Failed to start Oracle service

Question

I'm using Linux Mint Olivia Distribution and wanted to install Oracle 11gXE, but am facing some problems. I followed almost these steps to finish the installation successfully: Installing Oracle 11gXE on Mint and Ubuntu

But upon running the service sudo service oracle-xe start I get this output:

Starting Oracle Net Listener.
Starting Oracle Database 11g Express Edition instance.
Failed to start Oracle Net Listener using /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr and Oracle Express Database using /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/sqlplus.

Any help please?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Did you install libaio1?. If not, then

sudo apt-get install libaio1

should solve the problem.
