Problems installing Java
I am running ubuntu 8.10, I just converted from windows due to alot
of problems with the windows OS.
Any way I am having problems installing Java.
I have tried both System>Admin>synaptic package manager
and Applications>Add/Remove.
The Synaptic route automatically gave me this error when I tried to open it,But the Add/Remove route only gave me the error when I tried to install.
So I tried using terminal to install and I still got the same error.
"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
Then I ran the command like it said and got this
"hardcore@ubuntu:~$ dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege"
I am not sure how to fix this neither are any of my friends who have
been using ubuntu longer than I have. Someone help please?
