Hi linux friends. I’ve got Debian Lenny 5.0.5.

I’m trying to install mirth, whose requires Java 1.5 or 1.6.

The fact is that Lenny had Java somehow on it before installing it manually, because it says: # java -version java version “1.5.0″ gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.3.2

Anyway it doesn’t let me install mirth, printing this error: #./mirth-1.8.2.4472.1351-linux-installer.bin Error: The installer could not find a valid Java(tm) on this machine. Supported versions: Vendor : Sun min. 1.5 max. any

Why?

I’ve installed every package on Debian Volatile relative to sun-java-1.5 from the following repositories … #deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main #deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main … but I’m getting the same error.

But the most annoying thing is that if I install packages relating to sun-java-1.6 me I’m getting the same error, the Sun site says I’m on 1.6 but ‘java -version’ command says I’m on 1.5.0 version.

I’ve also tried to install jre-6u20-linux-i586.bin (that’s supposed to be in 1.6 version) downloaded directly from Sun site, instead of using the Debian packages. Unsuccessfully.

How can I install Java to let me install mirth?

Debian sid.

A little over a week ago my laptop stopped being able to complete a connection. I am using an Orinoco Silver (Hermes chipset) The failure is the well-known “unable to obtain IP address.” I have used both wicd and Gnome Network Manager. iwlist and wifi-radar can see the access point. dhclient also fails.

TIA for any ideas as to how to diagnose and solve this,

Adobe Flash evangelist Lee Brimelow tells us by demonstration how important pornography is to Adobe’s Flash business, and thus to their customers.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/adobe-porn-flash/

Pr0n is literally everywhere, unfortunately. It’s a multi billion dollar a year business, and the bulk of it is currently distributed via Adobe Flash Player. Apparently the pornography industry is getting tired of paying the Adobe tax, however, and are attempting to move to HMTL5:

Don’t blame me for associating pr0n with Flash. Adobe did so themselves years ago. And it’s one of their biggest money makers.

I have the same issue with same combo on my desktop computer. I had the same problem a few months ago and it was repaired as you explained. Sorry, I can’t give you answers. I did a search and nothing helped.

I’ve read these bug reports but this time they didn’t help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/272352 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291269 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465748

Some help would be very appreciated

Hi. I’ve been running X without xorg for a year now to my complete satisfaction. The only problem I have is a touchpad which I don’t use and it only gets in the way. I’m turning it off with xinput because the sl410 lenovo I have doesn’t allow to turn it off in bios as the ibm thinkpads I’ve owned previously allowed.

The problem is that sometimes the xinput id of the touchpad differs and having it in .xinputrc sometimes turned off the track point and sometimes even the keyboard which really hinders its usability. Is there some automatic way to do this in a secure fasion like using the name returned by input layer and used by xinput?

Also after resume/suspend the touchpad is enabled again and I have to manualy turn it off.

thanks for any pointers mk

Boasting that you “of course wiped W7 off” to then run in to problems with RAID and then come here, is amusing. Maybe you should do some research on RAID and how to do it in Debian, there are many helpful guides on settings up systems, however these are only guides and you also need to know how to recover from disk failures, raid controller failures and other such fun things. W7 has some very easy to use software raid tools which would have at least given you a helping start, I’m not saying they are the best, but they certainly are easy to get your head around.

Checkout some guides, check the archives and look up basic terminology, my fear is you will get a RAID1 set up for your data, to then spend countless hours trying to get your data back when something goes wrong, because you don’t know how to do it, something which can be all too commmon

Presently I am using onboard graphics, but till a few weeks ago I was using a PCIe Nvidia graphics card and the computer was still freezing the same way.

I’d happily drop packets to save bandwidth, and load on my MTA, but I’d think twice about that reason.

My understanding is that most spam comes from compromised home machines these days – so the person getting disrupted is some poor sucker whose machine is compromised, not the actual offender.

Dropping packets may save _them_ bandwidth as well, so as I say, I’d happily do it

Hi. I’m having some problems with ipsec. The connections are running, but when the line goes down the vpn is not coming back again. If i see the logs, i see these errors:

2010-07-06 13:23:22: ERROR: fatal INVALID-SPI notify messsage, phase1 should be deleted.

If i force a restart of the setkey and racoon services, then the vpns are coming back. This is the conf:

remote AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA { exchange_mode main; verify_cert on; my_identifier address; lifetime time 96 hour ; dpd_delay 0; proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm sha1; authentication_method pre_shared_key; dh_group 2; }

}

sainfo address 192.168.1.0/24 any address 10.75.0.0/16 any { pfs_group 2; lifetime time 8 hour ; encryption_algorithm 3des ; authentication_algorithm hmac_md5 ; compression_algorithm deflate ; }

sainfo address AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA/32 any address 10.75.0.0/16 any { pfs_group 2; lifetime time 8 hour ; encryption_algorithm 3des ; authentication_algorithm hmac_md5 ; compression_algorithm deflate ; }

10.75.0.0/16 is the remote network. 192.168.1.0/24 is our net. AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA is their remote public IP. BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB is our public IP

Thanks
