video/web cams. touch pads, WiFi chipsets, etc).
If you want to test drive Oracle Linux as a server platform on client hardware, consider virtualisation (like free VirtualBox).

Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit instalation problem

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit from Oracle site. I unpacked it and burned it on dvd, but it can't boot so I can't install it. I could't do it even with virtual machine. I also put disk detection latency to 15 sec so I could give Linux enough time to boot, but it did't help. So any sugestion? :) I have core i7 2600 and Gigabyte UD4 P67 B3, bit I don't think it is a problem.
Thx

This directory contains image files used during the Oracle Linux 6
installation process.
The boot.iso file that is sometimes found in the images directory has
been removed for space reasons. It is available as a separate download
from ULN. boot.iso is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful
in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the
CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage.
To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you
normally would.
From Images folder, installation DVD.
Can anyone tell me what to do

Is it possible to Install Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit in Itanium Server?

Hi Gurus,
I have 2 intel Itenium servers of same configuration. I like to install Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit in both Itanium Servers and Install Oracle 11gr2 RAC there. I have installed OEL 6.2 64-bit in x86-64 architecture server and installed Oracle 11gr2 there, but never done that in Itenium servers. Now I am confused if it is possible. To know the answer is very important for me and earlier the better.

JDeveloper 11.1.2 install on Oracle Linux 6 U1 64 bit

I am trying to install jDeveloper on Oracle Linux 6 U1 (6.1) and keep getting a variety of errors. I know that jDeveloper does not support 64 bit Operating Systems very well. However with the majority of new systems being 64 bit and the memory limitations of 32 bit is jDeveloper going to move into the next century and support 64 bit jvm's and operating systems natively? When will this happen?

I've been running JDev using 64-bit JDKs on OS X and Linux for a few years without issue.
You might be having issues with JDeveloper on Oracle Linux 6, however - the WebLogic install scripts, etc. do not include support for Oracle Linux 6 as of yet, nor Java 7.
Take a look at the certification matrix for operating systems and Java versions in JDeveloper:

Oracle linux 7 change resolution at install vmware

Hi,
while installing oracle linux 7 on vmware, my window is to small 800x600. In this case I can't see all option when I want to create LVM.
Is it possible to increase the resolution?
I have already tried increasing the memory for video card. Didn't help.
Regards!

Could you try this?
Create a file, /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware-tools.repo, with the following content:
[vmware-tools]
name = VMware Tools
baseurl = http://packages.vmware.com/packages/rhel7/x86_64/
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
Install the package:
$ sudo yum install open-vm-tools
Reboot
I also prefer Virtualbox but I hope this helps.

Fonts install now MacBook won't start

Hi!
Just got a new macbook as a mini design machine and installed my font library on it using font book (some 1200 fonts or so). Now the poor thing won't start up. It goes through the motions, but gets to the last stages of startup - spotlight almost appears on the screen - and refuses to go any further.
Are these two things related, does anyone know? On previous machines, I've always used a font manager such as Suitcase and ignored font book, but didn't on this occasion. Should I have used a font manager this time too? Is that quantity of fonts causing the macbook to have memory paroxysms, or does font book only activate fonts on demand like other managers?
So far I have tried all recommended startup troubleshooters, even down to resetting factory settings and flushing the PRAM. I'm just stopping short of re-installng the OS in case anyone can shed any light on this.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for the suggestion. Isn't it amazing that as you get wrapped up in OS progression, you can forget the old-school solutions! LOL.
Have tried this now and deinstalled all those fonts successfully. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem so was forced into an erase-and-reinstall anyway. I guess it wasn't the fonts in the first place.
Thanks again though.

ITunes 7.6 and Vista 32 bit - Songs in iTunes won't start to play

I have songs loaded into my iTunes Library but when I click them to play, they won't start. I didn't have this problem at first, but now I do.
I loaded about 20 iTunes songs and played them, but now they won't start and I can't load any more songs. Also, the mp3 files on a CD won't start either.
Running MS Vista 32 bit, iTunes 7.6, with an E-MU 0404 external audio card (usb 2.0).

B Noir-
Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.
HELP!

Cannot find an Oracle Linux installation for 32 bit machines

Can anyone show me where to find a linux oracle 11g or 10g installation for a 32 bit machine.
The ones I downloaded from oracle are all for x86 64bit machines.
Thanks

On following page
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/dat
abase/index.html
this is the link
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/linux_x
86_11gR1_database.zipWhat I actually said is that the link provided is for 64bits linux machines.
When I try running uname -r on my linux bash prompt, I get the i3686 tellin g me that I am running a 32bit machine.
On the other hand, installation guide specifies that we should check the kernel version and system architecture.
I don't think I should continue installation on seeing that I am trying to install a 64bit product on a 32bit system.

