Need help with installing java and java plugin on ubuntu 8.10


Recommended Posts

hey e1 hope all is having a good day.i havent been back to ubuntu for a couple of months and i reinstalled this morning can someone help me get java installed and the plugin for firefox. looks like it has changed you cant install java6 anymore thru synaptics looks like its called icedtea6 i play on pogo.com and it uses java plugin if anyone could help me at all ty ty

Icedtea is the Open Source implementation, if I recall correctly.

I have had better success with Sun's Java.

Once you browse to a site that uses Java, you should be prompted for a plugin. I believe it will present the options for you (IcedTea, Sun, whatever else). Click Sun and apply.

Should be all you need to do.

ok the apt-get install sun-java6-plugin doest work this is what i get

randall@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate

randall@ubuntu:~$

Did you make sure that the 'restricted' and the 'multiverse' repositories are added to your /etc/apt/sources.list (see the article I linked to for details)?

yes i did

when i do this java -version it looks like it shows 2 javas

randall@ubuntu:~$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_0"

IcedTea6 1.3.1 (6b12-0ubuntu6.1) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode)

Remove the IcedTea plug-in, then install the sun-java6-plugin.

ok everything to do with java has been removed java -version no longer show anything i made sure the sources where updated with what that site said that you gave me, did apt-get update and it updated then i rean the command to install and i get this still

randall@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin

First, so an apt-get update. Then, use synaptic to find sun java packages and install them. Be sure you went to Options;repository and enabled multiverse, restricted and commercial, apparently, you didnt. Then, update the package list again. They are there, even on jaunty (9.04).

ok i would like to update this thread thanks all for the help guys but i feel like a blonde lol i found out that im using the 64bit version of 8.10 and i recently upgraded to jaunty 9.04 to test and play around so here is the site that i found out how to install java and flash for my computer i did lots of googling java and flash for amd64 so now every thing is working and no problem :D

    • Microsoft Defender XDR gets TITAN-powered Security Copilot recommendations by Paul Hill Guided Response, a Copilot-powered capability in Microsoft Defender XDR that guides analysts through step-by-step investigation and response flows, is getting a big upgrade with the introduction of TITAN recommendations. With TITAN, Microsoft wants to give security analysts real-time, threat-intel-driven recommendations so they can better prepare against attacks, before they even happen. TITAN is an adaptive threat intelligence graph that uses data from first and third-party telemetry and employs guilt-by-association techniques to warn analysts about unknown IP addresses that could pose a threat, due to their association with known malicious addresses. The primary benefit of TITAN is that security analysts get faster warnings about potential threats before they even have a chance to cause a problem. TITAN is an enhancement of Security Copilot Guided Response, rather than a replacement to it. With this extra tool, security analysts will be able to better keep up with evolving threats. Understanding TITAN's AI-powered threat intelligence The Redmond giant said that TITAN “represents a new wave of innovation” built upon its threat intelligence capabilities that introduces a real-time, adaptive threat intelligence graph. It takes telemetry from first and third-party sources such as Microsoft Defender for Threat Intelligence, Microsoft Defender for Experts, and customer feedback. The graph uses guilt-by-association techniques to mark unknown devices as threats, if they’re associated with known malicious entities. This gives security analysts a window of opportunity to take action and prevent harm. To identify potential threats, Microsoft uses a semi-supervised label propagation technique that assigns reputation scores to nodes based on the score of their neighbors. These reputation scores allow Microsoft’s unified security operation platform to implement containment and remediation actions via attack disruption. Practical impact and future outlook The new TITAN suggestion now appears within Guided Response as triage and containment recommendations. When a suspicious IP is detected, a Guided Response recommendation is automatically generated. These can help security analysts deal with various threats including IP addresses, IP ranges, and email senders. Microsoft said in early testing its TITAN recommendations have shown good results. TITAN boosted Guided Response triage accuracy by 8%, it reduced the time needed to investigate and respond to incidents, and its explainable recommendations gave analysts more confidence in the actions they take. As threats become more sophisticated, Microsoft’s TITAN will help to tackle threats before they even become an issue.
    • China wants the tech... if they were to invade, TSMC would destroy it's fabs and other critical information first. Plus, you can bet they have backups stored NOT in Taiwan.

    • You totally missed what I was saying. Yes, the DHCP server software is largely unchanged since the Windows 2000 Server version. My statement was somewhat of a joke, but I was saying that *IF* the DHCP server was written using today's Windows 11 *ERA* design philosophy, it would be a mess. Yes, even on the latest version of Windows Server it still uses the old software, but that wasn't really the point.
    • Yeah no, they are nowhere at this same level. Whatsapp did survive a lot of time being "free" it is just meta/facebook wanting more money.
