For those who got ubuntu with java from sun microsystems…

in my case, the full path was /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/

Taghi,

I think the problem is due to dependency error. I haven’t tried installing this in Ubuntu 9.04. Even http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle10g were not updated. Did you check those sites?

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your replying. Yes , I try to starting. There is an instruction which is called “Oracle® Database Express Edition Getting Started Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2) “.
First step of the instruction is point out Go To Database Home Page. At this point I got a HTML error page which is telling “The requested URL /apex was not found on this server.” So, I don’t know how it should be resolved.
Thanks

If you see Oracle 10g express edition in the menu, then I think it got installed. Did you try starting it?

I’m not sure if I’m right or not, so anyone has a same problem or point to help me?

Thank you for the solution Guille. I haven’t tried using SQL Developer in Ubuntu recently. I have to do that soon.

I’ve found an easier solution.

which java
/usr/lib/java/bin/java

The pathname is -> /usr/lib/java

Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper_jdk
/usr/lib/java

After error message, add to the file “sqldeveloper.conf” (you can find it with command “sudo find / -name sqldeveloper.conf”)

SetSkipJ2SDKCheck true
