Installing Java 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

Installing Java 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) turned out to be nothing but a pain.

Firstly, Java 1.4.1 has now reached End of Life, so Sun doesn't support it any longer.

1. So, download Java 1.4.2_07 from the archive: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.1_07/


2. Then when you try to set the file to executable by 'chmod -x' and then run it, you're likely to get an error message like:

"tail: cannot open `+341' for reading: No such file or directory"

Then something about the download being corrupt.

This is because (according to here) the tail program in Linux has changed slightly since then and has a different syntax.

To get around this, I unzipped the .bin file using 7Zip on a Windows system; but I guess p7zip can be used on a Linux system too.

3. Then I placed the 'j2re1.4.1_07' folder into my /usr/lib/jvm/ folder and did the procedures 5 to 6 as in the previous post.

4. Then finally, manually added the plugin (so that it works in Firefox) to the list of plugins as given in the 'Java Applet Runtime Settings' -> 'View' in the GUI for the ControlPanel command.

How to Install the Twhirl Twitter Client for Ubuntu

To install:

1. Get hold of the latest version of Adobe AIR from this site: http://get.adobe.com/air/

2. Open a terminal, and find the .bin file that you downloaded in step 1.

3. Change the .bin file's permissions so it is executable: chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

4. Execute the bin file: ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

5. Follow the on screen instructions. (it shouldn't take long)

6. Download the latest version of Twhirl from: http://www.twhirl.org/download

7. If the Adobe AIR installation was successful, then the .air file should open and Twhirl should install. Follow the on screen instructions and Twhirl should be up and running.

8. By default, Twhirl will install into the 'Accessories' menu in Ubuntu.
