Xinetd is not a service on oracle enterprise linux release 5 any longer?

thx~

I do not think so.did you install the package, xinetd-2.3.14-10.el5.i386.rpm?
# rpm -qlip xinetd-2.3.14-10.el5.i386.rpm
Summary : A secure replacement for inetd.
Description :
Xinetd is a secure replacement for inetd, the Internet services
daemon. Xinetd provides access control for all services based on the
address of the remote host and/or on time of access and can prevent
denial-of-access attacks. Xinetd provides extensive logging, has no
limit on the number of server arguments, and lets you bind specific
services to specific IP addresses on your host machine. Each service
has its own specific configuration file for Xinetd; the files are
located in the /etc/xinetd.d directory.

ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET dbstart error Oracle Enterprise Linux

ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET dbstart error Oracle Enterprise Linux
Hallo!I am a newbie in Oracle 10g having installed Oracle 10g in Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7.
I am trying to automate the startup of the Listener,Database,Enterprise Manager and isqlplus during boot.
I have tried running the dbstart script but an error resulted.After research,I found out that I am supposed to edit line 78 of the dbstart script from
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=/ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle
To
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=$ORACLE_HOME
Even after this,when I run the dbstart script,I receive the error below.
[root@joey-oel ~]# cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/bin/
[root@joey-oel bin]# ./dbstart
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET, unable to auto-start Oracle Net Listener

Configure dial-up connection in Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11

Hallo!I have just finished installing Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11 so that I can set up Oracle 10g on this Linux platform.
But first I need to set up a few configurations e.g enable my OEL connect to the internet via a dial-up modem.
I have used my modem successfully on openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.04 but I am unable to use it on OEL.
My ubuntu configurations are as follows
Connection Name:ZAIN
Number:*99#
APN:ke.celtel.com
How do I set up dial-up in OEL using the settings above?
Also,simple commands to restart the OEL such as shutdown -r now are not being found when I type them in the terminal.How can this be so?
Thanks.

Use wvdial to dial out using the modem, authenticate, and have it launch the pppd daemon for creating an IP connection via the modem.
If you want to configure manually, you will need to edit the files pap-secrets and chap-sercrets in +/etc/ppp+. Then you also need a unique config file for your connection defined in the +/etc/ppp/peers+ directory.
These files are fairly simple to edit. The secret files contains your ISP authentication details. The peers file the phone number and account name (from the secret files) to use. wvdialconf should configure this accordingly though.
There's lot of details available on the web - suggest you google.

This looks like a follow up of Re: Error after installing Oracle Enterprise Linux (Release 5) on Dell T 110
Can you give more details what you are trying to do or trying to accomplish. Where are you trying to ping to?
It could be that you have not defined your gateway or DNS server for name to IP mapping. What is the output of
# netstat -rn
# cat /etc/resolv.conf

Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi.
Has anyone had success in installing oracle 9iR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux release 5? I found some sites such as http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
and http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/files/oracle9r2installonrh9.txt. I followed these but since they are not specific to oracle enterprise linux installs, i think there is stuff missing. I loaded all the libraries they reccommended, but when i run the installer, i get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.ewt.lwAWT.BufferedFrame not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader
Can someone assist?

That's right. OEL5 has to be verified against the supported versions and workarounds and or patches will be released by Oracle so these issues can be solved. In the mean time, OEL4 has to be used.

Sound not working in Sanray server 5.1 in Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6

Hi,
I am trying to get the sound working in a sunray server running in linux. I probe that the $AUDIODEV is working fine with the following command:
# /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav > $AUDIODEV
But no application seems to use that device, I also verify the LD_PRELOAD variable and is OK.
I have been searching in the web and it seems to be a issue with the ALSA and OSS. The Linux environment use ALSA and everything is configure to use ALSA, but Sunray server use OSS and that is the pr oblem..... I found that it may be solved recompiling a esound RPM to disable ALSA and to enable OSS but I do not know how to do that in Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Does anyone knows about this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Marco

I don't know if this will help but I'm posting it anyways, because it worked for me.
I called into apple support and explained my problem.
First thing he had me do was shut down my computer, unplug everything, take the battery out (i have a macbook pro) then with the battery out hold down the power button for "5 to 8 seconds".
After that I put the battery back in, plug the power cord and the tablet in, turn on the computer...
tablet still doesn't work right, but that's not to say that didn't help.
So I go to the applications folder, go to the pen tablet folder, and open up the file "Remove Pen Tablet".
First I do "Remove all Preference files"
than I do "Remove Tablet Software"
I restart my computer, open up the wacom driver that I downloaded from wacom's website. run the installation. And now my tablet is working just like it should.
I don't know if I'll have the problem where I'm going to have to reinstall the driver after every reboot, but as of now it's good.
For that first step I don't know what it's called, something like power rebooting or something, i only know how to do it for my computer not a desktop or anything
hope that helps

In Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) not able to redirect pvscan output.

Hi,
I'm not able to redirect output of ovscan and vgscan commands to a file in Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Please suggest something.
Thanks
Mayank

Thanks Paul for your valuable replies.
Well i'm using OEL 5.1(Oracle Enterprise Linux) 32 bit version.
The commands i used were:
# pvscan 1>output.txt 2>&1
# vgscan 1>output.txt 2>&1
In both cases output.txt remains blank.But when I ran command
# ls 1>output.txt 2>&1
output.txt has list of files in it.
Also in case of RHEL (Redhat Enterprise Linux), for both commands vgscan and pvscan output is getting redirected to the output.txt
So the problem is with OEL only. Please suggest something.

Installation of Oracle Failed on Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Hi All,
I have installed Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit) provided by oracle e-delivery on my Vmware Virtaul machine.When i try to install Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86,after running the runInstaller i am getting the following error.
[oracle@vmware database]$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Note:Oracle E-Delivery has provided 5 CD's to downlaod for Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit).But the installation of LINUX finished succesfully with 3 CD's only.I donot have any idea for what purpose the remaining CD's 4 and 5.Do i need to install CD's 4 and 5 seperately.Is this the problem for orcle DB installation failure or is there any exclusive database which i need download for Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit).
Any help in this issue is highly appreciated.
Thank You Very Much.

I am also getting the same error as a previous poster:

I downloaded and installed Oracle EL5 (64 bit). I have a Network-level support, so I ran the up2date and picked up all the updates and installed them. My company is a licensee of 10g, so I downloaded 64bit 10g, and ungzip-uncpio'd it into a work directory. When I try to install it, it blows up at the above point.
In reading the above comments, I rpm'd libXp and libaio, but this does not change the failure of runInstaller.
Any hints?

I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

Xinetd is not a service on oracle enterprise linux release 5 any longer?
