Oracle8i Release 2 (8.1.6) on Mandrake Linux 7.1

I am trying to install Oracle8i R2 on Linux Mandrake. I've got the Oracle8i EE CD. I have followed the pre-installation steps of creating the groups, user and updating the .bash_profile file for "oracle" user with all the env. variables. After, I execute runInstaller from the CD, I get the Universal Installer Welcome screen. Mouse clicks on About Oracle and Remove Installed products work fine and show message/dialog boxes. But Mouse clicks on the Help, Exit, Installed Products AND "NEXT" button have no effect. The screen remain their without taking to the next step of installation !!!
I have to exit the Universal installer using the Closing icon on the Window (top right corner).
Also, I tried "ps -ef" on the prompt after execting runInstaller. It shows around 8-10 process running under installer. Is there any known bug/issue for installter working on Mandrake linux ?
Any help/comments/assistance....?
Thanks and advance.

Hi Lloyd,
I have a HP Pavilion/733MHz/128MRAM Box with Mandrake 7.1 and Win98 dual boot setup.
you mentioned that u were able to install Mandrake and Oracle on a Compaq box. Did you try re-installing Linux and Oracle on the HP box. I havent received any reply. I will try some Linux forum to raise this question.
Do let me know if you come across any solution/workaround...
Best Regards,

  • 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:
    SIGGEV received at bfffea90 in

  • Dbassist on Mandrake Linux 7

    I have installed 8i (using the Macmillan distribution) on Mandrake Linux 7 (based on Red Hat 6.1?).
    When running dbassist to create the database,
    as expected I get the JNLS error. However when I ignore it (by clicking OK), rather than it continuing, it then fails with a Null Pointer exception. I have tried both 1.1.6_v5 and 1.1.8_v1 releases of the JRE. Has anyone got a workaround for this?

    You do not have to use dbassist. See Section 3.7 of my help pages:

  • Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03 under Mandrake/Linux and Mozilla

    To determine if your browser can view applets, try
    viewing the "Cubic" applet on the following page..
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/display/Cubi
    .html
    You will notice that you can manipulate the pattern of
    the applet by dragging the colored squares. Thanks for the pointer - it does, indeed, work as expected.
    It's a bummer that the "sample applets" are screwy, as that seems like a good place to go to confirm that you have everything configured right (well, it DID seem like a good place to go - it seems quite a bit less good now).
    Thanks for the help,

  • Problem Installing oracle 9iAS in Mandrake Linux 8.1

    1.When iam trying to install Oracle 9iAS in Mandrake linux 8.1 iam getting the

    2.Does Orale 9iAS have Orace Database Server

    I don't really understand why you are using almost 6 years old distribution (release date 2002/09/30).
    What's the sense? Time has changed and of course SW included in this distro has changed (significantly) and especially glibc.
    10g R1 is certified for RH EL 2.1. When I compare version of packages (RH 8 vs RHEL 2.1) it could be possible (easily) to install on RH 8. For 10g R2 you need defintely upgrade at least glibc* packages.

    Hi johnny,
    You should first check the hosts file to see if the correct hostname and the IP address are shown. You can also check if the "hostname" command returns the correct result. If everything looks good so far, then next check if command "nslookup" returns the correct IP address. If the nslookup <hostname> command returns error, you will need to talk to the Domain Name Server (DNS) administrator to correct this network configuration problem.

  • Install fails for Creator on Mandrake Linux with AMD64

    I tried to install the new version of Creator update 1 on my Mandrake Linux 64 bit version and it fails to find my JVM.
    I'm able test my JVM by checking the version but it still fails.
    I tried the -is:javahome option ---- no difference.
    Tried installing the 32 bit version of JVM 1.5 update 7 does not make a difference with is option.
    The installation of pervious version of 2004 creator works fine.
    Any clue as to what might be the issue.
    Any assitance on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

    Can you post the install.log file under your installation directory? Also take a look at this page:

  • Oracle Install on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Dell Laptop 600)

    I have a full install of Oracle 10G running on a Dell Laptop using Mandrake Linux 9.1:
    First I did an install of the OS, I built the swap file to be 2GIGs, the /oracle partition as 5GIGS and the /home partition as 25GIGS.
    I made sure to choose the Development packages and the Office packages, I did not choose any of the WEB and other stuff.
    As root, edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
    kernel.shmall = 2097152
    kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
    kernel.shmmni = 4096
    kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
    fs.file-max = 65536
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
    As root, issue the following commands at a terminal:
    groupadd oinstall
    groupadd dba
    useradd –g oinstall –G dba oracle
    passwd oracle <supply new password>
    You then need to set up the new user’s environment variables. Edit the file /home/oracle/.bashrc and add the following between the “# User specific aliases and functions” and the “# Source global definitions” lines. In Mandrake Linux all I did was edit the /etc/profile file and add the below at the end. This way all users get the added. Works like a charm.
    ORACLE_SID=lx10g
    ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/10g
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
    export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME PATH
    You can choose what you like for the ORACLE_SID: it represents what you will eventually call your database.
    Make install directories, In my case, for example, I did this:
    mkdir /oracle
    mkdir /oracle/10g
    chown -R oracle:oinstall /oracle
    First when you try to run the Universal Installer do the following:
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs (this gets you by the error on the OS)
    Then just follow the normal screens and at the end you should have a complete system. There is a bug in the installer and you will need to re-run the ./runInstaller and selct just the ISQLPlus* and it will then only re-install this package. It seems it misses it during the initial install. I also suggest downloading the Compaign CD and installing the APACHE and HTMDB using the same as above when running the ./runInstaller as everything else is already setup.

