Got some trouble with xubuntu 12.10, need some insight

**livingdanger** · March 8th, 2013

I just went and upgraded to the 12.10, but the 12.10 has half the programs that were pre-installed on 12.04. It also doesn't come with java pre-installed (although it acts like it does) which sucks to install (newbie here). I did do a clean wipe and re-install not a 'upgrade', does that matter? I could really use some help on how to upgrade, I like 12.10 its cleaner and it doesn't have some of the glitches 12.04 has (although 12.10 did lock up their customizations abilities). Should install 12.04 set it up then do a upgrade to 12.10, becuase for the life of me I don't know how to install some of the left out software (i.e. java)

Thanks

Code:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Thanks alot that worked I also installed the plugin as well, since terminal suggested it, which seemed to be the problem. I still wonder why 12.10 didn't have all the default software that 12.04 does.

See Ubuntu-restricted-extras

Use the "Software Centre" to install ubuntu-restricted-extras or the terminal.

No Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu has "restricted-extras" installed as default.

Good Luck
