Everything is ok, I could do all the updates normally and the Devede is working.

Hello DarkSoul_DST.

Did you have Download the NEW package of Ubuntu Tweak?
Look in the Ubuntu Tweak forum here, viewtopic.php?f=68&t=4587Download the package and install it on your machine first.
Then things must work for you with Ubuntu Tweak.
Just please pay Attention to the problems with the bugs on the Ubuntu Tweak at this time.

At the up top right of the window you need to ALLOW the window.
Then you will be redirect to the install process.
About Ubuntu Tweak please upload images from your process there so I will Guide you with it.

Thank you.

Warning
OK, this is similar to Ubuntu-Tweak. The software Bleachbit, used for cleaning-to save HDD space (I need to get an HDD with more space). Bleachbit too, will bork Ultimate Edition 2.6 similar to Ubuntu-Tweak. Strange that this does not, so far, happen on other Ubuntu based distros.

Hi there. I have another software related issue. I have been, for some time now, not using Firefox (FF2.0+ loved it, since 3.0+slow, resource heavy, memory leaks-blah blah). I use currently Chromium (lighter, quicker+has addons/plugins too) and Opera 10.10(very light, quick is a understatement, even without turbo mode turned on). YMMV. When I uninstall Firefox on Ultimate Edition 2.6, the login screen reverts to an almost stock login screen of Ubuntu 10.04 Peace.

Is there an option to completely remove OpenJdk in order to install Sun Java…
I tried to remove it, but synaptic says it will remove the entire UE2.6 and many other java related apps... well I did it, and it removed a lot of apps, when I try to reinstall ie. entagged, synaptic wants to reinstall openjdk???

TIA

Hi D1Knight. I suspect it has to do with ubufox being removed along with firefox, it would have been better to just not use FF if you don't like it.

Hi spsf, and welcome to the forum.

I don't know why it did it. I have one 32 bit install that did not remove those things when removing openjdk, and another that did want to remove them. So here's what I've come up with so you can use the sun version of java while still having openjdk installed.

According the the release notes for Lucid Sun Java moved to the Partner repository.:
And this will enable that repo.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

I seem to get the most recent sun java version with the medibuntu repo. enabled so let's enable it since it wont hurt to have it enabled.

Code: Select all

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

That included the update command now to just upgrade packages.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade

Now open Synaptic
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
Click on Reload then search for openjdk and any of these that are not installed mark them for installation, any that are installed mark them for re-installation.

then search for sun-java and do the same thing with these

Click Apply and close Synaptic when finished and run:

Code: Select all

sudo update-java-alternatives -l

Which should return something like this

java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Now openjdk is set as default and we want to set it to suns version with this

Code: Select all

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

Hopefully it wont return anything which means it worked without any errors.
Then to reinstall entagged and ultimate-edition-2.6 and a lib required by sun java 6 but it was replaced with a newer version that it doesn't work well with.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install entagged ultimate-edition-2.6 libstdc++5

Close firefox and reboot then test it here by clicking on the Verify java version button:
Sun Java Test Page
It should say this

Congratulations!
You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 20).

Hopefully all of this will go without a hitch.
