Oracle Linux 6.3 - restarts on shutdown
Hi All,
I installed Oracle Linux 6.3 on a standalone laptop. I updated it fully. Installed Oracle Database11gR2 and everything works perfect The OS reboots on shutdown command. There is no "wake up on LAN" or "Automatic Power Up". Checked BIOS - didn't find anything.
Didn't find any answer in google too.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Regards
Hi Thilina,
Please confirm you have installed all the rpms mentioned as per the notes provided by Hussein. Please verify whether you have installed all the rpms mentioned in the per-requisite setup by command:
rpm -qa | grep <rpm_name>*
In addition, please upgrade your rapidwiz when installing especially on OEL 6 as most of the issues are addressed in the latest rapidwiz and perform a fresh installation.:

Please also provide the output of:
find / -name libclntsh* (as root user)
A workaround is mentioned in this site, Please check whether this helps you and let us know:
Installation of Oracle R12.1.1 on Linux 64 bit machine | Oracle Application Technology
Thanks &
Best Regards,

Oracle Linux 6.2 restarts randomly
Hi all,
I'm having problems with Oracle Linux server i recently set up.
I'm running Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK2 (2.6.39-100.7.1.el6uek.x86_64) and all latest updates from public yum server on VMware eSX 4.1i & VMWare tools installed.
I've been noticing that when I'm connected with SSH to my server I randomly get an error that the connection is lost and all connected sessions fail. It all happens so quickly that I can not check via console if the server really rebooted.
But the data from last reboot command is kinda strange - output bellow.
How it's possible that all last three uptimes are being incremented at once?
Is the server really restarting or is there any timeout on ssh sessions or what is the problem here?
What can I check more?

Why Oracle Linux 5 cannot recover disk space after delete files ?
Folks,
Hello. When I create a Virtual Machine for Oracle Linux 5 to install EBS R12, I allocate 300GB to the VM. I download EBS R12 Source Files (45.7GB) and unzip the files (46GB). Total size of stage area directory(EBS_R12) is 91.7GB.
Because some files are corrupted and cannot install, I move the folder EBS_R12 into trash but cannot empty trash. I move EBS_R12 from trash back to the directory. Then at root user, use command "rm -rf " to delete EBS_R12 completely.
I shut down Oracle Linux 5 and restart it, 91.7GB disk space cannot recover.
I download some other files into Oracle Linux files and then delete those files, but disk space cannot be recovered either.
It seems that OEL5 virtual disk only can expand but cannot be reduced. The VM disk space is less than 200GB now and not enough to install EBS R12.
Can any folks tell me how to make 91.7GB disk space and some more disk space come up ?Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
Host OS is Windows 7, Guest OS is Oracle Linux 5 on the top of VMPlayer 3. The VM of Oracle Linux 5 is created on the external USB drive and not on the local hard disk.
There is a directory /tmp/VMwareDnd/376c7cae/EBS_R12 in Oracle Linux 5 file system. I copy/Paste the folder of EBS_R12 from Windows 7 into Oracle Linux 5. All of zip files and unzipped files are placed in the folder of EBS_R12.
After EBS_R12 is deleted, the external USB drive(F:) doesn't come up 91.7GB disk space.
My question is:
Where to run "boot>linux rescue" command ?
Does this command work correctly in the external USB drive ? -
Hi Guys
Successfully installed Oracle Linux 6.4 operating system , which subsequently runs as expected.
When Oracle Linux 6.4 is shutdown using standard GUI system/shutdown ,
it does a clean shutdown and power-off as expected ....
UNTIL some 10 minutes or so later , when Oracle Linux 6.4 reboots all by itself from a fully powered-down state.
Likewise when Oracle Linux 6.4 is shutdown using standard command line " shutdown -h now" ,
it does a clean shutdown and power-off as expected ....
UNTIL some 10 minutes or so later , when Oracle Linux 6.4 reboots all by itself from a fully powered-down state.
Clearly it is NOT desirable to have the operating system able restart of it's own accord.
A manual shutdown is typically done for good reason , and the server should remain shutdown.
The previous version, ie Oracle Linux 6.3 did not exhibit this behavior.
When Oracle Linux 6.3 was shutdown, it stayed shutdown
Question
======
Does anyone know how to STOP Oracle Linux 6.4 from restarting itself after a successful shutdown ?
Thanks

