Hey can anbody use Ubuntu (Linux) can explain to me...

If he's using ubuntu, then that's the command he would use, like you said, replace java6 with java5.

He should also have to enter a sudo password.

For some reason this command only works for java6 guys, it won't allow me to do this with 5

Ok, first you want to (and this will sound really complicated, but it is not) install java 6.

Press Alt+F2 and copy and past this into the line:

gksu /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

click run...


You want to click on the "Other Software" tab. The first repository on the list should be "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner" - enable this repository (both lines). Then click "Close" and when prompted, click "Reload".


Then you need to search for sun java in the Ubuntu Software Center or open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin


I think you might only be able to grab java 6 from the repository, but you NEED to make sure that both repositories are selected.

you know after I did all this bullcrap, it seems impossible to get the plug ins working in firefox! I am stuck with this stupid fake open source java 6 that shuts down haven and hearth every time it see some tobacco in game!
