Você precisa ativar o repositório multiverse no Ubuntu: link
Infelizmente, se eu tentar instalar o sun-java através do apt-get, ele não será encontrado nos repositórios.
# apt-get install sun-java6-jre Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate
Se eu tentar instalá-lo usando a lixeira do site da Sun, aqui está o problema:
# ./jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin (license agreement...) Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no] yes Unpacking... Checksumming... Extracting... ./jre-6u18-linux-i586.bin: 366: ./install.sfx.10648: not found Failed to extract the files. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation Instructions on the download page for more information.
Obrigado pela ajuda.
