A colleague faced this while running FMW installer on a Linux machine. The display appeared like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This thread gave a clue that it could have something to do with fonts. So I checked what all fonts related stuff was installed.

[root@someserver ~]# rpm -aq |grep -i font

stix-fonts looked suspicious to me. So I removed that with rpm -e stix-fonts.

That actually fixed the issue. After this the Installer window was displaying fine.

 

root.sh fails with CRS-2101:The OLR was formatted using version 3

Got this while trying to install 11.2.0.4 RAC on Redhat Linux 7.2. root.sh fails with a message like

ohasd failed to start
Failed to start the Clusterware. Last 20 lines of the alert log follow:
2017-11-09 15:43:37.883:

This is bug 18370031. Need to apply the patch before running root.sh.
