dbstart is (korn) shell script. I don't think running truss on it is of much use, cat or page would be more like it.
The error messages can be looked up in the Oracle Server Messages manual. The associated error message ('Error while retrieving text') indicate you are missing either the NLS_LANG environment variable, or the ORA_NLS<xx>_DATA environment variable.
The Getting started Manual has a list of required environment variables.

12154 is the famous 'can not resolve service name' and points to an invalid tnsnames.ora

Generally, before you push that install button, read at least the getting started manual and follow it *closely*
