Switzerland is a federal republic (latin : Confoederatio Helvetica), that’s why there is the abbreviation CH, so beware of any online fondue …

It doesn’t. Not so far as I know, anyway!

As long as it doesn’t start advertising “Chinese girls” in the middle of my Word document!

Comment on Gladstone – An Oracle installation script by dizwell

A further follow-up: Linux Mint 12 uses the Gnome 3 libraries. All bets are off at that point, I’m afraid. I don’t anyone with a successful Oracle Enterprise Edition 11gR2 on a Gnome 3-based distro… let alone a .deb-based one, too.

We need to see Oracle themselves making moves to run in a post-Gnome 2 world, I think. In the meantime: use virtualisation and run Oracle on something that works (like Centos or Scientific Linux)

Using a text editor. Over to you.

However: I will not, ever, support 32-bit installations… they’re really not a good idea. Meanwhile, as it says just immediately above you, I haven’t got around to working out all the issues associated with installing on Linux Mint 12 of whatever bit-ness. So you are way ahead of the curve.

If you get it sorted, let me know: I’ll incorporate your work and everyone can benefit.

But not 32-bit. Am not interested, don’t think you should be, and don’t think anyone else will be either.

That a definite “no” to a 32-bit version, because I don’t believe it makes any sense to use 32-bit versions of Oracle these days. (If you do, fair enough…. but there are limits to the number of permutations of distros, oracle versions and bit-ness that I can cope with. 64-bit only was a decision I took about 4 years ago in order to reduce the odds back in my favour.

Linux Mint 12 is a possibility. I don’t use it myself, so it’s not a high priority. I am also no longer very sure these days what actually constitutes Linux Mint 12, what with its new Debian Edition and so on. If I get a chance, I’ll take a look at doing something with this version.

Comment on Oracle Names Resolution with OpenLDAP by Georger

Hi,
That would be great. Anyone who’s using some LDAP other than Active Directory would benefit from knowing about Apache Directory Studio.

Thanks Ales. Nice someone remembers the old OID article! If speed is your thing, I've prepared a summary version of the full OpenLDAP-as-OID article in the Quick Tips section of the site. Eating my own dog-food, I was able to do the whole thing on a Centos 6.2 box at the command line, via ssh, in about 8 minutes (I'm a slow typist!) Current reading: Roman Emperors. And also -funnily enough - Mastering OpenLDAP Cheers!
