Hiya, last night finally we managed to have a time to install Ubuntu
11.10 Oneiric Ocelot in our machine (actually one netbook, one laptop,
and one desktop). What we did after that
other than trying all background images and themes??
We try to recover every applications we have at previous ubuntu
version. Actually me (This's Al speaking) have a concern to installing
JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Since 10.04, as far as I know, JRE from
Sun is not included in official repository anymore. but we still can
using archive.canonical.com partner repository in order to install it.
Aaaaand, my prediction is right. Up 'til today archive.canonical.com didn't provide Sun JRE for oneiric, thus forcing us to search another way from reading ancient race fossils DNA. (Too much for just installing JRE, just use Google you know). Good for you who lazy enough to use google but lucky enough to drift aimlessly to our blog, we are here to provide you with the information.
We will installing JRE using binary file, and this tutorial only works for 32-bit linux especially ubuntu 11.10, so if you are using almighty-DOS just go away then. Firstly, you can download the binary file here
While you're waiting for the file to completely downloaded, open your terminal please, and we will work as root. Create the workplace in /opt, just copy paste command below
sudo mkdir -p /opt/java/32bit
Move your downloaded files (jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin) there, and change the permission so the file is executable.
sudo chmod 755 /opt/java/32bit/jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin
Change your current directory to /opt/java/32bit, and execute the file using ./jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin
Wait 'til the process is finished, and now we will tell your system to installing our new java version
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/java/32bit/jre1.6.0_27/bin/java" 1
And finally you'll need to tell again the system that our workplace is a default path for JRE
sudo update-alternatives --set java /opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_27/bin/java
Just like that, and you can finally run java app in your oneiric. For the test, buy Minecraft sandbox games, I recommed it to you. (Well, playing Minecraft is my purpose in the first place to install JRE :p)
