Wrong Terminal Param, 8.1.6, Linux RH6.2

Hi I've successfully installed and have been using 8.1.6, except that I seem to have the wrong terminal driver (it does not accept backspaces, or any other special chars (return is ok). How can I fix this ?
Thanks, Bill.

I had same problem. Solution was simple for me. I was new. Here it is.
Open a terminal window and try these commands.
echo $ORACLE_HOME
echo $ORACLE_SID
echo $PATH.
I suspect the first two variables are empty and the PATH has no reference to the Oracle home directory. the Path variable is like Path in DOS. It must be pointing to directories you and other applications will be looking in but not actually going into.
Depending on weather you are using a c shell or a bash ( I am still learning) the commands are similar for setting these environments. I will give you what I use.
Please make changes for your own system
I placed these changes in my .bashrc file (SuSE Linux) for each user I was logging in as under linux. In your system it me be needed in the .profile file instead. These files are hidden files located in the home directory for each created linux user.
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/OraHome1
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=scott
export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export PATH
Place these at the end. I found that my .profile file called scripts that changed my PATH variable after I set it. So be sure that PATH is at least next to last variable set in your file.
Now you will be very very happy.
If you want, you can test these entries in a terminal window and then run svrmgrl or sqlplus. In 8.1.6 sqlplus can start up instances also.
Please remember that is you make these entries in a terminal window they wil exist only for that window and not for any other windows. If you close the window the variable deffinitions are gone and if you open another window the variables are not defined in that window.

    Hi Everyone,

    2) The WebLogic jDriver for Oracle doesn't exist for Linux RH6.2. The only
    option available is to use the Oracle native (oci) driver or the oracle thin
    driver.
    Correct. Our native Oracle driver uses Oracle's OCI libraries. Last I
    heard, the Oracle OCI libs were pretty buggy on Linux.

  • Terminal Keyboard features for a Linux based Server System

    Hi Forum,
    there are some highlighted characters within terminal functions at a linux server (redhat or suse or ...) With Putty or a linux connection I get the special keys that are highlighted to work with the "alt" key pressed. Example is the terminal button "ok" with the "o" highlighted. If I press "alt"+"o" it would be choosen and the next page will be shown. Is there a way to make this work on a MacOSX Terminal? I had no chance to find anything similar with google. I hope you might find a solution!
    Thank you and best regards,

    I have installed Oracle8i on redhat 6.0. It works fine.

    You'll have to be prepared to wade through and understand the Linux way of recompiling your kernel. The files can be located using the "find" command. There is some great "HOW-TO"s in the Linux RedHat site.
    Tip: Be very careful how you answer the "make config" questions because it can mess up the resulting VMLINUZ object. Also, be sure to place secondary entry in your "lilo.conf" to allow you a graceful way of getting back to the old kernel should the new one fail.
    Good Luck!

  • Link speeds showing wrong, terminal command needed...

    Hi, I have what is either a bug in 10.4.10 on my Mac Pro, or something else wrong.
    In the Network Utility, my Ethernet (en0 and en1) both show incorrectly as 10Mb links.
    They should be, and are, 1Gb.
    Plugging my MBP into the ports shows this as true, as does my Fluke meter.
    So...is there a way to show this info in the terminal to see if it's a GUI mistake or other issue?
    I don't know if that's the only way - or even a good way to test, so if anyone has better ideas, I'm all ears.
    I'm concerned as I just had a new logic board installed, and don't know if it's faulty.
    Scott

    We are experiencing the same issue on every Mac Pro that we have and they are all running 10.4.10. (We just received 25 for campus and more are on the way). It happens booted to a netboot image as well as a production OS.
    To answer your question, you can open terminal and type:
    ifconfig en0 | grep media
    or en1 if you are using the seond nic card. Next to media you will probably see autoselect (10baseT/UTP).
    you can change the link speed from here that will work as long as the machine isn't restarted by typing:
    sudo ifconfig en0 media 1000BaseT
    to force the speed to gigabit or you can change it in System Preferences.
    Obviously annoying and can be a time waster, especially if you are dropping an 8 GB image on a machine and it should take 15 minutes and it takes over 2 hours! Hope we get an answer soon.

  • Installed 816 With Wrong Terminal Driver

    I installed 8.1.6 on Rh6.2 some weeks ago and it works fine, except that I set the terminal parameter incorrectly, and must now type everying into sqlplus without error since none of the control keys except return are recognized. So far I have not found a way to fix this. If someone could steer me to the documentation or offer a solution that would be great. Thanks. I use the gnome desktop most of the time.

