[10:07] <sword_> how do i install java plug-in fr firefox?
[10:08] <sword_> i tried installing using synaptic but web sites still dont open
[10:09] <vil> sword_, you should find it in either one of these gcjwebplugin, sun-java5-plugin, sun-java6-plugin
[10:10] <vil> you also need to restart firefox
[04:59] <harpi> this i better, 4 peeps to talk to instead of 1500 on #ubuntu
[04:59] <harpi> hello all
[05:03] <harpi> i am writing a howto installing java and freenet on ubuntu 6.06, i should be a simple howto for newbies but somehow it get to complicated, it makes me start all over after 30min, i also have no idea how to hack this
[05:04] <harpi> the idea is to post the howto on indymedia
[05:07] <man-di> what is the problem?
[05:08] <harpi> so i was wondering if i can find a fool to do this together with?? 
[05:09] <harpi> i do all the writing and translation in dutch and german
[05:10] <man-di> you mean a text editor?
[05:11] <harpi> huh no the translation of the howto in 3 languages 
[05:12] <man-di> I dont get what you want, sorry. Please explain different
[05:12] <man-di> even in german if you like
[05:14] <harpi> oke i'll try, i was a windows user for years until  i got a mp3 virus. i switch to ubuntu and was lurking ever sinds. now i want to contribute and write a howto. this howto is for installing freenet on ubuntu. freenet needs java and that brings me here
[05:17] <man-di> ok
[05:18] <harpi> brb doorbell rings, 
[05:31] <harpi> installing freenet is simple but installing jvm or jre is not i have no experience with java and that is why i need your help
[05:34] <harpi> can i paste 5 lines of error?
[05:37] <man-di> sure
[05:38] <harpi> java.lang.NullPointerException

[05:39] <man-di> this is with GCJ
[05:39] <man-di> have you tried with SUN?
[05:39] <harpi> yes, same
[05:39] <man-di> I think freenet dont works with old gcj from dapper
[05:40] <man-di> then its a bug in freenet I would say
[05:40] <man-di> I know the main freenet coder cursed SUNs NIO impl for being incompatible between releases
[05:41] <harpi> so best to try a earlier version of jvm?
[05:41] <man-di> best to report bugreports to freenet
[05:43] <harpi> sure that to, but in the meantime bug are not going to fixt soon so...
[05:43] <harpi> to be fixed that is
[05:44] <man-di> you can ofcourse look into the source yourself and try to fix it
[05:44] <man-di> but freenet source is really strange
[05:44] <man-di> at least last I looked
[05:45] <harpi> i know it is abacadabra to me as well and i am realy not up to that
[05:48] <harpi> don't the nubers give anything away about the cause ?
[05:49] <man-di> the numbers are the line numbers in the Java source
[05:50] <man-di> so it might help debugging the bug
[05:53] <harpi> debugging the bug, err, i have no idea what you mean to me it sounds like killing the dead bird :-$
[05:55] <man-di> its useful for upstream
[05:55] <man-di> for the freenet developers
[05:55] <man-di> not really for others
[05:56] <harpi> aah oke i am talking to them on channel freenet as well
[05:58] <man-di> they surely know more about this stuff
[05:58] <harpi> i hope
