JRE problem

[Guest]

I've got a problem while trying to install Sun JRE. KPackageKit said that it had succesfully installed the jre and all dependencies. But while trying to check the jvm, i got that:
proton@Proton:~$ java
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* gcj-4.4-jre-headless
* openjdk-6-jre-headless
* cacao
* gij-4.3
* jamvm
* kaffe
What went wrong ?

Re: JRE problem

Installing the Sun Java tools requires you to accept a license agreement. Unfortunately KPackageKit does not know how to do this correctly. Try installing the JRE from the command line using

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

and use the tab key to accept the license.

Wow. Thanks a lot. It works!

As far as I am concerned, this is a great reason to not use KPackagekit. It just isn't ready for average users yet.

Agree'd I still use Adept. It handles Java and kubuntu-restricted-extras great. Wont install using KPK at all.

Sad, though, as KPK has come along way, but still not mature enough for most
