I get this error message each time I try to connect to my Oracle XE local database under Ubuntu 15.10 :

I have read on some forums that i have to delete my /dev/shm repository :
sudo rm -rf /dev/shm
sudo mkdir /dev/shm
sudo mount -t tmpfs shmfs -o size=2048m /dev/shm
I tried actually to do that but it seems that /dev/shm is used by several processors including my firefox navigator.
Any help will more than welcome.
