Just got An ASUS Laptop with pentium Mobile (centrino)

40G

256MB (I may upgrade soon)

come with XP pro (no choice)

LAN And wirelessLAN (centrino)

Modem

I've installed Mdk 9.2 , which seen to work although I have few pbs:

*If I touch the switch, the laptop switch off the power with no warning...

*the wireless doesn't work yet ( I heard that it is possible to get something but I will wait ...)

*the touch pad doesn't work but as it come with a usb mouse I can still use it..

Spend 1000 cyPounds =around 1500 euro (with router wireless and lan)

I use eclipse with Mdk which work fine

AH voila...

It s working !!!

the last error (see below) was due to the database name.

I was using "linux1.localdomain"

now I use "ORA1.linux1"

linux1 been the name of my machine.

So If anybody want to use oracle 8.1.7 with Mandrake 8.2, follow the steps.

Thanks Gowator for your advices.

ERROR 4

**************************************

ORA-03114: not connected to oracle.

**************************************

Satellite is slow to start because of the laws of Physics

The waves need to travel to the sattelite and back.

If we have a geostationary orbit ~36000km (times 2), it takes some time for the waves to travel.

And you will for sure have a small delay,

But it is great for stream data, once the connect establish and the data flows

the best is to couple it with a mornal modem for the small and quick data flow.

You don't need to put anything

just open the Mandrake Control Center ( need root psswd) (It may have changed name in 9.2)

go to the Network & Internet

and then configure the network using the "LAN " option and the "DHCP" option

the DHCP option will try to find you an IP address from the server. In your case, the ADSL modem will act as a server so you need to switch it on before to try to connect the PC.

hopefully this will help

TO summarized:

Works oracle 8.1.7 with Mdk8.2.

but I still have to fix the following

ERROR 4

**************************************

ORA-03114: not connected to oracle.

**************************************

I have choosen during the installation the network address:

linux1.localdomain

(linux1 refering to the host IP address of my machine)

I have to check and put something else than local domain, hopefully it will fix it

Thanks

HI gowator,

My .bash_profile is a bit different but I probably didn't go through the same installation process.

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7; export ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID=ora1; export ORACLE_SID

PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin; export PATH

CLASSPATH=.:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip; export CLASSPATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I have re-install mdk8.2

the error 1

*************************************

1.

"Thrown when the IP can not be determined"

-> this I thought should stop the install process

************************************

was due (I think..) to the fact that I put DCPH on the IP setup, and doesn't seems to like it.

I also install the minimum this time: KDE, gcc, binutils, make, egcs(not sure if useful this one)

no other apache server or ftp server in case it creates pbs during install

the error 3

**********************************

"Error in writing to file

$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssp.key/server.key"

**********************************

was solved when I re-installed everything from sratch.

and the errorS 2 disappear when using the mdk 8.2

EVERYTHING WENT FINE until the 99% of the install

ERROR 4

**************************************

ORA-03114: not connected to oracle.

**************************************

This probably due to the network, as it is share with some XP system I didn't configure it correctly?? I have to check.

PS:

I attached the procedure I have follow, works well with Mdk 8.2

Doesn't work with redHat 7.2 (without fix), not with Mdk 9.1 or Mdk 8.1 (without patches)

817.html

Could you give us the site where to get the RPM file. for the Nvidia (Graphic card)

Thanks

SunnyFr

oh OH !!

Allmost there, I have just fine mdk8.2 and did an upgrade.

I still have the Error 1

1.

"Thrown when the IP can not be determined"

-> this I thought should stop the install process

but the other errors are gone ... great allmost up to the end.

one bad thing is that another error came

Error 3.

"Error in writing to file

$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssp.key/server.key"

But I guess that if I install everything from scratch (again) this one should go.

About the Error 1. , I am not sure why. maybe it is due to the fact that I had installed other services. ...

SunnyFr

Hi Gowater,

I already install all the ENV in the .bash_profile so the ORACLE_HOME /_SID etc... seems ok.

The main pb when I run the ./runInstaller (or sh -x ./runinstaller) is these 2 errors

1.

"Thrown when the IP can not be determined"

-> this I thought should stop the install process

2.

"Error in invoke target install Make file"

->this happening for a lot of ".mk" files. One of them been $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/lib/ins_sql.mk

$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk

and others ".mk" files

Do you remember which extra PATH to set up?

or do you think it is due to the glibc?

Thanks

SunnyFr

eh oui what a strange world.

but I will not complain, except that I miss the cheeses.

Just tried with the RH7.2, (the attached O'relly version, shouldn't be a pb)

but the ./runInstaller doesn't start. I have checked the libraries and seems to be all there. (..)

At least this was starting in mdk 8.1

I got a 9.2 (and 9.1) but it seems to be worst for oracle 8.1.7.

even install it at home. (start to be very good, but not enough for my wife...)

Thanks for the offer.

The oracle stuff would be welcome. ( especially the patches maybe by email?)

I am coming back to mdk 8.1, and will check everything again.

Thanks

Ps:

Je suis en europe.

Pas en France.

Just for the glibc:

Oracle has a patch for the linking problem. You

should ignore the error, complete the installation and apply the patch:

http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracl....3-stubs.tar.gz

You will find instructions for apply the patch in the file README.stub inside

the package.

You will need an OTN valid login, Oracle give you an OTN account for free at:

http://otn.oracle.com/

If the URL of the patch does not work try to go to the Download seccion in the

OTN site, then select Oracle 8i on the archive products, then choose Oracle 8i

for linux and you will be able to reach the Oracle 8i installer and the patch.

Thanks Gowator

I managed to run the installer on the mandrake 8.1, the Japanese site below is helpful to install the glibc patch, although I still have other pb.

ah! I also needed to install gcc (with binutils) and make..something. to work.

but I still have error.

Do you remember if we need other packages?

I have to try with Mandrake 8.2, but the bandwidth is not here. (download too slow)

I fund a old redHat 7.2 to test it before I get Mandrake 8.2 (which I enjoyed much more)

a Bientot,

SunnyFr

Japanese web site very useful see below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to install Oracle on Mandrake 8.1. The installer is working (./runinstaller) but not until the end.(can not find some .so files)

Does somone know if I need to put a new patch for libc (needed for Mandrake 8)

Thanks

I have try to install oracle 8.1.7 on Mandrake 9.1, But when I run ./runinstaller it doesn't to do anything.

Thanks for your previous comments, I will switch back to mandrake 8.

Which patch should I use for the glibc??

Thanks
