Upgrading

Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 on my DELL Inspiron 8600 with Broadcom WLAN failed. A complete new install from CD worked perfectly.

Xubuntu 9.04

Today I installed Oracle XE on the new Xubuntu 9.04 - it worked ;-)

Minor problem was that XE forgot the passwords given on installation for SYSTEM and SYS, so it was impossible to login to APEX.

Solution was:

su - oracle
sqlplus /NOLOG
connect / as sysdba
ALTER user system identified by new_password;
ALTER user sys identified by new_password;

:-)
