If you are trying to install java do the following.

Try this from the terminal>>>Application>>>under accessories>>> find the terminal. and copy and paste this command in the terminal. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
This should do it.

Hope this helps

When I click to Terminal mode, the following appears.

artlim66@artlim66-desktop:~$

I proceed to issue the command as per your recommendation. All Java related files are all created in the artlim66 directory instead of the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

I tried to copy the files over in the file brower modes, but Ubuntu system do not allow the files copy.

Look forwards to your guidance, Master.

Can you help with this problem?
