Oracle linux 5 installation

Hello,
I had installed oracle Linux 5 on oracle virtualbox as my primary OS was Win7 Home premium.
However, I now have a system with virtually no operating system.
Could you please let me know if OL 5 can be installed on a system having no OS ?
System specs:
4GB RAM / 500 GB HDD / Intel 3rd gen Ci5
Thanks,
Haider

"Could you please let me know if OL 5 can be installed on a system having no OS ?"
How do you think an OS gets loaded on a system when it is first built? Of course it can be installed on a system having no OS.
It's not clear what you have and even less clear how you got there. Are you saying you stated with a machine running Windows, then you installed Virtual Box, then used VBox to create a virtual machine, then you tried to install Linux on that virtual machine, and somehow trashed your Windows installation?
Or something else?
BTW, this forum is Databases - Installation.
Your question would be better served under

Is this just the next chapter in what appears to be a continuing saga?

Now, the Network Devices screen is NOT displaying during the installtion (where we have to enter the IP Address and hostname details)- the Network Devices Screen should come after the partition layout and GRUB boot loader screen.

Oracle linux installation

i am trying to install oracle linux through USB ..in partition management it is getting "what partition and directory on that partition hold the cd (iso9660) images for oracle linux" with options /dev/sda
/dev/sda5
/dev/sbd
what i have to do please help me TIA

Could it be you are using the wrong installation source? The boot DVD's, for instance, do not contain the OS installation source. Perhaps you won't have the same problem if you start the system using the standard binary distribution DVD, which is about 3 - 4 GB.

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.
Regards,
Michael

How to configure Oracle Linux 6.5 to request ip address from dhcp server

I have installed Oracle Linux 6.5 (minimal installation) on a virtual machine created on VMware vSphere 5.5. I have tried to configure dhcp during the installation by editing IPv4 Settings of System eth0 to use Automatic (DHCP) but somehow it does not work.
Then I changed the ifcfg-eth0 to use static ip address and that works.
Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=TESTOL
Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using static ip address:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
IPADDR:##.##.###.###
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
DNS1=##.##.###.###
DOMAIN:test.com
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
Based on my understanding, I should able to use dhcp by changing ifcfg-eth0 (I commented the parameters not needed for dhcp by adding #) but I have tried the following ifcfg-eth0 and it does not work:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
#BOOTPROTO=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
#IPADDR:##.##.###.###
#PREFIX=24
#GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
DNS1=##.##.###.###
#DOMAIN:test.com
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
I have also tried to add GATEWAY=##.##.###.### to /etc/sysconfig/network but that does not help.
I have checked that dhclient package is installed by using rpm -qa dhclient.
I'm new to Linux.
Thanks for any help

If this is your first experience with Oracle Linux, I recommend you perform a default installation instead of going minimal, which is just going to make things more difficult for no good reason. Enterprise Linux is not MS Windows and the difference between default and minimal installations do not compare.
You also do not want to use the rpm utility to install any software and use yum instead. The yum utility is standard. Rpm does not resolve software dependencies.
Your ifcfg-eth0 script is missing the line that specifies to use DHCP:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
You can also use the network configuration utility, even in text mode, by typing the following at the command prompt of root:
system-config-network
If the above utility is not installed:
yum install system-config-network-tui
You will have to configure an appropriate yum repository file. The process is explained in the Oracle Linux release notes:
https://oss.oracle.com/el6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U5-en.html
See 3.2.3. About Oracle Linux Installation Media
Then insert the DVD or attach the DVD iso image to your virtual machine and mount it as following:
mkdir -p /media/ISOimage
mount /dev/cdrom /media/ISOimage
The path "/media/ISOimage" should be the same as you specified in the yum repository file.
After that you can use the yum utility to list or install software.

