Rpm for telnet utility on oracle linux 5.7

Hi,
I new to oracle linux , and i have two questions:
1) I have an oracle linux installed on one of our servers. I think its version 5.7 but i am not 100% sure.
I run cat/etc/issue but it doest report the oracle linux version. How can i found out which version installed on this server ?
2) I need to install rpm for telnet. From where i can download only the required telnet rpm for verion 5.7 ?
Thanks

1) The following should help:
http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/027626.pdf
2) Telnet has been replaced by SSH, similar to FTP, for serious security reasons.
The Telnet client is normally installed by default. To install the client and server, the following should work:
<pre>
yum install telnet telnet-server
</pre>
To setup access to Oracle Public yum, see this link: http://public-yum.oracle.com/

Installing codecs for mpeg-3 on Oracle Linux 6.4

Hi,
I am trying to install the required codecs for mpeg-3 on my Oracle 6.4 Linux box, with no success. I found the discussion from August 2011 Re: How to install media codecs in OL6 U1 on how to do this and have followed the instructions, (I had to substitute the fedora rpm for a more up to date one as the original is no longer available at that url). However, after doing this I am still unable to install mpg321. Do these instructions just need updating or is there something more fundamental wrong with my system?
Best Regards and thanks in advance for any help

Are you trying to play back video or only audio. Anyway, perhaps your best option is VLC VideoLan. It is also available from Repo(rpm)forge.
So perhaps just try the following:
yum install vlc
It will install quite a bunch of libraries, inluding ffmpeg and lame, etc. from the OL6 and RPMforge repository.
# yum info vlc

Oracle Linux versioning

Hi Avi, i'm quiet confuse if the release and distributions:
uname -a on my server show me 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek, that mean that it's a Entreprise Linux 5 ?
what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?
I just go to edelivery and found theses download :
1) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit)     V37084-01     3.5G
2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197M
3) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 UEK Boot ISO image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37090-01     196M
4) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 1     V37086-01     3.1G
5) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 2     V37087-01     1.9G
If I build a server with the 1) what will be the result of a uname -a ?
What the purpose of the number 2 and 3 ?
So many questions ....

what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.There is no OEL, just OL. :) Oracle Linux 5 (OL5) and Oracle Linux 6 (OL6) are completely different major versions of Oracle Linux. Each of those has two kernels, the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) or the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK).
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?Yes.

1) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit)     V37084-01     3.5GThis is the complete install DVD, which includes both the RHCK and UEK as well as most of the packages available for OL6.
2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197MThis is a small bootable image that uses the RHCK during install but only contains the installation program, but none of the packages.

How to see new disk in oracle linux 5

Dear,
i am using oracle VM and created 2 guest OS (both Olx5) i also created a shared disk and assigned to both linux servers.
question: how can i see the disk in each server. using fdisk -l it just shown the one there before.
in HPUX we have ioscan to detect new devices. is there away to check for new disk in oracle linux.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

fdisk -l shows only existing partitions. So if your new disk has not partition created it will be not shown in the output.
AFAIK there is not such command which will list all devices but there are several ways how to find the devices. All informations you can find in /proc directory (fdisk -l reads /proc/partitions when device is not passed as argument).
You can find devices (local disks) for example using following commands (hope it helps):
cat /var/log/dmesg |egrep 'sd[a-z]: s|hd[a-z]: h'
cat /proc/diskstats |egrep -v 'ram|fd'|awk {'print $3'}

5) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 2     V37087-01     1.9G
I see DVD1 & DVD2 thought this will be having the complete installation but after i download and write these ISO files to DVD's
DVD is not bootable.
which one to use for download and install.

Oracle Linux is licensed under GPL and requires that the source code is freely available. The source DVD's contain the source code packages and not the OS installation media. All you need to start up and install Oracle Linux on your computer from DVD in your example is number 1.

Installing Oracle Linux 6 For 11g

I'm downloading Oracle Linux 6,2 64-bit with the single intention to simply install Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition and I've never used or installed Oracle Linux before. I know that in order to install Oracle 11g database, I will need to have some kind of graphic utility like X but I do not need a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE (which is not permitted on servers per company policy). Can someone tell me what exactly or which specific options I will need to minimally install Oracle database 11g? I don't want to install the entire DVD content to my server but rather know what packages are required and ONLY install those. I don't know if the Linux installer has a fairly self explanatory / easy to use options based on me using this system as a database server but if anyone can please help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sorry everyone but I've retured back from vacation to focus back on getting Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 installed on Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit. I've got the O.S. up and I thought I selected all the correct / required packages to perform the standard installation using the Universal Installer but it's not working for some reason. I'm unable to forward my 'xclock' session from the database server host to my workstation (Ubuntu 12.04 Linux). When I open a terminal window on my Ubuntu Linux machine and type 'xclock', the application opens w/o any issues. When I SSH into my Oracle database server and attempt to forward the X11 session over to my machine, I get:
carlos@ghost:~$ ssh -x carlos@oracledb
carlos@oracledb's password:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ logout
Connection to oracledb closed.I obviously have the application 'xclock' and all required dependencies installed but for some reason it doesn't forward from my Oracle server to my workstation so that I can start the installation...

Rapidwiz fails on database step for 12.1.1 on Oracle Linux 5.7

I am trying to install Oracle EBS 12.1.1 on Oracle Linux 5.7 64 bit platform.
The issue is that after I followed the requirements including set kernel parameters by using the oracle-validated RPM package, the install fails on database creation step.

