Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Ubuntu 6.10 and patch 10.2.0.5

Characteristics:

Ubuntu 6.10 is a very old Ubuntu, it should be based on the Tesing/unstable branch of Debian 4. So, there are more problems.

How do I install oracle10g?

Several key technical points:

Because Ubuntu 6.10 x is still X11R6 (followed by X11R7), it is not possible to run Runinstaller directly. The report locale does not support related errors.

The use of the silent installation of Oracle, in fact, it is not difficult to customize a few necessary parameters can be.

Special attention is: when patching, estimated that the runinstaller of the patch package is a bug, its-ignoresysprereqs parameters do not take effect, silent installation will always terminate, improve the system check, must be corrected. The kernel parameter is better to solve, but for the glibc version of the check is always not enough-because this is the Debian series, RPM query results and Redhat series is different, the solution is to write a rpm (shell script) always return a higher version number! It was the perfect solution that took me 4 hours to figure it out!

In addition:after the Oracle 10.2.0.5 upgrade is complete, its assistants/templates under the seed_database did not upgrade to the latest!!! Is this my bad luck to meet the pit?!!
