Issue Starting Oracle XE on Ubuntu
Installing 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.







Thanks for this. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting the error. Your suggestion solved the problem.
