Amazingly simple and straight forward. Followed it on Ubuntu 11.04, and I got no problems. Its just great!

Hi Vanthang,

It seems that you have problems with your tnsnames.ora. I would suggested you try with sqldeveloper first, and if it works try to translate your connection parameters to your tnsnames.ora.

Hope it helps,

Luis

Thanks a lot. I have installed oracle xe server. but I was not getting to configure.
Your Q. Answer helped me to configure oracle server on my Ubuntu 11.04 LTS.
deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free this string I directly edit thru synaptical package manager.

I was getting swap space problem which I resolved through gparted application.

Thank once again.

I followed the instructions and Oracle-XE installed Ubuntu 11.04 okay.

Typing in the url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex

brought me to the Oracle XE home page and I could logon to the system fine.

Thank you for a simple solution.

Dear all,
Thank you very much for the nice guide. Can anyone please advice me as to how i should go about accessing the oracle-xe db that I just installed on my ubuntu 10.04 notebook via sqlplus? I have successfully installed the “oracle-xe 10g server” and client” and I can access the admin page from the browser. (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex)

However when I try to say sqlplus on the shell it gives me this:
“error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

I have set the paths and variables right Im sure, but I just cant connect with sqlpolus.

Please help gentlemen I know nothing about oracle.

I installed on Lucid and one thing I have to do which I can’t find mentioned in any how-to’s or tutorials is to be logged in as “oracle” which is created during the install. If I want to connect through terminal I have to first do “su oracle”. Otherwise the normal “sqlplus sys as sysdba” doesn’t work. Even after adding my user to the dba group I still have to be logged in as “oracle” to use sqlplus.

Is this something new in the Lucid install? Is there a way to make it where my user account can log into it without “su oracle”?

Thanks anyone who answers this.

Hi folks!

Does anyone know if there is an Oracle XE version for 64-bit Ubuntu? I noticed that the repository “deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free” doesn’t work on 64-bit Ubuntu.

ORACLE XE + Ubuntu best development environment ever, not for everyone but if you master it, it rocks.

I just installed the Ubuntu 9.10 and then installed Oracle 10 Express and all went fine. I can access oracle on 127.0.0.1:8080/apex address however when I try to access the server on it’s external ip address (192.168.1.14) even when I’m on my Ubuntu machine it’s failing.
I’m new to Linux so I’m sure this should be silly and simple issue but I can’t find a way around it. I need this so I can access the oracle server from outside world (other nodes on the network)
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
Very straightforward on Ubuntu Karmic, I am able to use the database immediately after this.
And it saves me from registering on the Oracle website!
We might even get updates :-)
