Installing Oracle 11gR1 on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope
Welcome, readers! It’s time for another update to our series of posts on installing Oracle on Ubuntu Linux. In this edition, we’ll be installing Oracle 11g R1 on Ubuntu 9.04, both 32-bit.
This time, I’ve used VirtualBox to run a virtual machine (VM) to perform our work. (Virtualization has a number of advantages; in this case, I made several trial installs, trying different combinations and configurations. Having a pristine, basic set-up accelerated the whole process, since I didn’t had to reinstall from scratch on every new attempt.)
You might want to review the previous editions of this series, as there are technical references on this text fully detailed on previous posts. See these HOWTOs for Ubuntu:
Since we’re installing on a VM, we’ll be using Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit Server edition, , so let’s download it and check the MD5sum:

Download Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0), and verify the provided cksum:
