Re: 10gR2 install on Kubuntu Stuck at 4%

Forgive me for being a complete noob, but both you and dizwell's guide
says to create the .bashrc file in /home/oracle

vi /home/oracle/.bashrc (or) .bash_profile ... set environ vars

but that folder doesn't exist. In your guide you created /app/oracle,
and in dizwell's, /oracle/10g.

In the other guide, he created the folder /opt/oracle/product/10gR2,
his bash_profile is created in /opt/oracle/.bash_profile, which makes
more sense to me.

I'm now trying to point my oracle user to use dizwell's folders - /
oracle/10g... but now when I do su - oracle, and then echo
$ORACLE_HOME, I get nothing! I think I'm going to delete that user
and delete all those folders and start over again.

When you create the "oracle" user

$ /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
$ /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
$ /usr/sbin/useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle

/home/oracle is created along with default .bash_profile and .bashrc
files.

If you are not seeing them ...

ls -al
not
ls