Then check in your BIOS (usually under APM) for any enabled power-on settings associated with PCI or PCIe bus (your NIC will use one or the other). -
IMac will only restart or shutdown from power button.
My iMac will only restart or shutdown from the power button, it also will not logoff users. It starts ok, but only after a hard reboot?? I have repaired permisions and no change. I have a clone I can restore from but any ideas whats up here?
The only things that I know I have altered are deleting files saved during migration from Panther (months ago)and running Unbuntu Live CD.
iMac G4 15 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 728ramAre you booting into Ubuntu Linux? Most of us here wouldn't now anything to do with it. If the problem is occurring when booted into Mac OS X, it may be a sign of data corruption in the power management and user settings. Some corruption is easy to repair such as fixing the directory (which I'd only do after a clone). Here's how according to my FAQ:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
And I assume the issue is with your iMac G4. -

Oracle Linux 6.1 guest fails to boot on VM 3.0.2
Hi,
I've been using the templates to create vm guests successfully, so time to push the boundary again!
I've created a Linux 6.1 PVM guest and, after a little trial and error to get the install boot working, I managed to run through the Linux install process. I then changed the boot in VM Manger to remove the Network boot option and restarted the VM guest and it failed to start. I checked the ovs-agent.log on the server and it has this error message.
failed (1): Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', "elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Not a Xen-ELF image: No ELF notes or '__xen_guest' section found.")
I'm not sure if its relevant but the grub.conf file looks like this:
title Oracle VM Server-ovs (xen-4.0.0 2.6.32.21-38ovs)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=544M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-38xen ro root=UUID=32f4fe8e-cc96-43db-9125-4097ec18024d
module /initrd-2.6.32.21-38xen.img
title Oracle VM Server-ovs serial console (xen-4.0.0 2.6.32.21-38ovs)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz console=com1,vga com1=57600,8n1 dom0_mem=544M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-38xen ro root=UUID=32f4fe8e-cc96-43db-9125-4097ec18024d console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8
module /initrd-2.6.32.21-38xen.img
Has anyone got ideas why it is failing for me ?

If it's from your guest, you installed Oracle VM, not Oracle Linux 6. -

http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
Then burn the iso disk image and restart the computer from the appropriate media. Be sure to follow the instructions of your CD/DVD software to properly burn .ISO images. There is plenty of info on the web. -
Compiling VMtools on Oracle Linux 6.2 gives errors
I am trying to compile the vmtools on a Oracle Linux 6.2 VMware installation. I'm getting strange compilation errors on all the vmtools. Log pasted below.
I have found thread VMware Tools and Oracle Linux Howto and followed the items in there with no help and no change.
yum -y install kernel-headers is all up to date
yum -y install kernel-devel is all up to date
Here are the issues I see:
1. Compiling the shared folder says linux/smp_lock.h does not exist, and then fails with SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED undeclared and unknow field `get_sb'
2. The network device driver fails in vmxnet.c
3. The vmblock module fails in dentry.c
4. The communication service fails in vmci_drv.c
5. The VM communication interface fails in vmci_drv.c
6. The X configuration is skipped because there are "no drivers for X.ora version: 7.9.6" (see the bottom of the log below).

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Enjoy,
--the VMware teamActually, I did exactly that:
yum -y install gcc
yum -y install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r`
yum -y install kernel-uek-headers-`uname -r`
The headers with the uname gave an error that the headers do not exist. The others ran fine.
I did:
yum -y install kernel-uek-headers
and that worked.
However, NONE of this changed the errors - they were exactly the same before and after. The problem is still not resolved.
However, I did try a different approach. I found the VMware Operating System Packages (OSPs) through the following link: http://www.vmware.com/download/packages.html. I installed that, and it seemed to work fine.
The problem that we had, which was the original reason why I wanted to have the VMware tools, was that the disk was sized too small and I thought with the tools we could resize the disk. It didn't work, we could not edit the size in the VMware console. So we ended up blowing away that VM and are in the process of recreating it at a larger size. I'll take a snapshot of the state before the OSP install so I can test the compile version in case someone posts something useful here. -

I have installed the package found on OTN here:
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/asmlib/ol6-1709075.html]
I've understood that the OracleASM kernel driver is no longer needed in OL6 because it's included in the kernel.
So what's the problem?
Thanks for helpingDude wrote:
ASMlib is not mandatory, but makes managing ASM devices easier to manage and provides a more efficient I/O path. Some of it is negotiable, however, I think your negative experience with the product in the past is NO good reason to advice how obsolete or useless ASMlib was. Because, sorry, it isn't. Please do the research.
The reason why oracle ASMlib is included and supported only by the Oracle UEK kernel is not to force people to use Oracle Linux, but due to Red Hat. Oracle was obviously forced to support Oracle kernel modules only for their own kernel, for very good reasons. Red Hat officially said "Yes, we undercut Oracle with hidden Linux patches".

