Ubuntu 9.10 java issue? Fixed!

[Peter Florance]

hmm I wonder if Java has changed. I upgraded to 9.10 and when I try to launch it from terminal and get:

Code: Select all

peter@peter-laptop:~/apps/TunerStudio$ sh TunerStudio.sh
Jar Name:TunerStudioMS.jar
peter@peter-laptop:~/apps/TunerStudio$ 

MegaLogViewer is also dead.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

In a Terminal try:
java -version

In a Terminal try:

I did that, but can't recall what it said.
Laptop's at work; I'll do it first thing tomorrow and post

Thanks!

For reference, I'm using Sun's Java from http://www.java.com on my Linux desktop (and similar on my Windows laptop)

Desktop:

Code: Select all

java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Yes, it looks like you aren't running on Sun's Java.
In your package manager sun-java should be listed. Install that.
With the latest Open Java I have actually gotten TS to work, but it was unusably slow.

[Peter Florance]

Hmm still not there

Code: Select all

peter@peter-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk

try
$ which java

Maybe you need to link the sun-java into your path

I get:

Code: Select all

$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ ls -l /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2007-05-11 23:06 /usr/bin/java -> /usr/java/latest/bin/java

Fixed!
I had to do this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Edit: It looks like you beat me


It looks like sun-java is installed, but doesn't seem to be set as the default.

Running this command should make Sun the default:

Code: Select all

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

If not, there is more info here check out this link, in the section "Setup the default Java version", it tells how to check the default java.

Thanks Phil and James!
Editing /etc/jvm didn't do it (seemed to be suggested by another site). I had to run sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun to get the correct java to be used.

Nice to be back and up to date

Now if I can just fix my broken bluetooth stack...
