Terminal is like Command Line Interface, keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+T
To check your LM version :
open terminal, type :

Code: Select all

inxi -S

to update java check this site : http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en
use repository method

[jknott31]

put the line
deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all
in the file /etc/apt/sources.list, either using Software Sources from your System Menu or by editing the file in an editor (as root)
or:
put this line in a file named (e.g.) duinsoft.list in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d
import the gpg key with the command (all on one line)
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26
enter the commands (two lines)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre
or use Synaptic to install the package
installation of the Runtime Environment will follow automatically
