Hello friend. Free various versions of Linux can be used to run smoothly Oracle Database. However, only Oracle Linux is certified. CentOS, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora, are good, but not certified. Red Hat, Suse Enterprise, are options if you are certified.

Ok, my friend, for Ubuntu Linux, If you want to try Linux, please go to https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2461988?start=0&tstart=0

Windows 8 is not a certified OS for installing Oracle databases currently. But a CRC error could be because the file is corrupt or that the software version is not for 64bit

Please check that your software is correct in this link: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x64)</title><meta name="Title" content="Ora…

CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check.

Let me know how it goes with the check.

Another factor may be:

The Oracle Database has two zip files.

You unpack both files in separate directories and then move the file contents 2 within the same disk structure 1. This can also be the cause of your mistake.

If you need to be the oracle user, try first:

$ su

(provide root password)

then once root:

# su oracle

(you should not be prompted for a password)

Login as root and set the password for oracle

su -

give the root password

passswd oracle  - it will prompt you for setting the password

Then now you could login with the password set above.

If you dont want to set any password to oracle. you still have two options

1. login as root and su - oracle  - which should not ask for password

or

2. Give sudo acces to oracle to other users.

Or just unzip them both into the same directory to start with.  Which is what happens if you just use the unzip command at a command line instead of relying on Windows's  lame GUI.  Especially given that the OP is on a Linux, albeit an unsupported distro.

What are the free linux OS's that are suited for running Oracle 11g smoothly?

 

Please tell the easier OS's.

 

thanks.

As others have pointed out repeatedly in this thread, Oracle is not supported on Ubuntu.  The supported distros are listed in the Software Prerequisite section of the Installation Guide.

So why do you seem to insist on pushing ahead with an unsupported os?

32 Bit installations

•   Oracle Linux 4 Update 7
•   Oracle Linux 5 Update 2
•   Oracle Linux 6

64 bit Installations

•   Oracle Linux 4 Update 7

•   Oracle Linux 5 Update 2 (with Red Hat Compatible Kernel)

•   Oracle Linux 5 Update 5

•   Oracle Linux 6

Please check for installation document o/s requirements for further.

I would suggest you install Oracle Linux 5.7 or 5.8 or 5.9

Only 11.2.0.3 is certified for Linux 6.x, and 11.2.0.3 is only available for customers with a Support contract. If you only have access to the publicly available 11.2.0.1 version, it is not certified on Linux 6.x
