    RESOLVED: How to install java in 10.04?

    I can not find how to install java jre (Sun).

    I do have the lucid universe directories in /etc/apt/sources.list

    $ grep universe sources.list
    ## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
    deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
    deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
    deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
    deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
    # deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
    # deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
    deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe

    In the past, I have installed it at one time or another with adept, from an rpm file or with apt-get. What is the preferred method this week?

    Thanks in advance.

    Don't use KPackageKit. Use Synaptic or sudo apt-get install from the console (CLI). Either allow you to respond to the EULA that will pop-up, and that you still have to use the Tab key to get to the Okay button and then press Enter in order to acknowledge before the package will fully install.

      Actually, Sun's java has been moved to the "partner" repository for lucid...only openjdk java is in standard repositories.

      For Sun's java you need to add the partner repository, for sources.list:
      deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner

        Nice of them to move it around frequently. Keeps us on our toes.

        Thanks.

          Many thanks indeed for that invaluable piece of information - I was wondering where it had gone.

            I don't believe I added it at all. I think it is already part of Software Sources (Other Software tab). It may be that you have the activate (check) it - mine is so checked.

              On new installations of lucid the partner repo is already included in the sources list (but not enabled), so you only need to enable it (either manually or with software sources).

                I'm a newbie at this, and I need to install the java you're talking about. Would you mind giving me the directions, step by step on how to add (or activate) the partner repository? I don't even know where to look for the repository you refer to. I'd be grateful if you'd help me out with this.

                  An excellent explanation for Ubuntu is given at

                  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

                  To install synaptic, just use

                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get install synaptic

                  Hope this helps.

                      What in the world is "deb"?
                      Look a:t http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_(file_format)

                      In this case it is a Repository.

                      Look at: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-instal...ucid-lynx.html

                      It can be added with the command: sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”

                          In case of x64 computer and 64b Kubuntu, does the repository take 64b version of sun jre?
