I'm totally new to Linux so please excuse my ignorance.
I've got Ubuntu Server installed on an HP Proliant DL server; no GUI available. I'm trying to install Oracle 11g on this server and I'm running into a lot of Xterm, xhost issues etc.
I've tried all the Googled solutions to no avail. Can anyone provide or link me to a step-by-step guide on how to install Oracle on Linux in a non-VM environment?
In addition to the answer in How can I install Oracle 11g R2?
If you don't mind using 10g XE version (good enough for learning purpose), you can add the Oracle Open Source Software APT repository and use apt-get to install it.
Add deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free
e.g.
echo "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
and then
add the key
wget http://oss.oracle.com/el4/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update && apt-get install oracle-xe
Start, stop and configure: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe {start|stop|configure}
