What happens if you choose to update?

Those messages are informational. Mine updates normally via the command line.

If choosing to update does or does not work, please let me know. It looks like I may want to make some more updates to the Community Java Wiki.

When I clicked install update button, it's always show the pop-up window like the image I showed in the first post. ](*,)

And how can I update it via command-line and why software updater just doesn't work? Thanks

Run in terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I will look in to the graphical update method and contact webupd8.

You can do command line updates as follows:


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Isn't dist-upgrade to upgrade the ubuntu version? Aren't we talking only about JDK here?

I use dist-upgrade exclusively, primarily to catch dependency resolutions.

I saw this update go by.

However, I'll check to be sure.

In any case, upgrade should work so it wouldn't be a problem.

Here is how I did it


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-jdk7-installer

EDIT: I seen this was solved but the solutions provided above did not work for me. So I added the one that worked for me for others who may come across this thread.
