I take it you tried to install java via an apt-get command in the terminal?

I think you need to enable the universe repository. Though I thought it came enabled by default... Anyway, easiest way is to go to System > Administration > Software Sources. Under the Ubuntu Software tab, tick the box for Community maintained Open Source Software (universe).

What T0p is explaining about the Software Sources is what you should do I think.

Teminal state "bash:udo:command not found" when typed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Then maybe the 's' did not come through?

Teminal state "bash:udo:command not found" when typed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

LOL!! You typed udo by mistake, instead of sudo.

Sorry for laughing... but that's damn funny! Udo! LMAO!

First, you need to update your package list. Do this by typing in terminal:

sudo apt-get update

Next, type

sudo apt-get install udo

That udo threw me for a bit. I thought it was a typo for sudo. I didn't realize there's actually a package called udo til I checked.

Anyway, those instructions should sort you out.
