Java won't install in UNR 9.10

[Chief_runningwater]

So I recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on my Asus 1005HA and it's amazing, works perfectly and all but when I try and install any type of java from the add/remove panel I always get this error when the package gets to 3%

So how do I fix this because I want to install Java runtime files.

I'm new as well, so this is just a shot in the dark.

I got java through the Ubuntu restricted extras package.

$sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I actually had an error during that and needed to install Java again. So I used:

$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin

Good luck

I tried both and got

nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ $sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

I just tried on my machine and got the same error. Don't put the extra '$'.

It should be:

nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin

Same goes for all commands

Not 100% what I did but I can't remove it and when i try the command without the $ it gives me

nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

It sounds like something is wrong with your repositories.

Can you post what is in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

Thanks for the help I figured it out, I messed with the repositories and I guess screwed it up so I reverted it back to default and now it's working.
