I had the same problem with the Java FX download for Mac. Sun does not yet offer a version for Linux, and I read that the Mac version works on Linux for certain things. This might be helpful because anyone can open download the file and test.
Here are some details-- Downloaded from: http://java.sun.com/javafx/downloads/ (the Java FX 1.0 SDK -- Mac) System Version: $uname -r 2.6.24-22-generic $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.1" $ file -s javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 100k $ modinfo hfs filename: /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/kernel/fs/hfs/hfs.ko license: GPL srcversion: 48BC215C66ACB22236BD483 depends: vermagic: 2.6.24-22-generic SMP mod_unload 586 depends: vermagic: 2.6.24-22-generic SMP mod_unload 586 $ modinfo hfsplus filename: /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/kernel/fs/hfsplus/hfsplus.ko license: GPL description: Extended Macintosh Filesystem author: Brad Boyer srcversion: 7BE3BD1CE34152D73C5E734 depends: vermagic: 2.6.24-22-generic SMP mod_unload 586 $ sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg /mnt/ [sudo] password for skp: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so p$ sudo mount -t hfs -o loop javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg /mnt/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $ dmesg | tail [ 6320.525539] CPU1 attaching NULL sched-domain.

I haven't tried on Intrepix Ibex yet. I also just now noticed that the file type says bzip instead of what OMG posted. I hope this helps. I just thought having a file that everyone could test with would help. -- Can't mount hfs CD-ROM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
