Java help

[realunreal]

Hi,

I'm trying to get onto one of my regular chat sites which uses Java, I've been onto add remove programs and added what I believe to be Java runtime 5 yet the applet still reports missing plugin.

I click install missing plugin and all I get is a link to a webpage for a manual install and I have no clue what to do !

From the desktop:

* In the main desktop menu, choose "Add/Remove ..."
* In the "Show" toggle box, select "All Open Source Applications"
* Search for "OpenJDK"
* Select the "OpenJDK Java Runtime" (openjdk-6-jre)
* Confirm the installation of community maintained software
* Press the "Apply Changes" button

I have show unsuported apps & show comercial apps

I highlighted all and put OpenJDK in search box and I get couldn't find a matching application

Try in a Terminal

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras

Go in Software sources (System > Administration > Software Sources) and check the multiverse box.
Then re-run the command for ubuntu-restricted-extras.
