    What are you tying to do?
    If you just want to install java, you can do it via Synaptic

    No need to rename or extract it. If the file's on your desktop, open a terminal and run these commands one at a time:

    cd Desktop

    chmod a+x java*bin

    sudo ./java*bin

    Replace java*bin with whatever the filename is.

    Or, as was suggested, install Java using Synaptic Package Manager.

    Re: Java

    The preferred way to install software on Ubuntu is via the package management system. If you are trying to install the latest version of Sun Java 6, look for packages named sun-java6-... in Synaptic. You can also install it in a terminal window:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
    This will install the JRE and browser plug-in (for 32-bit Ubuntu only). If you want to install the JDK (because you want to compile your own Java programs):
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
    Ubuntu 12.04