Edited by: Dude on Jan 23, 2013 5:53 PMSo for those of us that do not use UEK, whether or not to use ASMLib is really not an option. If it is not supported, I would hate to "force" install it and have something go wrong on my production servers. So, whether or not I do the "research", the fact it will not be supported on RHEL6 only enforces my opinion does it not? -
Oracle Linux 6.1 : No Internet Connection.
I am not able to connect to the Internet with Oracle Linux 6.1.First,I had Oracle Linux 6.0 installed and running normally with normal Internet connection.I did an upgrade(upgrade option of the installer) and I ended up with No Internet connection.I thought that could be a problem with the option upgrade so I did a complete fresh install and NO LUCK I faced the same problem.The hint that can lead to the resolution of the problem is: When I had Internet connection the Gnome widget "green spinning wheel" was automatically turned on and searching for connection when I turned on my home router(as with other Gnome distros),and now I turn on my home router and nothing moves the "foreground/background computers" Gnome network widget stays the same No Connection.When I MANUALLY click on that widget and choose "System eth0" the "green spinning wheel" widget searching for connection appears and "CONNECTS" but in fact it is misleading because I still have no connection,I tested with Firefox for example.When I do ifconfig everything seems normal : interface etho with IP address 192.168.1.64(typical in home routers) gateway 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast adress 192.168.1.255 etc.,I did ifdown eth0 and immediately ifup eth0 but NO LUCK,so is this a dhcp that came with 6.1 problem or other known bug? anything that I can test/do?
Thanks.I prefer using such a router as a bridge - it enables different PCs on that router to make separate PPPoE connections. E.g. one can connect using an Internet ISP account and another can connect to a private corporate network.
To check whether the router makes a successful connection to the ISP, you should use the web browser sysadmin interface of the router. You can view the authentication details it needs to use, check the router logs and so on.
From a Linux perspective, I do not see anything specifically interfering with that. The two basic issues that comes to mind is a Linux firewall (denying you access via that router), or a broken routing table.
You can use the +iptables --list+ command to check whether there are firewall rules in place - or do a firewall shutdown using +/etc/init.d/iptables stop+.
The routing table can be checked with the route command.
You can also consider setting DHCP up on the router and using DHCP on your computers - that way the network interfaces on the client side is automatically configured and usually less can go wrong this way then having to manually (and correctly) configure the IP stack and interfaces on the client side. -
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. -
How to enable password request for restart and shutdown?
Hi,
I'm neither a Linux nor an Arch Linux newbie, but inexperienced regarding this particular issue.
I want to enable password request for restart and shutdown and want to know if I'm mistaken, because trial and error might become to time-consuming while working on a project.
I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … o_shutdown.
$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 22 03:02 /usr/bin/shutdown -> systemctl
If I try to run $ shutdown -hP 28 or $ shutdown -c nothings happens, I need to run $ sudo shutdown -hP 28 and $ sudo shutdown -c and type a password. That's the way I want it.
If I e.g. run $ shutdown -r now no password is needed. I want to disable this. It should behave the same way as shutdown -hP/-c behave. I want to type
$ sudo shutdown -r now or $ sudo systemctl reboot etc. and then the password should be required.
$ sudo grep -vn "#" /etc/sudoers | grep [[:blank:]]
72:root ALL=(ALL) ALL
73:rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL
The user "rocketmouse" should have all permissions after typing a password, but not without typing the password.
IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit, I need to edit
$ pkaction | grep login
org.freedesktop.accounts.set-login-option
org.freedesktop.login1.attach-device
org.freedesktop.login1.flush-devices

org.freedesktop.login1.suspend
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-ignore-inhibit
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions
org.freedesktop.machine1.login
IOW I need to replace every yes and no etc. with auth_admin in $ grep -v lang /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.
Am I mistaken?

Help with setting up LDAP Client on Oracle Linux 6.4
Hi,
I'm having problems getting my Oracle Linux server setup as a ldap client and hoping someone can find where I'm going wrong. We have Oracle/Sun Directory Server 7 with Solaris ldap clients already setup with ssl. We are also using crypt for storing passwords. Here are the steps I have done on the Linux server.
yum install -y openldap openldap-clients nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap
Edited the line FORCELEGACY=no to yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig
Copied the CA certs to /etc/openldap/cacerts
Ran: authconfig updateall enableldap enableldapauth ldapserver=zldap1.<domain> ldapbasedn="o=<domain>,o=isp" enableldaptls --enableldapstarttls
Changed pam_password md5 to crypt in /etc/pam_ldap.conf
Restarted /etc/init.d/nslcd and also tried rebooting.
I'm seeing the following errors in messages:
May 21 08:50:01 ryolinux nslcd[1261]: [c79ea8] ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error (uri="ldap://zldap1.<domain>/")

Here is what my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file looks like:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_REQCERT allow

Any help would be appreciated.
