Sqlplus problem, can't connect

Question

Ok, so I managed to finally install Oracle 11g R1 on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux_64.
I can successfully connect over the URL https://IP:1158/em
I unlocked the HR example account with it's tables and gave it a new password. When I type sqlplus from command line, it starts and then I uter HR for user and it's password and I get that error...
As far as I am aware Oracle is running, what could be wrong ?
I am running a dual-cpu AMD64 2.2 each with 4GB ram.