If you are running the one in (RDA 4 - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide [ID 250262.1]), then I believe it is only available for "Linux-x86 Platforms" (32-bit).
2) I notice issue with DNS configuration:
[root@ebsdb01 rda]# nslookup 122.2.2.2
Server: 122.2.2.2
Address: 122.2.2.22#5
** server can't find .in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAINThis is a network issue, please check with your network admins/team.
3)
So this leads me to my next question, when I use nslookup to search the domain on the DNS server for the host, it resolves successfully. BUT, when I run nslookup against the IP address
it cannot find it in DNS. Would this be the root cause of why my installation keeps failing? I have verified checksums and software is fine. I am still missing a couple RPMs but do not believe this is what causing the install to fail yet in light of the network connection errors that Rapidwiz keeps throwing at me.All network files/settings can be found in (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 [ID 761566.1]).

Oracle Linux 6.1 asm packages - oracleasm and oracleasmlib for OEL 6.1 ???

Hello everyone
I am not ULN subscriber, I am trying to learn Oracle ASM/RAC at work.
I am running OEL 6.1 (uname -rm output is: 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64)
I am looking for two ASM support libraries which are compatible with above Oracle Linux 6.1 X64
Specifically this article refers to 2 packages I need for ASM support:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php
•oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- I need this one
•oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- this package is now already installed on OEL 6.1 so I dont need this one for OEL 6.1
•oracleasm-2.6.18-164.el5-2.0.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- I need this one
Can anyone direct me to a download link for the above two packages? Even if its from RHEL6.1 as long as it works?
Or does it mean that I must pay Oracle in order to be able to get these packages in order to learn ASM at home ??
Why would Oracle allow us to use their RDBMS/RAC/ASM/Linux software at home learning for free and not supply the above two packages??
thanks

Or does it mean that I must pay Oracle in order to be able to get these packages in order to learn ASM at home ??
Why would Oracle allow us to use their RDBMS/RAC/ASM/Linux software at home learning for free and not supply the above two packages??If you want to use ASM for free, install Oracle Linux 5 Update 7 and download the RHEL5 oracleasmlib package from here:

Keep in mind that Database is NOT certified on Oracle Linux 6 anyway, so it is challenging to install. The very article you link to uses Oracle Linux 5. It also links to these very same RPMs. If you follow the article more carefully, you won't have any issues.

CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169 Patch Availability Document for Oracle Linux

Hi,
Can you suggest from where we need to download bash rpm for OEL 6 :-
bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
bash-doc-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
Thanks in Advance !!

First see the document I linked about creating a local yum mirror (How to Create a Local Yum Repository for Oracle Linux). I very strongly recommend setting this up so your systems can get other updates besides bash.
The individual RPMs can be found at Index of /repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/ -- but I cannot stress the importance of updating entire systems rather than just bash. If you are not updating your systems periodically, bash is just one of your worries (as you're undoubtedly vulnerable to hundreds of other exploits in other packages besides Shellshock). Please set up an update repository and use it.
Patching only the vulnerabilities you see in the news is equivalent to locking your home's front door, but leaving the security alarm disconnected and the back door held open with a doorstop. You need all the updates, not just bash.

How do you recompile the kernel for oracle linux 6.3

Hello,
I have installed Oracle linux 6.3 default settings on x86_64 bit pc
I have some questions:
1. What public yum repositories contain the oracle linux 6.3 kernel source code ?
2. Is the oracle linux 6.3 kernel source code on OracleLinux-R6-U3-src-dvd1.iso or OracleLinux-R6-U3-src-dvd2.iso , can I use this to recompile a new kernel ?
3. Do you have the steps/commands needed to set options and compile a installable kernel[rpm] on oracle linux 6.3 x86_64.
4. What gui tools are available in the desktop to manage settings e.g sound/volume or to install additional gui utilities.
5. Is there some documentation help on using the oracle linux desktop ?. If so where is it located .
Thankyou
Glenn

https://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS/
https://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS-updates/
And our git repositories are here:
https://oss.oracle.com/git/
The default kernel in OL6.3 is here:
https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=linux-uek-2.6.39.git;a=summary
2. Is the oracle linux 6.3 kernel source code on OracleLinux-R6-U3-src-dvd1.iso or OracleLinux-R6-U3-src-dvd2.iso , can I use this to recompile a new kernel ?Actually, I have no idea which DVD the source code is on.
3. Do you have the steps/commands needed to set options and compile a installable kernel[rpm] on oracle linux 6.3 x86_64.No, you'd need to decide that for yourself. The kernel source is complex and can be very tricky to recompile.
4. What gui tools are available in the desktop to manage settings e.g sound/volume or to install additional gui utilities.Wow, topic shift. GNOME Control Center manages settings and installing new utilities is done by Pirut.
5. Is there some documentation help on using the oracle linux desktop ?. If so where is it located .Oracle Linux isn't intended to be used as a desktop. All the documentation is here:
https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/

They have installed the wrong Linux distro on that desktop.
A server o/s does not provide default support for desktop h/w (like webcams, touchpads, latest video chipsets, etc). Instead, it provides support for server h/w and server environments.
What you should be looking at is Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 (see http://www.ubuntu.com/). It is arguably the best Linux desktop distro. I have been using it for over 10 years now doing development and support. Prior to that I used Fedora, but it never did provide a smooth install and out-of-the-box driver support for desktop h/w. And I doubt that this has changed to be better than what Ubuntu supports and provides.
If you do use Ubuntu, consider the 64bit version if your are developing s/w for 64bit Linux - makes development and deployment easier as there are some differences between the 32bit and 64bit kernels.
You will also be able to install 64bit Oracle XE on your desktop (if you do get to that stage and need assistance in getting the XE Redhat RPM installed, post a message on the database general questions forum).
