Shmem problem installing Oracle 12 C on Ubuntu 18.04
Hi,
I'm a junior programmer. This is my first post here, please excuse me if that's not the correct place
For days now I've been trying to install Oracle DB 12c R2 on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm at my wits' end. The software itself installs fine and a Listener can be started but I can't start Oracle nor create a database. After several attempts:
The GUI installer (DBCA) freezes at 2% at "Copying database files.."
Under CLI I can start sqlplus / as sysdba but it freezes after STARTUP NOMOUNT; command (nothing happens, SQL prompt doesn't come back, the cursor just moves to next line and blinks forever).
I ran perf top -p on the process, after a few minutes I was left with:
Do you have any suggestions? What can I try / which logs should I check?
My settings:
.bashrc
/etc/sysctl.conf
pfile
oracle user has no sudo rights, bu full access to $ORACLE_BASE
During installation I tried various configurations, with respectively 60, 40 and 25% of RAM value for total memory, of these % 3/4 was SGA, 1/4 PGA. So for example at 60% (10 GB) it was 7,5GB SGA + 2,5GB PGA. At one point I tried to go < 1 GB total.
So you are saying I must up the SGA value to mach (or exceed) swap?
Yes, if you are using DISM, your swap should match your SGA exactly.
But that should not effect the installer hanging, which is very hard to tell why.
If you run the installer from command line, when it's hanging, what does the output to console say?
Does it give any hints ?
How long does it hang ?
Oracle tends to compile and link, so that could take a while on laptop.
If the installer has not completed successfully, it is doubtful you will be able to start the database.

Peasant.