    Well the driver date is clearly labeled 2002, which ought to have raised a little curiosity or suspicion by any observant person.
    You are totally right also. But that date is refered clearly to the OS stated in the info (OS: Win2000/XP)... so could be the case that by some reason they forgot to clarify the different version for "the 1 released" for Vista.
    In addition, as u can check in a glance, the size of both files is different, which could lead to reinforce my previous theory (they forgot to clarify the driver version for the 1 released for Vista).
    Quote from: tcsenter on 02-March-07, 08:18:53
    There is no IDE driver available that is newer than the one already included in Vista for your SIS chipset.
    Yea unfortunately, I discovered that after damaging my OS. But fortunately I had backed up the OS (by creating an image).
    I mainly created this thread for saving other's people work/life/files ... since I was already saved!

  • Where to download OAS9i V1.0.2.2 for Linux RedHat RH6.2(kernel 2.2.16 or later) use?

    So that we may better diagnose problems, please provide the following information.
    - Server name:linux1

    - Browser + Version: Netscape 6
    - O/S + Version: Linux RedHat 6.2 (Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3)
    - Error Msg
    I am a member of OTN, and I tried to download and test OAS9i for my platform - Linux RedHat 6.2(Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3), and I tried to find the related OAS9i product for Linux use from your site "Oracle9iAS Download Options", but I got a confused about those items, I found v1.0.2.2.1 OAS9i image *.cp file there, but there installation guide itself shows that it is for V1.0.2.2 use,that is for Intel Linux use(Kernel 2.2.14 or later, glibc 2.1.3), however, the image *.cp file which could be downloaded is V1.0.2.2.1, is for Intel RH7.1 Linux use(Kernel 2.4.3-12, glibc 2.2.2-10).
    So that's very strange, and I want to know that where can I download the *.cp files for Intel Linux RH6.2 use(Kernel 2.2.19 or later, glibc 2.1.3), my platform is RH6.2 because I heart that Intel Linux RedHat's version over 6.2 doesn't be certificated by ORACLE, so I always use Intel RedHat 6.2 as my basic platform, so who can tell me where to download the imgae *.cp files for my platform use? Or any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Linux Terminal Window

    Hi,
    I have not much experience with Oracle Linux 6. I am using vncviewer and xmanager for remote desktop session to connect with oracle linux.
    I executed weblogic startup script in terminal window. After disconnecting from session & re connecting, I did not found terminal window in taskbar.
    How can I restore terminal window or keep visible in each session ?
    Oracle Linux 6.3
    Kernel 2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64
    GNOME 2.28.2

    When you open a terminal session to your remote Linux server using X manager,  any remote X application executes on the X server that runs on you PC. If you close the connection you loose the session. Sessions cannot be resumed.
    VNC is similar to Remote Desktop, where only the screen display is shown on your PC, but all execution and display is happening on the remote Linux X server.  You can disconnect and reconnect to an existing session that runs on your Linux server.
    So what are you using?

  • Satellite A100-1k7:Need Atheros 5007eg driver for Ubuntu 7.10 Linux

    Hi
    I'm the proud owner of an A100-1k7 laptop upgraded to a total of 2Gb Ram.
    I tried to install my new discovery, Ubuntu 7.10 onto it. I succeeded of course:)
    However I do have on issue which I can't figure out myself.
    My wifi adapter is not running. It's one of those atheros 5007eg's.
    I tried to find a driver but couldn't find one.
    Madwifi doesn't support it yet and ndiswrapper, well that's a bit out of my league I suppose.
    I tried different tutorials but all of them didn't work for me.
    I got this far:
    When i give ndiswrapper the driver install command (i'm using a winxp 32bit driver) it shouts driver already installed.
    But when i try to see if it works i get the message wrong driver.
    Could anyone please give me a good working tutorial on how to install drivers for this wifi adapter?
    And please bare in mind i'm an absolute new regarding linux based operating systems.... so a tutorial which i could simply copy and paste into my terminal would be a gift of the gods to me:)
    Please forgive me for my poor English since it is not my native language.
    Kind regards,

    Hello Martyna
    >because it's not good answer that Linux is not recommended for Toshiba.
    In my opinion you have misunderstand something here. I really do not know where you have founded info that Linux is not recommended for Toshiba notebooks. Believe me it is definitely wrong. There are many different Linux distributions and versions that you can use with Toshiba notebooks.
    I see there just one problem and it is official Linux support. As you know Toshiba does not support Linux and at the moment you are on your own. Linux OS is very popular and I hope that more and more notebook manufacturers will start with official Linux support.
    Bye and good luck!

  • Set $PATH for current session in Terminal

    Hello,
    I want to modify the environment variable $PATH for the current terminal session. To modify it in $HOME/.profile (etc) is no option.
    So I created a shell script called envsetup.sh which contains
    ATLAS_HOME=/Applications/Development/atl-plugin-sdk
    PATH=$ATLAS_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export ATLAS_HOME PATH
    When I execute the script, $PATH will only modified while running the script but does not alter it for the current session. But then I copy and paste it into the terminal, $PATH gets modified for the current session. What's wrong with it? On my Linux box, it works ...

    Linux box, it works ...
    This CANNOT work on your Linux box.
    When you run a shell script (Mac OS X, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX, AIX, etc...), the shell script is runs in a child process. Any environment variables set or changed in that child process get destroyed when that child process ends, which happens as soon as the script ends. The parent process (your shell) will never see those child process environment variables. This has been true since the earliest versions of UNIX that I am aware of, and that goes back to at least '79.
    Alternative approaches. You could create a shell function in your .profile
    envsetup()
    export ATLAS_HOME="/Applications/Development/atl-plugin-sdk"
    export PATH="$ATLAS_HOME/bin:$PATH"
    The next time you login, your .profile will run and you will have a new command "envsetup". When you invoke the command envsetup it will run within the context of your current shell, so those environment variables will be set and visible.
    You could also create an alias that sources your envsetup.sh
    alias envsetup 'source /path/to/envsetup.sh'
    This would give you an easy to call command that would source into the current shell the export commands, as well as provide you with a script that can be sourced into other scripts that happen to need those specific exports.

  • Resize partition using terminal - error:

    I am trying to resize my osx partition so i can implement a triple boot. I have an 80gb drive in my macbook - osx uses 43.57GB out of 60GB and xp 20GB GB. I attempted to use this code in terminal:
    diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 56G "Linux" "Linux" 14G
    then it says:
    verifying
    Resizing encountered error The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972) on disk0s2 Macintosh HD
    how should i attempt this? is my code correct?

    i took a look, and i believe that the program behind diskutil is hdiutil.
    please correct me if im wrong.
    in the terminal i typed
    man hdiutil
    and found resize as a command there:
    *resize size_spec image*
    Given a read/write partitioned UDIF, if the last partition is
    Apple_HFS, attempt to resize the partition to the end of the
    image, or to the last used block in the embedded HFS/HFS+
    filesystem (depending on size_spec). resize is often used when
    a device image needs to be shrunken so that the HFS/HFS+ par-
    tition can be converted to CD-R/DVD-R format and still be
    burned. Note that gaps cannot be reclaimed as resize does not
    move data. -fsargs can sometimes be used to minimize filesys-
    tem-generated gaps. resize can also be used to grow a
    filesystem and image without bound.
    hdiutil burn does not burn Apple_Free partitions at the end of
    the devices, so an image with a resized filesystem can be
    burned to create a CD-R/DVD-R master that contains only the
    actual data in the hosted filesystem (assuming minimal data
    fragmentation).
    Common options: -encryption, -stdinpass, -srcimagekey, -shadow
    with friends, and -plist.
    Size specifiers:
    -size ??b|??k|??m|??g|??t??p|??e
    -sectors sector_count | min | max
    Specify the number of 512 byte sectors to
    which the partition should be resized. If
    this falls outside the min/max values, an
    error will be returned and the partition will
    not be resized. min automatically determines
    the smallest size the partition can be
    resized to and uses that value. max automat-
    ically determines the largest size to which
    the partition can be grown and then uses that
    value.
    Other options:
    -imageonly only resize the image file, not the parti-
    tion(s) inside of it. This is the default
    for UDIF images (more partitions can then be
    added in the new free space).
    -partitiononly only resize the partition(s) in the image
    (including their embedded filesystems). This
    is the default for NDIF images. For a newly-
    created SPUD where the partition fills the
    image, the partition can only be shrunk. If
    there is an Apple_Free partition after an
    existing partition, that partition can be
    expanded into the space marked by the
    Apple_Free. Shrinking a partition results in
    a larger Apple_Free partition.
    -partitionNumber partitionNumber
    specifies which partition to resize (UDIF
    only -- see HISTORY below). partitionNumber
    is 0-based, but, per hdiutil pmap, partition
    0 is the partition map itself.
    -growonly only allow the image to grow
    -shrinkonly only allow the image to shrink
    -nofinalgap allow resize to entirely eliminate the trail-
    ing free partition. Such an image restored
    to a hard drive will not boot OS 9 nor will
    it allow OS X to boot on old-world (beige)
    machines.
    -limits Displays the minimum, current, and maximum
    sizes (in 512 byte sectors) that could be
    passed given possible -imageonly or
    -partitiononly flags. Does not modify the
    image.
    -oldlimits behaves like -limits except that it reports
    the stretch sizes that OS X version 10.3
    would have reported (useful if an image needs
    to be used with asr(8) on an older system).
