Repost, this time without tags that don't work (sorry!): You can apply a workaround to install the new JRE which is meant for Karmic, in Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty.
This workaround is for 32-bit Ubuntu only! You have to adapt it for a 64 bit system. 1. Manually download these three files from Multiverse: Bin: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-bin_6-15-1_i386.deb JRE: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb Plugin: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-plugin_6-15-1_i386.deb 2. Put these files in your home folder, don't leave them on the desktop. 3. Applications - Accessories - Terminal Execute the following terminal commands (use copy/paste to place them in the terminal): sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-bin_6-15-1_i386.deb sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb Press Enter. Your password will remain invisible, not even dots, this is normal. and then: sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-plugin_6-15-1_i386.deb Press Enter. 4. Ready. :) Bad that we need a workaround... We shouldn't need one. The package maintainer isn't active enough. :( -- version 1.6.0_15 is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409559 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
