So you should do what it says: Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ and click on the "Download" button next to "Java SE 6 Documentation". In the new page, click on the 'Accept License Agreement' radio button. Now click on the package you want (English or Japanese) and save it somewhere in your home directory or on your Desktop. Open a new terminal emulator and (assuming you've downloaded the package to your Desktop), do: Code: sd c Dstpjk6dczp/m uo p eko/d--o.i tp

You can then continue with the installation (by pressing enter in the terminal emulator with apt-get/aptitude running, or Synaptic): the installer doesn't give a lot of feedback, but you should see something similar to this: Code: /m/d--o.i hsbe upce adisald tpjk6dczp a en nakd n ntle.

Which means everthing went well. You don't have to remove the package from /tmp yourself, it'll get deleted on your next boot anyway. __________________ "When in doubt, use brute force." -- Ken Thompson

So, I know that Java 1.6.0 is installed... and when I run "sudo update-alternatives --config java", it is set to the following: Code: * 1 /s/i/v/aa6snjebnjv. urlbjmjv--u/r/i/aa

So, Java should be configured properly. However, java will NOT work in firefox. When I look in "about NOTHING is listed. Any ideas?

#10 Re: HowTo:How to Install Java in Ubuntu/Kubuntu I installed the sun-java6-jre and -jdk packages, but when I type java -version I get Quote: The program 'java' can be found in the following packages: * j2re1.4 * gij-4.1 * kaffe * jamvm * java-gcj-compat * cacao * sablevm Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled bash: java: command not found I also tried the update-alternatives thing, it didn't help. The javac command seems to work just fine, though.
