Thanks for the link to this thread. I was able to download and install via the Software Center, the plugin for firefox. It works now and I was able to download those molecule PDB files from the site. I wonder if there's any place here I could upload them to for display purposes. It's a cool program. It's called Pymol.

Here is a clear set of instructions I found to install Oracle Java 7. I am going to try them. I'll report back as to whether it works.

This worked perfectly.

tim@tim-oneiric:~/Downloads/oracle-jdk-7$ java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)
tim@tim-oneiric:~/Downloads/oracle-jdk-7$ javac -version
javac 1.7.0

And the Java 1.7.0 plugin is installed and working in my web browser.

This does not work in Kubuntu as the last step requires gksudo, which of course is not present in Kubuntu (is also not in repositories by default. On top of all this, it installs gtk and some other stuff, when this could probably be done in a console.

Meanwhile I'm still struggling to get it to work in Kubuntu