Mandrake Linux 8.0 - can't get Oracle Universal Installer to run

Hi all.
I'm having trouble getting Oracle's Universal Installer to run.
I'm trying to become DBA certified, so I went and purchased
(among
other materials) a book titled "Oracle8i for LINUX Starter Kit",
authored by Steve Bobrowski, published by Oracle Press / Osborne
McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-212442-3.
The book includes a CD-ROM with Oracle8i Enterprise Edition,
Release 2, version 8.1.6 for LINUX.
I'm running an Intel P-III 500 MHz with 512MB RAM, 30GB hard disk
exclusively configured for Linux (no other O/S on it) and Oracle
(so LOTS of hard disk space is available), Matrox Millennium G400
video card (32MB).
My hardware exceeds all requirements listed in aforementioned
book, and also in Oracle's own documentation (from their web
site).
I'm running Mandrake's Linux 8.0, PowerPack Edition, with:
kernel = 2.4.3
XFree 4.0.3 (and I've also tried 3.3.6, with identical results
to those listed below)
glibc 2.2.2
I've followed the book's instructions to the letter, and set up
the environment variables, oracle user, and subdirectories as
required.
So far, so good.
OK. Now, here's where the problem appears:
I log in as the oracle user, and try to start the Oracle
Universal Installer (following the instructions in the book)
as follows:
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstaller
The computer tries to do some stuff, then spews the information
listed at the bottom of this posting to the screen. I press
<ENTER> after "OK" and get dumped back to the bash prompt.
That's it. I can't go any further. No Oracle Universal
Installer.
By the way, I've also downloaded Oracle8i Enterprise Edition
Release 3, version 8.1.7 from Oracle's website, and tried to
install that, too. Exactly same results.
The nice folks at Oracle have politely told me to get lost,
and not bug them for unpaid support.
I'd really like to get this stuff up and running, so I can
start studying and practicing for DBA, but I need help 'cause
this problem is beyond me.
So... can anyone help??
Thanks in advance.

I have Mandrake 8.0 on PII-600, 256 RAM. I used the downloaded
8.1.7. Edit JRE_LOCATION in Disk1/install/oraparam.ini to point
to your version of JRE 1.1.8 v3 (JRE from
http://www.backdown.org). Then try with NUMLOCK=OFF.
I just clicked the 'typical' installation. It failed at the end
and did not install the database manager. The error message was:

If you get beyond this point, let me know. Good luck!

[b]Can't not run the Oracle Universal Installer (Oracle8.1.7 for Linux) on

I have a problem when try to install Oracle8i Release 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on RedHat Linux 7.3. After I do the pre-installation tasks, i enter the command (runs as the oracle user):
$ /tmp/Disk1/runInstaller
I wait for the one minute and then nothing is happen. I don't understand the reason why the Oracle Universal Installer can't not display! Please tell me all reasons may be!

Sorry the Oracle version should be 1.7 not 1.1.7. I downloaded it from the web site. The JRE I downloaded is jre 1.18 because the installer asked for this version.

New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
1. Installed Oracle VBox
2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
No apparent issues with any of the installations.
Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?

>
The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
>
I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html

JDK Support
Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
>
As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
>
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
java version "1.4.2"
>
You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

Oracle 11g installation on Linux Enterprise 5 remains hanging at 43%!

Hi all,
as per Subject, I have installed a Linux Enterprise 5 OS downloaded by Oracle Download Center and it is now installed following the nice Guide here.
I have added the missing Linux packages and set up the kernel parameters as per Guide quoted above.
If I launch the Oracle installation, it completes the packages and parameters check fine, install goes fine until 43% and then hangs.
It's not freezing as the Installation window shows ongoing animations, if I try to stop installation it responds immediately asking for confirmation.
It just hangs up!
The Linux machine is actually on a VMWare image on a MacOS Leopard host.
I have tried it on my laptop and desktop as well, but the hang point keeps being the same.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I will copy more that last 10 lines as last 10 lines do not look too descriptive to me.
This will contain also my Installation abort.

Oracle Linux 6 u3 Installation via FTP

There is a need to install OS (Oracle Linux 6.3) via FTP. The installation process started fine, but after I'd finished with partitions layout and hit "next" on the window displaying "boot loader operating system list", error appeared.
the error: "Unable to read package metadata from repository. This maybe due to missing repodata directory. Cannot retrieve repository metadata(repomd.xml) for repository".
Ftp shared folder is OS iso file itself.

What you are trying to accomplish is creating a local mirror of the software distribution. If you can't download from a mirror and you have the install DVD, copy the complete content and structure to a locally hosted HTTP or FTP directory.
As already mentioned, you need to specify the path to the root of the installation from where you can browse the "repodata" and "server" directory.
You can see what the installation is looking for by opening the repodata directory and analyzing "repomod.xml". This will show you the relative path and filename including the primary.sqlite.bz2 file.
Make sure all your files and directories in the installation root have world read and execute privileges (chmod -R 755 /install dir) and make sure your ftp server is setup accordingly providing the right FTP_HOME and permissions. Also, what is your FTP server, does it support Unix filenames or translate them?
You can probably try another machine use FTP to connect to the installation source and see if you can navigate inside the directories and get the files.

