| greenpete | Hi! Anyone home? | 10:40 |
|---|---|---|
| grenegar | greetings | 10:41 |
| greenpete | Hi there! I was hoping to get some help installing java runtime, can you help please? | 10:41 |
| tmarble | yes... at home ;-) | 10:41 |
| tmarble | which implementation | 10:41 |
| tmarble | ? | 10:41 |
| grenegar | for sun jre 'sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre' | 10:42 |
| greenpete | Am I in the right place? | 10:42 |
| greenpete | Ok I will try that, though I am struggling with command line stuff! | 10:43 |
| greenpete | Thanks! | 10:43 |
| tmarble | grenegar: saw you over on #ubuntu-server... is this for intel or sparc? | 10:43 |
| grenegar | for sparc | 10:44 |
| tmarble | ah... sorry to say we do not yet have Java available for Ubuntu/SPARC | 10:44 |
| grenegar | clarify: my posts on #ubuntu-server were for sparc. | 10:44 |
| greenpete | Tells me it cant find package , even though some of it seems to go ok! | 10:45 |
| grenegar | greenpete: if you prefer synaptic just search for sun-java5-jre package | 10:45 |
| greenpete | ok will try now | 10:45 |
| tmarble | arch independent stuff will work, but not the -bin (arch dependent) | 10:46 |
| tmarble | thus it is not complete | 10:46 |
| tmarble | I am aware of the desire to have Java on Ubuntu/SPARC | 10:46 |
| grenegar | ah, i only installed this on i386 with apt-get (or synaptic) | 10:47 |
| tmarble | oh.. if you are interested in i386 or amd64 then that's OK... | 10:47 |
| greenpete | When you say synaptic, do you mean add/remove? | 10:47 |
| greenpete | I have an AMD Athlon | 10:48 |
| tmarble | FFI: https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html | 10:48 |
| grenegar | no, go to System, Adminitration, Synaptic Package Manager | 10:48 |
| tmarble | the issue about amd64, of course, is it is the 64-bit server compiler only (i.e. no client stuff like plugin for browsers) | 10:48 |
| greenpete | No go with synaptic. the search comes up with nothing :-( Will try https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html | 10:50 |
| grenegar | greenpete: if you can't find the package in synaptic then you need to add repositories: universe and multiverse | 10:51 |
| grenegar | in Synaptic go to Settings, Repositories | 10:52 |
| greenpete | Ha ha! It's getting tricky now! I'm following though! :-) | 10:52 |
| grenegar | select Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary) | 10:52 |
| tmarble | yeah.. I tried to simplify the directions fro adding suites... (this will get fixed in Edgy) | 10:52 |
| grenegar | hit Edit | 10:53 |
| grenegar | select all checks | 10:53 |
| grenegar | hit Reload in Synaptic | 10:53 |
| grenegar | then search for sun-java5-jre | 10:53 |
| greenpete | Waiting for reload.... | 10:53 |
| greenpete | Still no go in synaptic :-( | 10:55 |
| tmarble | at the risk of showing you the really complex instructions... you might look at https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu-dev.html | 10:56 |
| greenpete | Ok. My system is doing all sorts of updates and I'm not sure which I have asked for now! Will try the info you have given me so far and get through all of that, including https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu-dev.html! | 10:58 |
| greenpete | Seems to be downloading now! From Add/remove programs.....fingers crossed! | 11:05 |
| tmarble | you are on a SS20 (amd64), right? | 11:06 |
| === tmarble maybe just the amd64 part is right (grenegar had the SS20) | ||
| greenpete | I have an AMD Athlon, if thats what you mean? | 11:08 |
| tmarble | yep | 11:08 |
| tmarble | oops, no I was wondering if it was an opteron (sorry for the confusion) | 11:08 |
| tmarble | wait.. athlon is another marketing name for the consumer version of the opteron... so it should be amd64 | 11:10 |
| greenpete | I now have it installed acording to add/remove programs, but still I cannot view java in Firefox! :-( | 11:11 |
| greenpete | Any thoughts....? | 11:12 |
| tmarble | can you copy the output of uname -a here? | 11:13 |
| greenpete | ?? | 11:13 |
| tmarble | from the Accessories menu, choose Terminal | 11:14 |
| tmarble | then type: uname -a | 11:14 |
| greenpete | Linux Big 2.6.15-25-386 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux | 11:15 |
| greenpete | What does all that mean? I know that 'Big' is the name I gave my PC | 11:15 |
| tmarble | yep.. Big is your name | 11:16 |
| greenpete | And the rest? | 11:16 |
| tmarble | in the terminal window type: man uname | 11:16 |
| tmarble | for a full explanation | 11:16 |
| greenpete | Does it help you with my problem? | 11:16 |
| tmarble | so try this... go into Synaptic and search for sun-java5 | 11:16 |
| tmarble | check the package called sun-java5-plugin | 11:17 |
| tmarble | then apply | 11:17 |
| greenpete | Ok | 11:17 |
| tmarble | after that completes, you will need to exit/restart firefox | 11:17 |
| greenpete | Ok | 11:17 |
| tmarble | then in the URL window, type: about:plugins | 11:17 |
| greenpete | All seems to work!!!! Thanks so much! It seems so complicated or am I just too used to Windows? | 11:21 |
| tmarble | whew! | 11:21 |
| greenpete | Ha ha! | 11:21 |
| grenegar | heh, some things are easier, some still harder.. :) | 11:21 |
| tmarble | it's a little bit complicated... the remaining trickiness should go away in the next release of Ubuntu | 11:21 |
| grenegar | do you know about Automatix? | 11:22 |
| tmarble | you'll be glad to know there's a lot of magic behind the scenes to make all the stuff work that you just did! | 11:22 |
| tmarble | nope | 11:22 |
| greenpete | I really want to use Linux only but this seems to be too much to have to do all of the time, though I have installed stuff from the add/remove and it has worked but also some things have not worked either! | 11:22 |
| greenpete | Whats Automatix | 11:23 |
| grenegar | Automatix and EasyUbuntu (just google them) allow you to easily to what we just did plus install audio/video codecs, common apps, etc. | 11:23 |
| greenpete | Sounds good! I like the thought that to use Linux you need a brain but I don't like things to be so complicated that I can't get it sorted at all! | 11:24 |
| grenegar | some info about automatix: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=177646 | 11:24 |
| greenpete | Am Googleing! Well Altavistering as Google have been horrible to China! | 11:24 |
| grenegar | just use my link instead | 11:25 |
| grenegar | here is automatix install instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190025 | 11:26 |
| grenegar | it ROX | 11:26 |
| grenegar | good luck! | 11:27 |
| greenpete | Mmmm looks quite daunting to setup Automatix! Will look into it tomorrow! Goodnight, and thanks a lot for you time! | 11:28 |
