Re: ecollege

x-dog, could you please be more clear? I know this works, it is installed in all my machines.

1. Did you enable all software repositories in KPackageKit? Make sure Multiverse is enabled
2. Install the sun java packages from KPackageKit, and please report whether or not the installation went through. Remeber you need the plugin I listed above to jhave the JRE show up in Firefox

That should do, really, could you please verify this?

Re: ecollege

Hmm....

Things probably went wrong from the post of ukchucktown e.g. sudo aptitude install java-sun6-jre when the correct command is sudo aptitude sun-java6-jre . Probably compounded by incorrectly inputting java-sun-6-jre, to get the result - Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "java-sun-6-jre"

Then a small and unecessary diversion into Medibuntu...

One way to get sun-java6-jre is to install kubuntu-restricted-extras. This will download and install a few useful things, including JRE. The command is:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras

TIP:How to copy and paste into your Terminal automatically if you have a wheel (or 3 button) mouse and avoid spelling mistakes, typos and other errors.

1) Highlight the command.
2) Put your cursor anywhere in your Terminal
3) Press the wheel (middle button)

Job done. No typing!

Re: ecollege

This is how I've always gotten it working:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Then i can run java apps from shell and run java code in my browsers.
