[11:36] <micahspoop> hello all 
[11:37] <micahspoop> I have a very basic question about installing jdk on ubuntu
[11:37] <micahspoop> I cannot compile my .java files to a .class files because evidentally I did not install it to the usual path or I need to set a path
[11:40] <man-di> aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
[11:40] <man-di> and be done
[11:43] <micahspoop> ok
[11:44] <micahspoop> thank you
[11:44] <micahspoop> so that will install jdk to what location?
[11:45] <man-di> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[11:45] <man-di> but it should add all to your PATH too
[11:45] <man-di> so you dont need to fiddle with your PATH yourself
[11:45] <micahspoop> oh ok
[11:46] <micahspoop> I got an error
[11:47] <micahspoop> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[11:47] <micahspoop> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[11:47] <man-di> sure, for package installations you need to be root
[11:48] <micahspoop> ok
[11:49] <micahspoop> how can I be root?
[11:50] <micahspoop> I am sorry I am really new to linux
[11:50] <man-di> sudo aptitude ....
[11:50] <man-di> and then type your password
[11:51] <micahspoop> sweet
[11:51] <micahspoop> thanks alot
[11:51] <micahspoop> I obviously need a good tutorial for linux, I was wondering if you have any suggestions
[11:51] <man-di> www.google.com ;-)
[11:51] <micahspoop> :P
[11:52] <micahspoop> well thanks again 
[11:52] <man-di> sorry, I use Linux since 14 years, I dont know beginner tutorials
