Hello NoOp,

my encounter with Oracle would hardly deserve the term experience, so
this is just from quick scan of links you provided above.

I suppose you didn't miss the "Edit – Cannot reach Database Home Page
after restart" chapter from [1]?
If this did not work for you, you my try another approach, found in [3],
which is link from [2], post #6 by Rene Jeruschkat.
>From the script Rene wrote and differ from instructions from [1]:

*ensure /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/log/listener.log
is also writable for non oracle users that are part of the dba group

*use bash instead of sh
in /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh
script, replacing "#!/bin/sh" with "#!/bin/bash"

*export oracle environment variables in /etc/profile
adding blank line end
then /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh in new line, rather then editing .bashrc file

No need to remind you, but for some (like me) who tend to forget: backup
files you edit first and script from [3] is not intended to direct use
without modification (if you are not user rene by a chance).

Sorry, but I can't try this myself as Oracle is to much greedy for the
sys I work on at the moment.
