help to install Oracle XE in suse 10.2

[vikram.jagan]

I have a Hp DV6000z laptop with the following config

AMD turion TL56 1.8GHz
2GB DDR ram
Nvidia Geforce Go7200 (256 MB)
a/b/g wireless with bluetooth
built in webcam

I had vista pre configured in my laptop.

I used Vista Boot pro to resize the partition.
I allocated 40GB hdd space for linux.

I installed Suse 10.2 and the OS works fine.

I wanted to install Oracle XE (Oracle 10g express edition) in my suse linux.
I was able to install Oracle XE in my vista, and it runs good.


#############I follwed the steps to install the rpm for oracle XE###

I logged in as root.

I downloaded the rpm for oracle XE from oracle website

i ran this command

rpm -ivh downloads/oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

then i ran the command for configuring

$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
gave the default settings(i.e port 8080 , password etc..

then I went to

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin


and from there ran the script file

. ./oracle_env.sh



the instruction says....

##
You may also want edit your login or profile files so that these environment variables are set properly each time you log in or open a new shell.

For Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell, enter the following line into the .bash_profile (to log in) or .bashrc file (to open a new shell):

. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh


For C or tcsh shell, enter the following line into the .login file (to log in) or .cshrc file (to open a new shell):

source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.csh

Where do I find the .bash_profile file in suse 10.2?

is this the final step to start working on my database...?

has anyone worked on this before?

Where do I find the .bash_profile file in suse 10.2?

is this the final step to start working on my database...?

.bash_profile and .bashrc files are in user's home folder. open user's home folder and click on View -- Show hidden Files OR 'ls -a' in terminal.
i dont know if its a final step but add that line in both files and check if it works.

You can find the database creation logs in $ORACLE_HOME/config/log/*.
I cant find this path in my system...

check the output of 'echo $ORACLE_HOME.

Using K menu/application and from there(graphical) when i say start database, i get the message
Operation failed, root is not a member of 'dba' group.

open User and Group Management in Yast and add 'dba' in root user's group list.

as i mentioned in your last thread, i have never installed/configured Oracle in Linux. but as per instructions, it should work now.

I found the .bashrc file and made changes.
I also added root and user vikram as members of group dba.
but to no avail.

I dont seem to find a solution

Can't help with Oricle but the easies thing with the video driver is to go to the NVIDIA site and download the driver for your NVIDIA chipset, then follow the instruction provided on the NVIDIA site for Suse istallation. It is very easy you just need to follow the instructions

I did what was told in the site, but after that, when i rebooted the system, the graphics was not activated.

only command prompt

[gogalthorp]

Did you follow the Yast method or the manual method?

Use the manual method!!!

Be sure to run sax2

And be sure you downloaded the correct version for your card
