- i used sudo apt-get install sun-java6* awhile back but i got java 6.07 version.
- By coincidence i had a friend visiting tonight with exactly the same question. Ubuntu Hardy and needing the Java 6 update 11
- After quite some fiddling around i've managed to get it working.
- Here are instructions based on the java.com instructions here :
- http://www.java.com/en/download/help...selfextracting
- However those original instructions are :
- 1) Outdated
- 2) Mistaken, because it contains a serious typo!
- (Because there's a space in the symlink part in the end which shouldn't be there)
- ========================
- 1. Open a terminal
- 2. Remove sun-java5-plugin and sun-java6-plugin packages :
- sudo apt-get remove --purge sun-java5-plugin sun-java6-plugin
- 3. Make a new directory called /usr/java :
- sudo mkdir /usr/java
- cd /usr/java/
- Move your downloaded file jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin
- to the /usr/java/ directory
- For example :
- sudo mv /home/steve.b/Desktop/jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin /usr/java/
- 4. Change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable.
- sudo chmod +x /usr/java/jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin
- 5. Verify that you have permission to execute the file. Type:
- ls -l
- 6. Start the installation process.Type:
- sudo sh ./jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin
- This displays a binary license agreement. Read through the
- agreement. Press the spacebar to display the next page. At the end,
- enter yes to proceed with the installation. Type YES to agree to the
- license agreement
- 7. When the installation has completed, you will see the word Done.
- The installation completes
- cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
- sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_11/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
- That's it.
- Restart firefox, and type : about:plugins
