I recently installed Linux Mint 9 and am having problems with an application that requires Java Web Starter. I was able to find and install it on my computer running Ubuntu 10.01, but can't seem to locate Java Web Starter or make it work on my Linux Mint 9 system. I tried the Java site but couldn't get it to work.
View 4 RepliesI've just started using Linux and am having troubles getting various drivers to work/install i've tried to install an nvidia 32bit linux graphics driver which fails once you right click it, display/run it and the progress bar gets to the end and just comes up red saying failed (can't remember what it exactly says)
i've also tried to install my pci wireless driver, the readme that came with it is very confusing, i tried to run the autorun.sh file, which doesnt seem to-do anything. i think i got somewhere by putting in code to the terminal which i got from the readme, but no luck.
Also is their a chipset driver i have to install? as with windows, when my comp starts all the fans come on at 100% then software throttles them once in windows, wheras with ubuntu their just 100% all the time.
i've tried looking for other threads to cure my problem with no luck. But did notice alot of people ask to see lspci results, here it is..

i just installed eclipse, the newewst version from the developer website of course, because the one out of the software center is more than outdated.
Now i have the problem that i don't have any icon in the starter. When i start eclipse i can right click on the icon and make it stick to the startet forever but it has no icon and i can't change it.
So my question is now: How do i add one to the starter? And i don't want to use the desktop right clicking and create a new starter variation of the solution. Firefox has no .desktop file for it's icon in the starter either.
P.S.: For the futurue version a right click on the starter->add or right click on and icon->edit
To understand, I have two partitions in my hard disk laptop, one for data and the other one for windows xp and I also have a extern usb hard disk, this one for ubuntu. What I want to do is to boot Windows with GRUB starter without having to connect the USB hard disk (the hard disk where is ubuntu installed) to laptop. Because when I try to do it without USB hard disk connected, my laptop say "ERROR" and I would like don't be changing from grub starter to windows starter and from windows starter to grub starter each time I want to be with linux or windows isn't the usb disk. Is there any way to relocate the grub files to the internal disk laptop and start up Windows without the external USB hard disk (that has Ubuntu installed). Can I do that all necessary to carry out when I'll start up my laptop (for start up with linux and windows) be found in the data partition laptop hard disk and don't be found in the usb disk? How can I do that replace?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu in the computer that is linked up to my television in my lounge. I want to make it so that I can control it using remote droid from my android mobile phone - turns the phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I tested it on my Windows PC in the office and had it up and running in under a minute. I've been working on Ubuntu now for over an hour and am getting fed up with it. The installation instructions are the same. You just download a folder called RemoteDroidServer and then double click 'RemoteDroidServer.jar in Windows this just opens the application and you're ready to go. In Ubuntu, rather than opening the application, it opens a folder full of files.
I'm guessing this is because Java isn't properly installed on Ubuntu. I tried to install it from the same website I used for Java on Windows, using these instructions:

However, there is absolutely no way I can get them to work, pretty much every step is a massive problem, so I gave up.
I then went to synaptic package manager to see what I could install from there, however, there are hundreds of packages that come up.
how I can install Java so that when I open the .jar file, it runs the application - as with Windows.
I would like to run linux on windows 7 starter. Google tells me that I have to upgrade at least to home premium to have windows virtual pc, but that is not for free..besides I don t need xp, i just want to run linux..So I would like to know if there is another way, a free program/virtual machine for win 7 to run linux on.

But ideally i would want the pc to boot up as Windows then say if i hit a certain key on bootup it would swap it over to Linux from windows before it starts to load?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Firefox 3.6 from the Mozilla website, and installed Java Runtime and Java Browser Plugin from Ubuntu Software Center, but Java will not work within Firefox, it works with Firefox 3.5.7 installed from the repositories, but I really want to use Firefox 3.6. I've even tried UbuntuZilla, without any success. This is annoying as I visit a lot of Java enabled websites.
View 9 Replies View RelatedProblem : Cannot get Firefox to work with Java
Firefox version : 3.6
Firefox Plugins : Java not showing in Firefox plugins
Operating system : Ubuntu 9.10 (Linux)
Java install :
Instruction : I have tried to follow the instruction from the lnks but still cannot get it to work.
Links: [URL]
Right now I'm running Firefox 3.6.4. In ~/.mozilla/plugins I have a link to the Java plugin. I'm using Java version 6 update 20.
For some reason, Firefox will not acknowledge that I have the Java plugin installed. It won't show up under Add-ons > Plugins, and if I go to a web page that requires Java, it says I don't have it installed.
I've even moved my ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, allowing Firefox to create a new empty preferences directory, and Java still won't show up.
However, Java shows up just fine in Firefox 3.5. How do I get Java enabled?
I have tried everything according to the instructions.
My packages:
Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep java6
ii sun-java6-bin 6-15-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture depend
ii sun-java6-fonts
[Code].....
When I look at my content plugins in Firefox and the list of IcedTea plugins is 29 items long. Is this my problem or do Java Applets just not work in Lynx?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan someone tell me what the architecture of iMac Intel Core 2 Duo is? I am trying to figure out which of the following images given on the webpage below to download:[URL]..This is the list:

I think there are two different images (namely i386 and ia64) for intel-based systems, right? Which one should I download for my Intel Core 2 Duo? Is this a 64-bit architecture? Should I use amd64?
I am semi new to the embedded linux scene. I dont use UNIX much but I have played around with it and know how powerful it is. Currently just finished a degree in Computer System Engineering in the UK and have a whole summer break to mess around doing something. So I have decided to start a project I've been planning.
Starting the project, first of all I need to find a good handheld system I can work on. This is where I'll be importing the code onto/applications. At the moment all I want it to do is boot and run a distro of linux, but in the future I am going to be working on making it 3/4G and wirelessly able.
What I need:
-Size is roughly around the same size as a ipod maybe, or smaller.
-Needs a nice screen, nothing massive but needs to be easily readable.
-Text entry is needed, but im sure a few buttons can do it.. keypad would be really really nice though.
-A 3.5mm audio jack (or something similar to plug headphones into) is needed or it needs to have the capiblity to install this.
-Wifi/3G support, needs to be able to support these in the future or able for me to hack them in.
-Rechargeable powersource.
-Cost, nothing mega expensive !

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora 12 and after downloading and running the Java Sound Demo I get exceptions. If I run just a vanilla Java program that plays a .wav file it runs silently with no sound and no exceptions.
Every other app seems to play sound. I also took some advice from this thread in the Ubuntu forums which almost seemed to work. (Installing aoss got rid of the initial exceptions in the sound demo but I still hear nothing when I play.) I'm getting frustrated by the individual hoops I have to go through to eek sound out of my speakers when running Java apps on Linux platforms!
