ubuntuInstalling Oracle XE on Ubuntu was a breeze. I downloaded the package and executed it. Ubuntu Software Center kicked in and performed the installation. The issue I faced was when I started database. I got the following error:

"operation failed, deepak is not a member of dba group"

The solution is to make myself a member of dba group. This can be achieved by following command.

sudo usermod -a -G dba deepak

I could now run Oracle database without any problem.
