I installed Oracle XE 11g on my Ubuntu in vmware fusion. The oracle installation is all went fine but I am not able to connect the oracle database using sqlplus. I am getting this exception: 

$ sqlplus

I followed the instructions as per this excellent blog http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2014/03/18/installing-java-oracle-11g-r2-express-edition-and-sql-developer-on-ubuntu-64-bit/ and got everything installed but feels like I am missing something obvious. My have setup Vmware fusion with 2GB of Memory.