  • Problem installing weblogic server 7.0 in Mandrake Linux 10.1

    hi
    i am very new to Mandrake Linux ..i have installed Mandrake Linux 10.1 in my machine ...the problem is that when i try i to install weblogic server 7.0 it gives some error
    ** Error during execution, error code = 11
    my machine spec
    * 512MB RAM
    * 40GB HDD
    * P4 2.8GHZ
    can any one help me..
    the weblogic server i downloaded from bea site its version is weblogic server 7.0 with jrockit (sp6)
    regards
    babu

    Hi,
    first of all, unfortunately, WebLogic Server is not supported under Mandrivia (use the right name ;-) ), so you should use Novell Suse or Redhat AS, check this list
    Anyway, error code 11 should be related to permission issues, so you should check that the user you are using is allowed to write under the installation directory and under /var/log/
    Could you kindly post the log messages?
    Regards.

  • Sun One / Win ME / Mandrake Linux

    Okay, this is driving me nuts. I am running Windows ME on one partition on my box. I used to have forte installed a while ago, btu for some reason I got rid of it. Now I am doing something that I would like to use it as a resource for and I come to find out it is Sun One now. SO I dl it and I go to install and teh installer freezes while looking for J2SDK. So I uninstalled J2SDK and dl the most recent version and reinstalled it. Still does the same thing.
    So here is my question: realizing that Sun one is not particularly supported on ME, is that what is causing the install to freeze? If not, do you know what the problem might be? And if Forte installed, why oh why wouldn't Sun One.
    If ME is the problem, I have Mandrake Linux on another partition (Yeah, I'd love Red Hat, but it was free and I am broke, so it seemed like a good idea) and it seems that only Red hat is supported. Should I bother downloading and trying to install on Mandrake (I use KDE btw)?

    Hi,
    I'm running on Mandrake 9.0 without any problems.
    There is one anoying issue and thet is that the icons deliverd is in .ico format and I can't figure out how to use them on KDE 3.0

  • DHCP from OS X to Mandrake Linux

    Hi,
    I have 2 networks, one using a Mandrake Linux ISC DHCP V3.03 Server and the other a Thomson SpeedTouch Router. If I connect any of my OS X machines to the SpeedTouch network they receive DHCP address. If I connect to the Linux Server network they always get an autoconfigure address. I can look at the Linux server log and I can see the DHCP server offering IP addresses to the OS X machine but the addresses are never acknowledged:
    Mar 30 00:21:22 gateway dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:93:ed:d9:96 (merlin) via eth1
    Mar 30 00:21:23 gateway dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.124 to 00:03:93:ed:d9:96 (merlin) via eth1
    Mar 30 00:21:30 gateway dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:93:ed:d9:96 (merlin) via eth1
    Mar 30 00:21:30 gateway dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.124 to 00:03:93:ed:d9:96 (merlin) via eth1
    Mar 30 00:21:32 gateway dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.66 from 00:03:93:ed:d9:96 via eth1: unknown lease 192.168.1.66.
    Everything else in my home from Tivo to CISCO IP phone to windows laptops to Squeezeboxes all happily get addresses from the Linux DHCP server.
    I can see discussions on earlier threads about similar problems but could not see a resolution.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    C.

    The Mandrake box is connected to another router on a separate ISP line. ETH1 is the only active network interface on the box ETH0 is disconnected. There is no IPTABLES on the Mandrake setup the firewall is handled by the router. DHCP server on router is disabled and Mandrake provides DHCP/DNS for the whole network.
    I modified the configuration slightly recently to make the DHCP server Authoritative for the network and to NACK addresses coming from the other network. When I switch from the ROUTER network to the Mandrake network I can now see a NACK being sent for the 192.168.1.64 address.
    In desperation I have set my MacBook to DHCP with Static IP address in Network setup and this seems to work, getting the gateway from the DHCP server.

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded from oracle site oracle 9i release 2 (9.2.0.4) linux and installed in red hat enterprise as 4. When started oem, I tried to find oracle expert but couldn't find it. Is oracle expert included in this vesion or not? If it isn't, is there any method to install it? Thank you very much.

    Zhang,
    I am getting ready to try installing 9i on FC2 x86_64. Did you need to do anything special to get it installed?

  • K7T TURBO2 (mandrake linux)

    OK running the K7T TURBO2 mobo in my system with a 800 MHZ Duron.I downloaded Mandrake Linux 9.1 and looking to install it.My question is.Does anyone know if this version of mandrake will have the drivers for this  board and say for the sound or are they out there for me to download.Linux newbie here so want to make sure when i install I do it right the first time.Thank You

    Hi,
    I think that it should be no problem to run Linux with a Turbo2. I think I would wait a few weeks until 9.2 is freely available, btw  
    You will probably find more information at:
    http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/
    or

    Hope this helps,
