JRE In Ubuntu Breezy

[John C Pearson]

I've followed the instruction after downloading the .bin from sun java

fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb

All seemed well (no errors), yet when I open up the speed tests on
dslreports, java isn't loaded. I have restarted the browser as required

Any hints?

Thanks,

John

Hi John ,

Check to make sure the link in /usr/bin is pointing to the right Java
program. If it is pointing to the original java script that comes with
Ubuntu it will not work , you'll have to rename that link and make a new
one. IE: ln -s /lib/jre1.4-XXX/java /usr/bin/java (Something on that
order Of course replace jre1.4-xxx with the location of your installed
sun java and correct jre. )

hope this helps.
Dave

Dave,

thanks - you pointed me in the right direction - here's what finally did
the trick:

root@ubuntu:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins# sudo ln -s
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

whew! what a fight....just for a little plugin!!
