I have installed oracle 10g on a ubuntu 10.x, This is my first time installation. After installing I tried to start it with the command below.

tsegay@server-name:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin$ lsnrctl

Welcome to LSNRCTL, type "help" for information.

LSNRCTL> start

Listener failed to start. See the error message(s) above...

my listener.ora file looks like this:

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = acct-vmserver)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

I can guess the problem is with permission issue, But i dont know where I have to do the change on permission.

Any help is appreciated ...

EDIT##

When i run with the command sudo, i got this

tsegay@server-name:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1$ sudo ./bin/lsnrctl start
