I have tried to install sun java in ubuntu 8.04 but get the error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
How do i do that?:P

Start "terminal" from apps menu > accessories. Then type
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and press enter. This should fix it.

Can't you install using synaptic?
system menu > admin > synaptic
Enable restricted and multiverse repositories from the repository settings to get a more complete list. Then click refresh.
Now you can search and install whatever you want in synaptic. For example search and install
ubuntu-restricted-extras
which contains java, codecs, and other goodies.

First time with Ubuntu. No clue how to implement your suggestion. Could you post a couple of jpg's so I can see.
Thanks a lot.

try typing this at a terminal:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
and see what happens.

Tangible and Gloria: thanks
Is downloading a lot of stuff. When it finishes it will be all set?

should be. after its done, just open firefox and try going to a page with java on it. BTW that package also installs flash and MP3 plugins.
also if you want the java development kit (for creating java programs), you need this command:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
