Ubuntu 10.x with Java7

How to install Java on Ubuntu 10.x

Download he 32bit or 64bit Linux “compressed binary file” – it has a “.tar.gz” file extension i.e. “[java-version]-i586.tar.gz” for 32bit and “[java-version]-x64.tar.gz” for 64bit

Uncompress it
# tar -xvf jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz (32bit)
# tar -xvf jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz (64bit)

JDK 7 package is extracted into ./jdk1.7.0_02 directory. N.B. check carefully this folder name since Oracle seem to change this occasionally with each update.

Now move the JDK 7 directory to /usr/lib

# sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm
# sudo mv ./jdk1.7.0_02 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0

Now run

# sudo update-alternatives –install “/usr/bin/java” “java” “/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java” 1
# sudo update-alternatives –install “/usr/bin/javac” “javac” “/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javac” 1
# sudo update-alternatives –install “/usr/bin/javaws” “javaws” “/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javaws” 1

This will assign Oracle JDK a priority of 1, which means that installing other JDKs will replace it as the default. Be sure to use a higher priority if you want Oracle JDK to remain the default. Correct the file ownership and the permissions of the executables:

# sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/java
# sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/javac
# sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/javaws
# sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0

Check the version of you new JDK 7 installation:

# java -version

java version “1.7.0”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

VirtualBox Windows / Solaris 10 / Xming

I had the following problem with Solaris 10 X86 in a VirtualBox container. I could not make a XDMCP session with xming to this Solaris 10 container.

After long searching I found that default Windows 7 Enterprise is blocking (firewall) this connection. To resolve this issues go to the Control Panel – Windows firewall – Advanched settings -> Inbound Rules. Find Xming X server and enable each profile.

Then everything is working fine.

On the Solaris 10 site the following steps must be executed to enable XDMCP

Solaris 10’s desktop environment is JDS which is based off of GNOME.

– Log in as root
– Open a terminal
– Type gdmsetup (a dialog box will appear)
– Click on the XDMCP tab
– Check the Enable XDMCP box
– Press Close