How to Create Oracle Linux 5.7 64 bit Bootable DVD

Hi Guru's,
I have downloaded the OEL 5.7 64 bit from E-delivery.
Below are the 2 zip filesV27570-01.zip and V27572-01.zip.
I have extracted the V27570-01.zip and it's contained another zip called 'OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso'.
If I extract the 'OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso' file then following folders and files exists.
Folders - Cluster,ClusterStorage,images,isolinux,Server,VT.
Files - .discinfo,.treeinfo,blafdoc.css,EULA,eula.en_US,eula.py,GPL etc.
Could you please help me to create a bootable DVD for OEL 5.7 64 bit.
Shall i just burn the DVD with OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso zip file?
I am unable to understand how to create the bootable DVD for OEL 5.7 using those two zip files(V27570-01.zip and V27572-01.zip).
Somebody can help me step by step to create a bootable DVD for OEL 5.7.
Thanks in advance

What possible reason could there be to install OL 5.7 since 5.9 is already available?
Anyway, you do not need the source distribution or any boot CD. The standard installation DVD (V36332-01) is bootable and contains the necessary installation packages.
If the download file has a .zip file name extension you need to unzip the ISO image before burning it to DVD. The download of version 5.9 is no longer zipped. In any case, before burning the ISO image file, make sure the file you download is not corrupted. You can check the "View Digest" page from the Oracle edelivery software download page and verify the checksum with the file you downloaded.
The checksum must match, otherwise the downloaded file cannot be used.
Under Microsoft Windows, see the following knowledgebase article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
Under Linux and Mac OSX:
$ openssl sha1 oracle_linux.iso
To burn the ISO image:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file
For Apple Mac OS X and older versions of MS Windows:
http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-ISO-Files-to-DVD
If you use any Type 2 virtualization software, such as VirtualBox, you do not need to burn any DVD and can use the ISO file directly.

Connecting from oracle on windows 2008 64 bit to sql server.

Hi,
Oracle Server name: oraxyz
Database: 11.2.0.4 on windows 64 Bit.
Database home: d:\app\product\11.2.0\db_1
SQL server: sqlabc
I have a oracle database 11.2.0.4 on widows 2008 64 Bit on host oraxyz. I have to connect to SQL server sqlabc from this oracle database.
So I installed gateway for windows on oraxyz server in location d:\app\product\11.2.0\gateway.
My initdg4msql in Gaeway oracle home dg4msql\admin looks like this.
# This is a customized agent init file that contains the HS parameters
# that are needed for the Database Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=[sqlabc]:1433//prodsql
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
Then I created a listener in gateway oracle home as follows.
DG4MSQL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraxyz)(PORT = 1524))
SID_LIST_DG4MSQL =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = dg4msql)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\product\11.2.0\Gateway)
      (PROGRAM = dg4msql)
Then in Oracle db home I created a tns alias as follows.
dg4msql =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraxyz)(PORT = 1524))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = dg4msql)
      (HS = OK)
Then created a database link as follows
SQL>CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK tosql connect to abc identified by 123 using 'DG4MSQL';
SQL> DESC sqlservertable@tosql gives me error
ERROR:
ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
ORA-02063: preceding line from tosql
Could any one please help.
Do I have to create any ODBC connection for that?
BR

Not part of your problem (yet) but I always get heartburn when I see someone naming their listener as if it has a relationship to something when it doesn't. There really is no point to naming a listener as anything but its default name of LISTENER.
So, in your listener.ora, instead of
DG4MSQL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraxyz)(PORT = 1524))
SID_LIST_DG4MSQL =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = dg4msql)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\product\11.2.0\Gateway)
      (PROGRAM = dg4msql)
Just use
LISTENER=
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oraxyz)(PORT = 1524))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = dg4msql)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\product\11.2.0\Gateway)
      (PROGRAM = dg4msql)

Apex on linux - when and how to install http server

1. I installed 10g Release 2 Enterprise Edition on Vmware Linux on my laptop,
2. I pathced database to 10.2.03,
3. then I downloaded and installed Apex 3.0.1 on them.
I thought Http Server will be coming with Apex 3 installation, but I understand that I needed to install that one between the first and second steps?
So I can not be sure if I will ruin everything if I install Oracle Http Server from the companion cd as the fourth step?
Also I would be so glad to have a reference like dizwell installation guides for apex on linux if there is any, I couldn't find up to now :(
Thank you for your guidance.

FENERBAHCE
I started installer from companion cd, and choosed 10g companion products(not htmldb) option since http server is listed at the bottom.
Installation finished on a new Oracle home successfuly but I can not find the *.conf files or opmn/bin folder under this new Oracle Home.
I must be missing something :)

APEX from version 2.0 works in 2 modes:
1) using HTTP server, but in version 3.x is not installed within instalation of APEX
2) using XML DB feature - it must be installed within instalation standard Oracle -
(Oracle XML DB HTTP listener with the embeded PL/SQL gateway)
APEX 3.x you can launch over these links (port would be 8080)
http://host:port/apex/apex_admin
http://host:port/apex
Try

Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit install, X server won't start.
