There really should _never_ be a reason to install telnetd on your system. 
It's a security hazard, and it won't help you when you're trying to test
another _server_.

We already knew that.  Nothing is listening on port 8080 - you need to fix
the problem with the listener startup, not play with other servers.

The startup script on the KDE menu is:

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/startdb.sh

Try running it from a terminal, and see what you get.
