Problems installing Oracle Database Express Edition 11g

Question

I\'m trying to install Oracle Database in (X)ubuntu 13.04 64-bit using this guide. Everything goed well until I get to the following step:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ora         


        

Answer 1

nano /etc/init.d/oracle-shm

add text

#! /bin/sh 
# /etc/init.d/oracle-shm 
# 
case "$1" in 
start) 
echo "Starting script /etc/init.d/oracle-shm" 
# Run only once at system startup  
if [ -e /dev/shm/.oracle-shm ]; then 
echo "/dev/shm is already mounted, nothing to do" 
else 
rm -f /dev/shm 
mkdir /dev/shm 
mount --move /run/shm /dev/shm 
mount -B /dev/shm /run/shm 
touch /dev/shm/.oracle-shm 
fi 
;; 
stop) 
echo "Stopping script /etc/init.d/oracle-shm" 
echo "Nothing to do" 
;; 
*) 
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/oracle-shm {start|stop}" 
exit 1 
;; 
esac

# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog 
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 
# Short-Description: Bind /run/shm to /dev/shm at system startup. 
# Description: Fix to allow Oracle 11g use AMM. 
### END INIT INFO

make the file executable

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/oracle-shm
/etc/init.d/oracle-shm start

At this stage reboot, then check

df -kh /dev/shm

further proceed to emulate chkconfig and continue with rest of configuration and install

dpkg -i oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.deb

Check the environment variables and ORACLE_HOME and start database
