Hi carolyn crownover,

First, open your terminal apps (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), then type this command:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java-6-bin sun-java-6-jre sun-java-6-fonts sun-java-6-plugin

If you're already install them, try to visit this URL to check whether your java plugin on your firefox is already installed.
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

Have a nice try, dude... cheers...

Please note this is the new error message that I am receiving:There was a problem with the command for this terminal: Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)

Hi Carolyn Crownover,

Please see this solution for the last problem:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/60506

-Luky-

Luky: I cannot do #1 because there is nothing that indicates Sun jave 5 plugin packages. I cannot input something that is not there. So now what?

#2 The system will not allow me to do the following:First, open your terminal apps (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), then type this command:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java-6-bin sun-java-6-jre sun-java-6-fonts sun-java-6-plugin

When I tried the above for #2 this is the second error message:There was a problem with the command for this terminal: Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)

This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what to do? Carolyn

If you're already install them, try to visit this URL to check whether your java plugin on your firefox is already installe

Carolyn, I will answer #2:

#2: There's a problem with your terminal, isn't it? In order to solve it, I gave you the solution from the URL before.
"I figured out that somehow the option for "Run a custom command instead of my shell" became clicked under the "Title and Command" tab in "Profile Preferences". I hope this helps others with this strange deal." (from: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/60506)

My questions is what ubuntu version do you using now?
Cheerss...
-Luky-

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and no the problem is not fixed and the question is not answered. Carolyn

Ctrl+alt+F2 and you will get CLI.Type

sudo apt-get install sun-java-6-bin sun-java-6-jre sun-java-6-fonts sun-java-6-plugin

How many times do I have to say this Sun Java is not listed, so how can I install something that isn't even listed. Sun Java is not one of the choices listed for installation. carol

Please, copy and paste here your sources.list file. It is at /etc/apt/sources.list

Is anyone listening, or are you guys just shooting off the top of your heads. This is an ongoing serious problems, and one of which no one is providing a solution for. All I want to know is how to install java, have someone review the list of my error messages that I am receiving and tell me how to solve the problem. Stop saying question answered, when the question is not answered nor has the problem be resolved.

Well, you have to explain more about your problem. Do you want to programming in Java to develope applications or just view java applets in your favourite browser?

This URL will explain how to install Java.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation

Please review all of the questions I have asked in the past. Then review this error message I continue to receive after applying the information you have given. My question is how do I resolve the issue?

 This product does not support the web browser you are using. To log in you must use one of the supported browsers. For a list of supported browsers, click the system and browser requirements link below.

If we review the above error message when I try to login with my student information, just tell me in plain English how to resolve the problem. Thank you

I was specific in my questions: I also supplied you with the questions and your responses and the problem is yet resolved. and this is the error message:

 This

Now how do I resolve this message so that i can gain access to using Java, that is all I have been asking.

Carolyn,
before installing Java including plugins for webbrowser, please close Firefox.
Please open Synaptic (package manager) in -> system administration
Search for 'icedtea' and openjdk-6-jre. I'ts open source, I've used it in Hardy and was happy with it.
If you right click to mark those packages for installation they'll suggest others because of dependencies, install everything which is offered.
Start Firefox afterwards and check Extras -> Addons -> TAB Plugins if the icedtea plugin is there.
Test with this site, (javascripting) has to be enabled. It will tell you, that you have an older version blabla, but nothing to worry.
http://www.java.com/de/download/help/testvm.xml

btw. you may search OpenOffice -> preferences -> for Java and enable openjdk also there, it worked for me in Hardy and Karmic, hence no need for sun-java.

Sam: Thank you so much I am moving a step closer. You are the only one that has given me something to work with. I found icedtea and performed the download and this screen popped up. Choose a Cache directory then it stated Netx open source JNLP Client NETX needs a location for storing Cache and then it states Cache directory/tmp

Now I need to know what to do next. Thanks so much, Carolyn
I will await your response
