Head meets desk
« on: 9 March 2006, 22:04 »
Ok, so I've got Ubuntu 5.10 installed, figured out most of my issues with AV and got it themed but now to get Azureus installed, say what you want about Java apps being slow, I Azureus does things the way I like them.

Heres the problem tho, so I go to the azureus site, it says what it always does, instal the latest version of Java, so I grab thatbut the .bin file it's downloaded in doeesn't know what app to open it in, I tried the ones I've got installed (Archive manager and Ark neither did shit) so I checked the Ubuntu wiki, and they have a page on how to install Azureus and the required Java files. But guess what? The files they link you to don't exist anymore!

I've tried activatin the other repository pages for Synaptic, and downloaded everything that looks like it's part of the JRE install but none of it is up to date, thus neither of the recent versions of Azureus will install, they both say that the Java version is too old to run it.

Yes, in linux, I still have little idea what exactly I'm doing and yes, I've been wantonly installing things like I only have access to a highspeed connection for 2 days then I get nothing but dialup for the rest of time but I don't think I've broken anything yet.:macos::tux:

Download java here:

http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp

Instructions on installing java are here: (you must install java ...) (note which version you downloaded the RPM.bin or just the bin) (Files with the .bin ending are executable ...)

http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting

Then install Azureus ... you may need to open some ports for it to work ... for IPtables the commands are

# /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 6881:6999 -j ACCEPT
# /sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

as root

It might be an executable program. If it doesn't have the execute bit set, set it with your file manager or with 'chmod +x blah.bin'.
IIRC NVIDIA's drivers come in executable .bin files.

Yup, When i downloaded the UT2004 demo for FC4, i had to right click on the .bin and change a setting to allow it to execute

always a pain in the ass that as most editors reset the execution bit on bash scripts.

not possible ... I installed it and there was no such conflict ... did you remove jre or java ... to remove it and then manually install a newer version type:

yum remove jre

as root, and it will work without conflict ... the only conflict occurs if you try to remove java ... a bad idea
