I’ve been trying to install Java into Linux for two days to no avail.?
Question: I’ve been trying to install Java into Linux for two days to no avail.?
I’m new to linux and I knew they would be a learning curve, but this is ridiculous. First off, I have Kubuntu 8.04 on my PC. I tried installing Java through the Adept installer and the Synaptic Package Manger. Adept says Java 6 Runtime is installed. Wonderful, but Firefox can’t see it. So, from the command line, I just typed “sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin \sun-java6-fonts” It replies that they’re both already the newest version. How nice. But when I type java -version, it tells me “command not found” and offers me 9-10 different packages ‘java’ can be found in. I tried the directions on Java’s website, and that was unsuccessful as well (sorry, can’t remember specifics…I should have written down for each of these install failures). I’m a pretty smart guy and can usually figure these things out by trying every suggestion I can find on the web (I’ve tried countless). This is discouraging. I was really looking forward to making the leap to Linux.

Windows Live Messenger 9 Won’t Install? Help!?
Question: Windows Live Messenger 9 Won’t Install? Help!?
Okay, I used to use Windows Live Messenger 8 perfectly fine, and then when the update came, I updated it to Windows Live Messenger 9. It worked fine. Then, I removed alot of programs from my laptop (Windows XP) and then when I came to re-install Windows Live Messenger, from the official website (using Mozilla Firefox) the download comes up with:
wlm-all
0bytes
I then double click the file and press “run” and then it says that the file is “not a valid Win32 file” =SS What? Help!
Then, I had to suffer with the old old old MSN, until I found MSN Messenger 7, downloaded it and used it until i tried Windows Live Messenger 8. It worked fine.
Until today [July 23rd 2009.]
When I tried to sign in it comes up saying “A newer version is available. You must install the newer version in order to continue. Would you like to do this now?”
With the options:
Yes[starts download]
No[doesn't sign you in]
What’s New [takes you to a website that tells you the new features etc.]
When I press yes,it starts the download, “Downloading the latest version of Windows Live Messenger”.When it is complete. It comes up with “Run” or “Don’t run”
After clicking “Run” it tells you to accept the agreement, after that, it tells you to choose the programs I wish to install. And, as I only wish to use Messenger, I un-click everything, pressing install.
It starts the download, with “interesting pictures” of the Windows Messenger which I can’t use! 
At 38% it says “Rolling back” and says:
Done.
Click each program for details and error information.

When I click “Messenger” it says:
Messenger couldn’t be installed because we had trouble installing these requirements:
-Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime
Programs were not installed because the installation was canceled. failed_prior_task:0×80004004
-Microsoft Application Error Reportig
(the same as above except: aborted:0×80004004
-Segoe UI Font
“programs were not installed…..” failed_prior_task:0×80004004
-Windows Live Upload Tool
“……..” failed_prior_task:0×80004004
-Windows Live Sign-in Assistant.
“…….”failed_prior_task:0×80004004
-Installed
“………..” failed_prior_task:0×80004004
-Choice Guard
“…………..” aborted:0×80004004
Yes, a long list of errors! I did not click anything, I just sat here watching the installer.
The options are: Try again. Close
Try again repeats this failed installation and Close, closes the window.
I really need help!
Also, could this be because I do not have ServicePack3 for XP, read my other question about Windows Updates not working for more details! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkV3d9lyvLHpR3No7opcELjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090718040040AAk6mUB
Cheers,

ALSO!! If you have any alternatives with download Windows Live Messenger 9, please suggest them!
[Although I have already tried searching "Windows Live Messenger 9" on google, tried download and installing from websites such as filehippo etc. Doesn't work! D; And I have tried using universal IMs but it's not the same!]
