Installing Java Plugin for Firefox 4 in Ubuntu 11.04

Ok so you are having a had time, mass uploading pics on facebook, view a hell of a lot of cool sites, using your favorite Java web apps etc. This simple guide will help you to install Java in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal through PPA. There is no Canonical Partner Repository available as of now, so lets try this simple PPA alternative This same PPA can be used for future Java updates in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal too.Fire up a Terminal / Konsole and type :

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java

$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Press ‘OK’ when you see the following screen in the Terminal / Konsole (see the below screenshot). Use the "Tab" key to navigate and press "Enter" after highlighting "OK"

Test:
Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp to test your Java installation.

Any problems , if encountered, please post it here. Have fun!!!

  2. I did not see the how to click OK info, and I closed the terminal. Now I can not complete the process because the process is still running? How do I get to the window to click the OK again as instructed?