Oracle Linux 6.4 Do Not Boot After GUI Installation

Hi Guys,
I installed Oracle Linux 6.4 in my Virtual Box Machine with Minimal Option.
There was only command page withouth any GUI.
and then i have installed 'X Window System' and 'General Purpose Desktop'
by writing
yum groupinstall -y 'X Window System'
yum groupinstall -y 'General Purpose Desktop'
I changed /etc/inittab run level from 3 to 5
when i test it with by writing
init 5 and startx command. It worked and i could see GUI Desktop
BUT
when i shutdown system and re-open system. Page remains as shown below. Any help will be making me so happy.
Thank you from now.

Dude!
solved the problem. I have issued your suggestion and i have received error with yum installation as shown below,
But then i have updated operating system with
#yum update
i reboot the system with
#reboot
and then i go into /etc/inittab file
#vi /etc/inittab
at the very end of file. I have changed runlevel 3 to 5 as you said.
and i test it with
#init 5
It worked !
Thanks Dude!

Oracle Linux 6.2 Installation Issue

Basic Oracle Linux 6.2 installation problems.
There are two iso files supplied for the installation.
V29609-01.iso (install files)
V29610-01.iso (bootable disc)
I boot from V29610-01.iso and the setup files run fine.
I am then prompted to identify the location of the second disc.
I encountered a problem where my DVD drive door would not open to insert the second disc.
To work around this problem I created a partition on my hard disc to copy
the installation files for the second disc to.
I boot from windows 7 (my primary operating system) and copy the installation files from the disc
to the partition.
I reboot from V29610-01.iso.
When prompted to identify the location of the install disc/files on my hard drive
I selected the drive where I copied the files to and press <enter>
I receive a message that it cannot find the image disc there.
I shut down.
I boot from windows 7 and this time copy the actual disc image
V29609-01.iso there instead
I reboot from V29610-01.iso and repeat the same procedure.
It still can't locate the disc image.
(I noticed the boot disc always defaults to the following structure in its displayed path \image\image.img
for the image file that it is trying to locate)
I shutdown.
I boot from windows 7 and this time create a directory called image and
rename V29609-01.iso to image.img and copy it to the image directory. Still no luck.
Why can't it locate the disc image?
Thankyou

@ O.P.,
What are you actually trying to accomplish? Replacing your Windows OS with dual boot Linux? In the later case I recommend you to use VirtualBox and forget about the old-fashioned and obsolete dual boot. Of course your system must not be older than 7 years with a x86_64 CPU and VT-x or AMD-d option. Why do you want to install a 32-bit OS?
Anyway, the V29609-01.iso install DVD is bootable. You will need to burn the .iso disk image doing a raw disk copy, but not the content of the mounted .iso image or you will loose the bootloader. There is plenty of information in Google searching for "burn iso image". If you use Virtualbox you can boot right of the disk image file without burning a DVD.

Oracle 10g Installation on Red Hat Linux

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 10g (Downloaded from Oracle Site) in a Linux Installation. I have checked with the following command about the Linux Version
# cat /etc/issue and the output is :
Red Hat Linux Release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
Then I am giving #uname -r and the output is
2.4.2-2
Now Oracle Installation Guide for 10g for Linux is saying that
if the errata level is less than 25 on x86 system then install latest Kernel Updates.
Please Let me know from where I can get the Latest Kernel Updates appropriately and what I need to do to put that patch into Linux so that I can smoothly install the Oracle 10g.
Thanks and regards.
Keshav Tripathy

Jer is absolutely right.... just changing the values in oraparm.ini to reflect your kernel distribution will work for you.
For example the file contains:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3
now to add your linux into it just check your version by issuing the command #uname -r
in my case the output was "2.4.20-8smp". I just appended redhat before this value and entered in the oraparm.ini file.
The new ini file looks like:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,redhat-2.4.20-8smp
[Linux-redhat-2.4.20-8smp-optional]
