Oracle 12 C DB installation on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Question

Someone please guide me how to install Oracle 12c DB on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Informatica ETL Tool. Thank you very much.

Solution

Please look at the following link for installing Oracle 12 DB on Ubuntu 18.04.

https://tutorialforlinux.com/2018/05/09/how-to-install-oracle-12c-r2-database-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-64bit-easy-guide/

I personally tried it out and I was able to install the DB, but the database wouldn't start. It appears to be self-deadlocked -- the stack trace shows it is waiting on __lll_lock_wait_private called from localtime

Then I followed the instructions on the following page:

https://etc.to/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=20480023

In particular, the following commands fix the hang issue:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs
rm libc*
cd ../../bin
./relink all

So, these steps work:

• setup your environment as per the instructions on the webpage
• runInstaller and only install the software, i.e. don't create the database
• cleanup stubs and relink all as above
• run dbca to create your database

after two days, you save me another stressful day. Third step (relink all and then create database) seems to do the trick for me. Thanks man!
