[21:40] <ilopezdan> hello everyone i have a problem.
[21:40] <ilopezdan> all java applets crash my firefox
[21:41] <ilopezdan> Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-14-0ubuntu1.8.04) ...
[21:41] <ilopezdan> This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
[21:41] <ilopezdan> JDK documentation.  You will need to go download one of the
[21:41] <ilopezdan> archives:
[21:41] <ilopezdan>     jdk-6u10-docs.zip jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip
[21:41] <ilopezdan> (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
[21:41] <ilopezdan> Please visit
[21:41] <ilopezdan>     http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
[21:41] <ilopezdan> now and download.  The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
[21:41] <ilopezdan> to /tmp.
[21:41] <ilopezdan> [Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]
[21:43] <ilopezdan> anyone help?
[21:45] <nthykier> I have no idea how installing sun-java6-doc and the java applets crashing are related - but I would recommend you to use default-jdk-doc instead of sun-java6-doc
[21:45] <nthykier> it is easier to install, though it may not be available in older releases of Ubuntu
[21:46] <ilopezdan> hardy heron possible?
[21:46] <nthykier> likely to be too old
[21:47] <nthykier> if it is not available try openjdk-6-doc or classpath-doc
[21:48] <ilopezdan> command not found.
[21:48] <ilopezdan> java started crashing after yesterdays system update for firefox 3.0
[21:49] <nthykier> those were not commands but package names
[21:50] <nthykier> I assumed that you wanted the Java API docs based on what you pasted in the channel
[21:50] <ilopezdan> yes because every time i try to install java it gives me that dpkg line
[21:52] <nthykier> ask it to uninstall  sun-java6-doc
[21:53] <nthykier> that or follow its instructions to finish its installation
[21:54] <ilopezdan> i got the docs but they show no instructions.
[21:54] <ilopezdan> i'm reading now that i need to uninstall firefox 3.5
[21:54] <ilopezdan> is firefox 2.0 still available?
[21:56] <nthykier> don't know
[21:56] <ilopezdan> man this is so strange..
[21:57] <ilopezdan> okay in synaptic i already have classpath install
[21:58] <ilopezdan> hmmm i need to delete firefox 3.5
[21:58] <ilopezdan> thats the problemo
[22:04] <ilopezdan> by any chance is there a way to get root access?
[22:04] <nthykier> sudo -i
[22:05] <ilopezdan> cannot excute binary file
[22:12] <ilopezdan> is there a channel for firefox support?
[22:13] <ilopezdan> i lost my browser. :(
[22:14] <nthykier> not sure
[22:14] <nthykier> I do not actually use Ubuntu :/
[22:15] <ilopezdan> lol
[22:15] <ilopezdan> hey thanks btw
[22:15] <nthykier> you are welcome
[22:16] <ilopezdan> now... i gotta rage.
[22:16] <nthykier> h yeah, you can also become root user by using "su -"
[22:17] <nthykier> however most Ubuntu machines I have met do not allow it
[22:17] <nthykier> but considering you do not have sudo, then hopefully su - works
[22:17] <nthykier> (both has to be run from a terminal - just in case)
