| Java On Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 4:55am On Sep 23, 2006 |
Hey, got an Ubuntu Linux cd from skima, installed on my Gateway amd laptop, no problem. As a Java Developer and a Linux freak, I wanted to get up doing my Java stuff, but problems. OK, I will say some of the problems I encountered. The first was and still is connecting my ubuntu to the internet using my CDMA phone with a usb converter. The second was installing my Java SE development kits (jdk), this i partially did, partial because up till now I still unable to run my java GUI application on ubuntu, the default JVM is still been used by the system. However, I have been able to set my classpath and install Java Enterprise studio and the Gui runs fine. My findings, don't want people to make the same mistakes, i made. Infact, I had to reinstall the ubuntu about four times to get my classpath right. Ok, in ubuntu, unlike other Linux based system, setting your classpath in /etc/profile doesn't work, you have to set it in a file called /etc/environment, also that will be for system level. When I did that, It worked as root only, so i had to repeat it in my .bashrc file, after word, javac and other commands were now available to me (my login name), except tools like policytool that require GUI, even my GUI codes can't run. As I explore more, I will be sharing it also. For people who are able to install Linux, and don't know what to do after wards, just to do the things you do on your window system on the Linux box, if you make any mistake and can not fix it, just do re installation and keep trying, it does't bite but just the time and effort, which you will be happy about later. More to follow. |

Hey, guys, mean nobody is interested in catching up in this new fun in linux. To my last post, Some how i was able to get myself started. Since I install my ubuntu, I have been unable to set up my internet connection for some obvious reasons that am still working on, so i had to download the binary version of jdk1.5.0_08 from sun's website. Now, this is what i did to get my sun's jdk and jre running. I created a system link called jdk to my jdk1.5.0_08 directory, all in my /usr/local directory. Next i edited my .bashrc,/etc/profile and /etc/environment files to reflect my new classpath. Now the funny part, I added my jre/bin as the first entry in the /usr/environment path file. Hulala, when i login with my user name, i can actually see my java pointing to the binary version i installed, now i can compile and run any java programme, was also able to install netbean and java studio. Now the problem, as root, my system still point to the ubuntu jvm. |

@skima Hey, am really down with this ubuntu, infact it's bye to windows for now. Just discovered the support for ubuntu, especially if you have internet access. All you have to do is connect and use the apt-get install command, your package is downloaded and install for you without further configuration. I finally got the chm reader for Linux on ubuntu. I will just add this link for anybody who wants to explore ubuntu or debian linux system. http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper |

@adewaleafolabi No amarok does not come with ubuntu, but you can download it from this site, just choose the one that suite your system. http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download and for installation check http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.3.php or if you are connected to the net, just do this, apt-get install amarok all the installation and configuration will be done for by the apt tool. See ya. |

Hey guys, just want to invite people with interest in ubuntu or linux system. To keep a hook on this page. With my ubuntu box, there is nothing I can't do, with it. Infact the multimedia packages are not more than splendid, so many to mention are available, window media is just a child play. For hardware suport, ubuntu supports plug and play for usb devices including mobile phones. On desktop, alot to choose from, am using flutbox and gnome, hope to install kde an xfce soonest. Is it development, alot of plugin IDEs are available. What more do want for free. Before i go, broswers, there are lots, i used mozilla, fire fox and the cool opera. |

| Re: Java On Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 4:23pm On Feb 14, 2007 |
No prob. You can install both on your laptop. If your laptop has a single partition, you have to use partition manager 8.0, to resize your system without affecting your window partition. Welcome to the world of ubuntu. |

hello mimoh_mi , HOW WERE U ABLE TO GET YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION UP USING UR CDMA PHONE, i'm currently stuck!!! need ur help fast thanx!!  |
| Re: Java On Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 10:58am On Feb 20, 2007 |
@babake81 Sorry for this late reply. To connect ubuntu to the net using CDMA require little configuration. If your system has a COM port, you are lucky, as in you don't have to buy a serial to usb converter. A lot has been said about this stuff. Pls try and follow this link. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-11508.96.html |

@mi How u dey? Any clue for my post? |
| Re: Java On Ubuntu Linux by mimohmi(m): 4:43pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
@Skima Nice to hear from you. Have been very busy of late myself. Don't know why you haven't been able to get this stuff running. May be I have to make a note for you. Try using partition magic, so that you don't have to mess up your system each time you go stunting. Thanks. |
