I need to install “mplayer” in ubuntu which requires newer version of libc6 since there are a lot of dependent files on libc6 i cannot remove it how do install later version of libc6
i have installed eclipse and android SDK . but for run android emulator.
I need android platform 2.1 . is there a way to download the platform and use .
If there is a way can u give me link to download site of Android platform 2.1
I have copied jdk-6u20-linux-i586.bin to my system (from another system) and then I tried doing the following steps:
apt-cache search jdk
sudo su
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre
After doing this, I got stuck at ‘Configuring-jre’ and so I closed the terminal.
I again tried doing the same steps as mentioned above, but then I am getting the following error:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
Please suggest me what to do, I am trying to install jdk on my system for the last 1 week.
Please suggest me the solution in very simple break up steps as I am new to java and Linux.
My system runs on Ubuntu 9.1.
If u have an internet connection. u can use the synaptic package manager in applications tab on top left corner and search for
open-jdk 6 and check it for installation . it will automatically get all dependent files .
after installing open jdk u can use ” eclipse “
I do not have open-jdk6 in the synaptic package manager, that’s the reason I had to copy it from other system.
Can you please add me on gmail howaboutsagar@gmail.com so that I can get your help via chat, if you don’t mind.
Download a dvd of ubuntu it will have open-jdk, u only have to select it while installing its in development module.
or
open-jdk6 should definitely be there in synaptic package manager its an online repository for ubuntu.
search for it in highlighting “all” in left.
i some how fell u are not searching for it correctly.
I cannot access my gmail account in office so i am sorry.

I downloaded sun java and install fakeroot and Install java-package in Debian
Now install the package java-package which provides the make-jpkg utility for creating the .deb archive of the Java installation file/archive. Execute
#apt-get install java-package
Create the Java deb package with make-jpkg
Create the deb package of the Sun or Blackdown Java self-extracting .bin archive, or the IBM Java .tgz archive by using make-jpkg. In this example the Java 1.5.0 JRE is used. Note to execute this as a normal user by using fakeroot (which was installed as a dependency of java-package) as make-jpkg cannot be executed as root. Also execute the command from the same directory the JRE/JDK .bin/.tgz file is in, or provide the full or relative path to the JRE/JDK .bin/.tgz file.
fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
I have a system with no internet connection . how to i install openjdk i need it for eclipse. I have downloaded the dependent files but some of the files seem to be inter dependent, one requiring other so there is a dead lock .
Download the JDK from SUN (Oracle) to your external drive, copy and install it manually in your system.
Hi,

Thanks ,
I need a bloated eclipse, with plugins for silverlight and android as i don’t have internet connection . how do i do this
why not just copy all the files to your external drive and plug into your server? I used to do this in my so called “secure server” with no internet connection allow.
Can you please provide me the link to download jdk 6 for Ubuntu 9.10.
Kindly provide me the exact path to download the same.
Also if you could provide me with simple installation steps as I am new to this OS and environment.
I also have to install Eclipse on the same OS.
Follow this guide, apt-get will do. Or you can install it manually – http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-install-java-jdk-on-fedora-core-linux/
Can you please tell me how to install it manually, if I do not have internet on my system?
Please mention the steps in detail as I am new to both, Ubuntu and JDK.
or you can change to root permissions using sudo su and then you can install what ever you want.
rahul@rahul-desktop:~$ apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Obviously, you do not have enough permission. Please ask your admin/root to assign you the proper permission.
I have succeeded in installing eclipse with android plug ins in windows like the way u said thank you.I will try and do the same in Linux.
use
sudo su command for root permissions , then u can install

Here is my suggestion
1) apt-get find to find another jdk version (1.5 may be)
http://www.mkyong.com/linux/find-a-package-with-apt-command-ubuntu/
2) Download JDK from sun and install manually < -- 100% working method

Hi,
I got following message when trying the command:
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
–>
Configuring sun-java6-bin
Operating System Distributor License for Java v1.1(DLJ)
and it’s stuck there. I cannot enter anything.
Any idea? Thanks.
try pressing tab. and then when ok is selected, press enter
The first line should have been
1) <your-mirror-site>/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/
Java 6 Update 11 on e.g. 8.04?
1) /ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/
2) download all *6-11-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and *6-11-0ubuntu1_all.deb
6-11-0ubuntu1_i386.deb packages
3) sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Thanks lonny27
better set your java alternative to be sure you are using the correct java/jdk version:
>update-java-alternatives –list
java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
>sudo update-java-alternatives –set java-6-sun
and don’t link java_home to a minor version because that will break after an update, better link to the symbolic link to the latest version
>export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun”
Thanks soma, your tips is useful !
hi akumum, Vatar
nice tips, thanks for extra info
There is also
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
in ubuntu its much easier, just do:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extrasthis install everything that is needed like media codecs for mp3s and the such, as well as java.
