Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu installation notes

Small notes to Debian / Ubuntu / Kubuntu users having problems installing Jajuk:

Contents

Install mplayer and Java

We need java 1.6 and above. Not sure if you already have Java ? Check this link.

$ sudo apt-get install mplayer sun-java6-jre

Configure the default Java

We need to configure it at the default java (selection 6, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java, in the example below)

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java   

There are 6 alternatives which provide `java'.

  Selection    Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
          1    /etc/alternatives/kaffe-system/bin/java
          2    /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0
          3    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
          4    /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
 +        5    /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
*         6    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 6
Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'.
