There is nothing to do with it. In this case, a warnningalert is reported. After the original database10gr2.tar.gz is decompressed, The OUI installation interface can still be called up. And Patch package p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.iso, after decompression, but can not bring up the OUI installation and upgrade interface, it is strange !!!!

---------------------------------------

The problem has been solved.
My preliminary consideration: first, I checked the rpm package required to install oracle carefully and found that no package was missing. Therefore, the possibility of missing rpm packages was ruled out. Second, is it because I copied the patch package? So I downloaded the patch of the same version from the oracle official website. After comparison, I found that:

The iso size of my image file is:
# Ll-thr/bk/p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.iso
-Rw-r -- 1 oracle oinstall 1.1G Jul 15 04:34/bk/p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.iso

The size of patch packages provided by oracle official supp is:
# Ll-thr/bk/p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.zip
-Rw-r -- 1 oracle oinstall 0.98G Jul 15 04:54/bk/p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.zip

It may be that the original copy from other machines, the p6810189_10204_Linux-x86.iso file problems, resulting in failure to install. Therefore, use the zip package downloaded from oracle to decompress and install the package. The test results are as follows:

$./RunInstaller-debug

This warning still appears here, but it does not matter. The OUI installation interface is displayed as follows:

Later, I downloaded another 10.2.0.4.0 patch package. The OUI installation interface can also be installed normally.

I didn't think that the problem was actually here. It's really speechless, hey! Therefore, we recommend that you download the patch installation package from the official website.
