To Restart the network on Oracle Linux :
#service network restart
#service network stop
#service network start
Setup GUI on the base Oracle VM installation
Restart the virtualbox
Linux has a similar concept of multiple 'Desktops?' so you can switch between the shell that is displayed while starting the VM and the GUI using ctrl+shift F1 and Ctrl+shiftF7 (There are about 7-8 sessions and each one is reached using ctrl+shiftFn)
#service network restart
#service network stop
#service network start
Setup GUI on the base Oracle VM installation
- cd /etc/yum.repos.d (This sets the YUM repository to save the repo file from next line).
- wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo (this should be rechecked for each Linux release, the last part indicates this is for Enterprise Linux5).
- yum update (gets/runs the updates based on the repo file created above).
- after updates restart the VM (shutdown -r now)
- yum grouplist
- yum groupinstall "Xwindow System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"
- vi /etc/inittab (set the id:3:initdefault: to 5)
