How To Intall java On Ubuntu 7.10?

[Pedro D]

Does anybody know how to install the latest version of java on Ubuntu 7.10?

There is no support for 7.10 any more I'm afraid so I think it may be difficult to do this. I believe there are some archived package sites for the un-supported versions so it may be possible to search for those and download the .debs, but frankly it may be easier to just accept the situation and upgrade to either 8.04 or even better, 9.04. Do a search for ubuntu 7.10 repositories and you come up trumps.

OK Thank You.

If you want to upgrade Gutsy to Hardy then in your source list replace all archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com

For example

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

to

deb http://old-releases.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
