    Hi,

    I cannot get the Java installed. I had already installed Java, but is did not work, so I removed that, and tried to install it by using the information on this page. Here’s what I got:

    I had removed the previous Java installation (same release), as it did not work. Apparently I did not know how to remove all, what should I do? I really need the Java to work as there are several sites that I need to access that require working Java. I have earlier removed IcedTea, so as of now there is none working Java on my system. Please, help. I am a newbie, I have no clue what to do.

      check your install Java directory.
      please post the output of :

      ls /usr/java

      if this directry is empty , then download the java from http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=29209
      [root@localhost ~]# chmod +x jre-6u13-linux-i586-rpm.bin
      You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
      [root@localhost ~]# ./jre-6u13-linux-i586-rpm.bin
      Sun Microsystems, Inc. Binary Code License Agreement

      for the JAVA SE RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT (JRE) VERSION 6 and
      JAVAFX RUNTIME VERSION 1

      now
      check if java is installed with
      java -version

      (you will see like this)
      [root@localhost ~]# java -version
      java version “1.6.0_0″
      IcedTea6 1.3.1 (6b12-Fedora-EPEL-5) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
      OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode)

      now how to add java to your browser (firefox)
      Create this :

      mkdir .mozilla/plugins

      then
      [root@localhost ~]# cd .mozilla/plugins/
      [root@localhost plugins]# ls
      [root@localhost plugins]# ln -s /usr/java/
      default/ jre1.6.0_13/ latest/

      then
      [root@localhost plugins]# ln -s /usr/java/latest/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
      [root@localhost plugins]# ls
      libjavaplugin_oji.so

      Now it should be working .
      for any other question please post it on the forum . Thanks

        Can I ask a really newbie question?

        You said:

        “check your install Java directory”

        how do I do that? What to type, and where?

        “now how to add java to your browser (firefox)
        Create this :”

        What should I create, and how? I mean if I want to add java to my browser?

        Please help; I must admit that I need more or less copy-paste advice on these things, as Linux is really new to me. All advice is appreciated, no matter how small.

        • lion

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!

If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.

Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.

And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*

Just some thoughts about Java.

OpenJDK7 are now THE Java implementation and Oracles are just one more of the reimplementations. So you should not need to install Oracles version.

And you really don’t need to remove the OpenJDK7 installation to also have Sun Java JDK 7. Just run

sudo update-java-alternatives –list

and select which java you want to have as default java of all that is installed.

And if you want to run a program with one special version, check manpage for java-wrappers how to do that.

man java-wrappers

so you can run java program rasterizer like this:

JAVA_FLAVOR=openjdk rasterizer
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx80m rasterizer

JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/share/

etc

Yes, it is. If you are a “5 years old schizophrenic kid” who can’t restrict what effects to use and what to not use. It’s actually usefull, if you can restrain yourself.
