I was installing Oracle 11g Release 2 Enterprise edition in Ubuntu 10.04 ( running on VMWARE ). Need help regarding that.
Problem #1:
I was following
Both are recommending to install
But I'm getting a 404 to when applying wget
Problem 2:
I skipped this part to see the end and finally I'm stuck on running below commands
$ cd database
$ ./runInstaller
Its throwing error like
/opt/database/runInstaller: 153: /opt/database/install/.oui: Permission denied
Thnx Sathya
Finally I could get rid of Initial Problem. It was silly permission problem. But now stuck in another. When im running
./runInstaller
first it is showing following failure
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB. Actual 10055 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 894 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<
If I ignore this check and press y to continue, it shows

As my ubuntu is running on VMWARE, may be its not getting the display properties properly. Also as a clarification I m doing
DISPLAY=oracle:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
here oracle is the output of
whoami
Any suggestion?

Assume you are using oracle to run the installer as suggested by the manual, you only need to run two commands (run from account with sudo access)
DISPLAY=:4.0; export DISPLAY
xhost +SI:local user:oracle
After that, go back to the tab with oracle and you should be able to run installer now.

If you are running database server in command-line mode(runlevel 3),and your client is windows, you should run an X server on your client machine like Xming server
also if you use Putty to connect to the server,X11 forwarding should be enabled without any location address changing. No DISPLAY environment needed. Putty automatically forwards all x commands from the server to your client machine running Xming server. Hope this helps.

FYI for others looking at this and still stuck - I still had the issue:
Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.FailedCould not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed
Even after getting xclock to load (on RHEL) for the oracle user. In the end, my issue was '/usr/bin/xdpyinfo' wasn't installed, I was missing xorg-x11-utils.

Finally I got it fixed.
using
xhost +
Now I can see that this was recommended in different forums. However, lets include the steps here also :)
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY
xhost +
su - oracle
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY
/user/openwin/bin/xclock
- Launched xclock this way to ensure it was working, and it wasCollected from https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=569326

Both are recommending to install
This isn't required if you're installing a 32-bit version of Oracle or using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu. (and note: you haven't mentioned which one you're using
I skipped this part to see the end and finally I'm stuck on running below commands
Have you done as mentioned or skipped the entire steps? Intermediate steps involve creating an oracle
user & adding the usergroups - seems like you skipped these.
