Java 2 Runtime Environment
I need to download Java 2 Runtime Environment, where can i get it?
|
How about at the java website?:
http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp Funny that they call it java 2---the files are actually 1.5 + something |
I downloaded the Linux self extracting as opposed to the .rpm, Ubuntu doesn't read .rpm's does it?
|
Ubuntu can use .rpm through alien, OR you could install the official ubuntu packages, such as sun-java6-jre. (This is the 1.6 runtime environment)
|
this is what i'm getting on the install in a root terminal
root@kevanr:/home/kevan# cd jre.bin bash: cd: jre.bin: Not a directory root@kevanr:/home/kevan# |
I have to have the Java 2 Runtime-I need it for a program I have to get.
|
You might need to execute the installer, though I still recommend use of the apt repositories.

I am trying to get alien-and this is the page I am following:

You're mixing two sections. Just use the first part, the one about " How to install & use .rpm to .deb Converter (Alien)"

And--it is in the Ubuntu repositories (On my Mepis, it was installed by default Have you looked using Synaptic (in the GUI) |
OK-it seems it was in my synaptic package manager. Is J2R another program that runs without you seeing it? Oh, and rickh, why did you think I wasn't paying attention to people's suggestions? I was down and out all yesterday with strep throat.

rickh read you as ignoring other posts---I read as simply that you were struggling to understand. Not to worry.... |
OK-so my problem is, I installed a program for dial-up through a company called netzero. They have the file for Linspire in a .deb format. See this other thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=532071
In the link to the Ubuntu forum, it said that I need to have J2R installed to be able to see/run it. I have to have this figured out by Saturday... |
I repeat: install sun-java5-jre. (This is Sun's official java 2, version 1.5 runtime environment)
|
Matir-the reason I did not follow your suggestion is because you did not explain how to. If you would like to take the time and explain it to me, I would be very grateful.

Maybe Matir did not give complete details, but--as a group--we have given you what you need. Perhaps post a summary of what you have done, tried, etc. and exactly what questions remain. |
I located it in the Synaptic Package Manager and installed it, there is no icon for it in my menu or anything-so my question is, does it run without me starting it or what? Like I have said, I need a netzero file to run, and it says it need J2R-will it work now?
|
OK-thank all of you for your help! Finally the netzero setup is working! Is there a way I can copy J2R to my boss's computer to set it up there?
|
The reason there is no icon is that you would not run jre as a standalone app.
If you want the plug-in to work in your browser--eg Firefox--you may need to set up a link. Quote:
|
Is there anyway to copy the J2R to a disc and transfer it to another computer?
|
Why not just install it in the same way on the other computer?
|
No internet on the other computer-its at work, and what I need J2R for is the Netzero ISP program for dial-up at work.
|
Well, you could download the .deb file from http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/sun-java5-jre and use "dpkg -i" to install it on the other machine.
Because of dependencies, you probably also need http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/sun-java5-bin and http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/misc/java-common. That SHOULD be all. |
sweet! thanks Matir!

Hey-another question, for some reason, I can only open it using command line.
http://www.geocities.com/whitehat4u/netzero.png How can I make a desktop icon? |
Continue of Java 2 Runtime thread
this is a continuation of this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=533415 I can only open netzero using command line. http://www.geocities.com/whitehat4u/netzero.png How can I make a desktop icon? |
Since you are using KDE, right click on the Desktop -> Create New -> Link to Application and use the box that pops up to create you desktop launcher.
|
Right click on the desktop and select "Create Launcher".
|
Since both of your threads pertained to a single issue, I have merged them to help keep the conversation in one place. This will allow users to understand your issue.
|
Ok-um, by the way, I am using gnome, not KDE.
|
problem with launcher-what do I put in command? when I go to my file system, I can't find the netzero installation, but I can open it from command line. any ideas?

oh-OK. The dumb thing is, my command was:
sudo bash /opt/nzclient/runclient.sh lol-I just realized I could just have the launcher open runclient.sh, and it worked. Thanks though! :-) |
