Installing java in ubuntu lucid
Hopefully this saves someone 10 mins:
sun java was moved in the partner repos for lucid.
So, you’ll need to add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner to your sources:
sudo echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
then update and install:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
