Currently sun java6 packages are working fine now for ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 users

They only provide maverick packages atm. I’ll check on monday again. 😀
Packages are working fine now
They’re working now? I’m still getting no Lucid love.
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-community-team/sun-java6/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Packages not found, error 404.
these packages only for ubuntu 10.10 users
I emailed the team in regards to providing a Lucid build. I’ll follow up if I hear back.
@Mike & David Raid & cYbercOsmOnauT
These are 10.10 packages. Ubuntu 10.04 have had their own packages all the time in the partner repos. You’re looking the wrong place.
Try this:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
I understand that Lucid already has the sun-java6 packages in the partner repos, but it isn’t the latest version.
I received a response and was told that that Lucid packages will be pushed to the PPA soon.
Thanks Zob, that worked a treat. I was confused because the title of this article referenced 10.04 as well as 10.10.
Cheers!
This PPA ready for ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 users now
When I used the 3rd code(sudo apt-get install sun-java6) it said:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package sun-java6
I’m running 10.10
In Ubuntu Software Center There is:
OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime
OpenJDK Java Web Start
IcedTea Java Plugin
Are these the same up to date Java 6?
Been trying to get Pogo.com to work
@Dustin
If you’re looking for the JDK:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
if you’re looking to set up the JRE:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
FWIW,
add-apt-repository is not in the default install that rackspace gives you when you choose 10.10.
you’ll need to do
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
before the others.
sudo apt-get install sun-java6

I am getting above error. I am running Ubuntu10.10
Thanks
Did you remember ALL 3 commands?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6
If you did, what output do you get from the first command?
i tried using ppa:ferrmaroberto/java, but that did not work
i tried your package source, while amazingly it worked
cheers
