you should use killall gdm first
then restart gdm using startx
and run it again

To fix X11 (as root):
# xhost +local:oracle
# su – oracle
$ DISPLAY = :0.0; export DISPLAY
$ xclock //should display an X11 window

On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), libstdc++.so.5, required by Oracle is replaced by .6. To fix:
1) add the following repository: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty universe
2) install libstdc++5 and run the install of Oracle
3) reinstall libstdc++6 (otherwise such apps as ooffice get broken)

I too get the:

oracle@hegemon:~/database$ ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 54: /home/oracle/database/install/.oui: No such file or directory

The file is definitely there and has the right permissions. It is like the shell is unable to find it.

Jason: All you have to do is run : xhost +

Run this as ur normal user who started the desktop. This way any other user such as user “oracle” can run a GUI application which this installer is.

good luck

I’m trying to install oracle 10g on Ubuntu 9.10

when i run ./runInstaller I receive the following error:

./runInstaller: line 54: /oracle/stage/102_64/data/base/install.oui: No such file or directory

THe file exists and the permissions are fine… no idea why this is happening.
