Re: jdownloader
I'd be interested in knowing how to get this as well.
I was just going to add
to my sources and get it that way, but if I don't have the right JAVA it could be sticky
I was just going to add
Code: Select all
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jd-team/jdownloader/ubuntu oneiric main

Re: jdownloader
im a lmde newbie but i think it's bad to add those? it can break the system with a update maybe. i wish jdownloader wasnt java based.
Re: jdownloader
CapitalG, could you please use the search: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=197&t=98650
And yes you shouldn't add external/unknown repositories.
Also: Launchpad/Ubuntu doesn't really behave well with Debian.

Re: jdownloader

Re: jdownloader
For what its worth I using the method I mentioned in my previous post, I managed to get JDownloader up & running just fine without having to tweak any Java settings.
Re: jdownloader
5 minutes googling and you could have jd installed in your system without adding ppa's (in the end it's your choice, but why don't you just use the ubuntu-based v. of mint if you can't change the way you think and interact with the comp and the issues - not every problem is solved by adding yet another ppa, that is not an answer in ubuntu, less in debian)CapitalG wrote:im a lmde newbie but i think it's bad to add those? it can break the system with a update maybe. i wish jdownloader wasnt java based.
the same goes for you, it installed and it's working, you never know when/if one day something is gonna break, then we can't really help you because the changes you made to your system are totally unsupported.20000Leagues wrote:For what its worth I using the method I mentioned in my previous post, I managed to get JDownloader up & running just fine without having to tweak any Java settings.
howto do it:
open a terminal and
Code: Select all
su
Code: Select all
wget http://installer.jdownloader.org/jd_unix_0_9.sh
Code: Select all
chmod +x jd_unix_0_9.sh
Re: jdownloader
Most examples that I found recommended doing some version of adding a Launchpad ppa/deb, so I wouldn't say its that clearcut in understanding how to install it.

Thanks for posting that 'correct' way though!

Re: jdownloader
Nobody is straightening you out! Do you ever realize how many threads are posted here containing the same issue over and over again??? Searching this forum isn't hard to do nd will also provide you with good solutions. Posting the same issue over and over again will lead to flooding this forum.CapitalG wrote:seriously dude! enough with use the search
If that new thread contains the same issue or matter... Yes, then we let you know that you do the wrong thing! It is only wise to create anonther topic which contains another issue which has no relations to other issues.im sure a mod will set me straight if im being so out of line by making a new topic on the matter.
Correct, but you cannot keep going on posting the same thing over and over again. respect that.this is a message board where you can post thoughts
If you keep continue straighten us out (i quote: seriously dude! enough with use the search), eventually nobody will help you. Appreciate that people will help you in any way possible.

Re: jdownloader
SUN Java is available in the repositories and already installed. A replacement of SUN Java would be OpenJDK which is also available in the repositories.CapitalG wrote:im a big fan of jdownloader. what version of java should i install for it? or is there a better replacement to use that doesnt need java?
But if you have SUN Java installed, there's no reason to swap it for OpenJDK unless you experience problems with SUN Java.
Re: jdownloader
Because it's the easy way out. But adding an unofficial repository just to get a package could learn you the 'hard' way. (Just like it did me with dpkg from an added LPPPA repository. It didn't broke a thing but do you want an external application taking over root rights?)20000Leagues wrote:Most examples that I found recommended doing some version of adding a Launchpad ppa/deb
@all: Why not take an advise with the official sources and follow the help step by step?so I wouldn't say its that clearcut in understanding how to install it.
Thanks, nomko for the statement. I couldn't have said it better ... and calmer.
That's what I thought as well but: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 55#p567355nomko wrote:But if you have SUN Java installed, there's no reason to swap it for OpenJDK unless you experience problems with SUN Java.

Re: jdownloader
i can't believe you took the time for this huge response? im not posting the same thing over and over? i never said you had to help me? i would prefer you don't. if someone else doesn't want to help that is fine by me. like i said just ignore it if your not interested. how hard is that? man i thought it was bad over at the ubuntuforums where they dont want you talking about linux mint...over here you can't talk about anythingnomko wrote:Nobody is straightening you out!

yes i do use the search! i have found many answers using it. sometimes i don't find what im looking for and i post a new topic! SUE ME!
Re: jdownloader
on another note i guess my topic wasn't such a waste since a few people have been talking about java. there's this actual conversation stuff going on maybe everyone needs to use the search in here also

Re: jdownloader
CapitalG, I would suggest to use the tutorial I posted.
OpenJDK doesn't work very well with jd unfortunately.
I've read it doesn't work with GNU Java (gcj-jre).
An official package written in Python would be tucan.
