[SOLVED] Java Help

[Waltson]

Hey guys,
I have Kubuntu 10.10 and I'm just trying to install java to run a java game (and failing pretty hard) Ive used ubuntu before and the software center does alot of the software for you? but with the k package one i cant seem to do it, just wondering if anyone can help me? Ive followed the instructions on the java website and other posts where people have had trouble but nothing is working? my flat mate who is quite experienced is having the same trouble which is a shame its the first thing we have come across that we haven't been able to fix ourselves.

thanks for any feed back!

Re: Java Help

try searching for jre - I think default-jre will pull in all the needed openjdk bits for K(U)buntu Maverick

Re: Java Help

using the openjdk works for me, at least I get the game to open to the login area I am not interested in buying the game

If you have more than 1 java implementation installed, you can switch to different ones with this command:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

From the above error log you posted, it looks like you are using the openjdk, you may want to try changing that to the sun-java version and try again

Re: Java Help

the login screen will load but its just after that where it dies.
Its just confusing as it worked on the other computer and i cant see why it will not on mine? haha

Re: Java Help

Problem solved

It was a driver problem with my graphics card, up graded that and it sorted it right out.

Thanks for the help.

Ps. is there a way to set this topic as solved?
