Can't install openjdk-6-jdk on bubba2

[JanPihlgren]

I'm using bubba2 and logged in as root and then tried to install openjdk-6-jdk.

Code: Select all

 apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

But get the messages:
E: Couldn't find package openjdk-6-jdk
What do I have to do to install development program to do some programmng in java?

Can someone move this to the right thread?

To answer the question, try this command first:

Code: Select all

change_distribution -unc elvin

Assuming you're running the latest software release.

[JanPihlgren]

This is the answer I get:
bubbatwo:/home/jan# change_distribution -unc elvin
Distribution 'elvin' is not valid.
Usage:
change_distribution [options] distribution ...

[RandomUsername]

OK, I guess you're running an old version. Someone else will need to tell you what distribution you need it just manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include the Debian repos.

Hi,

On http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/C ... ces_easier you can see that on Bubba 2 you should use marielle instead of elvin.

Hope it helps

Margan.
It helps me a bit further but now I get the following message:

Code: Select all

E: Couldn't find package openjdk-6-jdk

When I try

Code: Select all

apt-cache search java 

I get the following message:

Code: Select all

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.se.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

Where do I found a list of packages that is available?

[eramoli]

Hi Jan,

I would try the following sequence on your B2

Code: Select all

change_distribution -sunc elvin
apt-get update

This will repoint your database and update the local "cache"

You should then try the apt-get command.

Code: Select all

apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

If the apt-get update did not enable the jdk package you can search all packeges using the folloing command.

Code: Select all

aptitude

NOTE: There are a lot of packages

The command will show you all packages that contain the word java

Code: Select all

aptitude search java

Good hunting!

[JanPihlgren]

Sorry Morgan.
This is what's happend:

Code: Select all

bubbatwo:/home/jan# change_distribution -sunc elvin
Distribution 'elvin' is not valid.
Usage:

For some reason there have been some changes of repositories or the repositories are not holding any package of openjdk.

[eramoli]

Hi Jan,

Sorry, you should use marielle, not elvin, see link in my first post.

What version of the bubba 2 sw are you using?

Morgan

[JanPihlgren]

sofware version 2.0.5
No luck this time either.

The problem is that you are on an old B2 version which is built of an now unsupported version of Debian. Se this post for more information.

So your alternative seems to be to either edit your /etc/apt/sources.list by hand. That is changing http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian
to
http://archive.debian.org/debian/

Or doing an upgrade to an later version (at least 2.4) of the B2 which is built on an newer version of Debian. Note that you can not do an upgrade from 2.05 to 2.4 and later versions, you have to do an new install see this post for more information.

[JanPihlgren]

No success.
The same result.
As I understand your advice to do an upgrad will swip out all my data? If so this is no option because the CPU is so slow that it is so timeconsuming that taking a backup will take a day or two.
I have to live with the situation that I can't install openjdk.

[ryz]

If you have succesfully changed the source.list the errors

Err http://ftp.se.debian.org etch/main Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 130.239.18.137 80]

should have disappeared when doing an apt-get update.

According to this page you should use default-jre or default-jdk to install java in Debian.

If you do want to upgrade your system you can do so and still keeping the all data under /home which should most likely be all private data. Se the section What if I don't want to delete all my user data? in the re-install wiki

Note that I have not installed java myself on the B2 but it seems that there should be some java package compiled for the powerpc platform which the B2 is built upon.

[JanPihlgren]

Former change of sources.list has failed.When used nano to do the change to archive.debian.org result is that
apte-get update run successfully.
When run apt-get update the source.list will change back to ftp.se.....
I change sources.list again and didn't run apt-get update
When I run aptitude search java I found:
java-package which installed successfully.
free-java-sdk which installed successfully.

As I understand I can now compile javaprogram so now I have to discover how use Java in Bubba 2.
Thanks for help and hints.

[Nrde]

As I understand your advice to do an upgrad will swip out all my data?

No, but you have to edit installers config file according to instructions.
