Please look at the following link for installing Oracle 12 DB on Ubuntu 18.04.

I personally tried it out and I was able to install the DB, but the database wouldn't start. It appears to be self-deadlocked -- the stack trace shows it is waiting on __lll_lock_wait_private called from localtime

Then I followed the instructions on the following page:

In particular, the following commands fix the hang issue:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs
rm libc*
cd ../../bin
./relink all

So, these steps work:

  • setup your environment as per the instructions on the webpage
  • runInstaller and only install the software, i.e. don't create the database
  • cleanup stubs and relink all as above
  • run dbca to create your database
