Hello: This is a Red Hat 8.0 standalone PC ... I was trying to install Oracle 9i Release 2 on Linux and I unfortunately followed 2 or 3 different sets of directions for establishing the Oracle user account and dba account.
Regardless, I can no longer start in runlevel 5 gui mode now ... I don't want to reinstall Red Hat yet again, and lose the files I've just downloaded plus many other valuable files just because of this damned problem ... this is twice now ... Can you help? The only clues I have are from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file, which ends with the following: "Could not init front path element unix/:7100, removing from list!" And then when I try to restart I always get: "could not open default font 'fixed'. The very last thing I was doing was trying to sign in as the oracle user. I had just written a new .bash_profile file, this time in /opt/oracle. For the previous two days I was using another .bash_profile file, in /usr/oracle. I had just blown away that /usr/oracle directory when this problem started. It was looking for my $ORACLE_HOME location, which had been /usr/oracle, but I'd just switched it to /opt/oracle and moved over some files to there. When I restarted it came back with some problem with the /usr/oracle/.gconf-test-locking-file and not being able to locate it. I created that file brute-force style with cat > thatfilename ... and then got this cannot start X problem. Please answer. Please try to help. I'm on the same PC, on the Windows XP side sending this to you. (I set it up with a dual boot with grub.) Please answer.
