Thanks Mark Rijckenberg bit it ses it for everything I do. I can't do jack on it..

Take care. Windows software don't run under Linux. Windows is Windows, and Linux is Linux.

If you like to run Windows software under Linux, you've to use Wine (Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)).

You can find Wine in the Synaptic package manger. Or you can install it by typing "sudo apt-get install Wine" in a Terminal.

And I guess, Ubunto looks like Vista. Both systems work with a guy and the principle of look and feel is supported in Ubuntu.

Linux is a very strong and stable operating system.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ian,

Please follow this procedure (so we can investigate this issue):

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (type each then hit <enter>)

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install azureus
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre

Step 3: Post results (cut/paste terminal output from each command) here

Best place to look up programs to install in Ubuntu is Synaptic Package Manger. Go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic is near the bottom

Note it has a great couple of search tools that look in descriptions as well as in titles. Applications that are already 'ticked' (or blocked in with green) are ones you already have on your system. At the moment most of these will be fairly critical so don;t untick or uistall anything you're not sure of.

Good luck and regards from

Azureus (Vuze) is a java application then first you must install Java...

How to install Java

To install sun-java6

A) Please first enable the multiverse repository:

Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

B) Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

C) Then to install Azureus still using Terminal type:

sudo apt-get install vuze

Hope this helps

Hmmm, my previous post was from a cyber-cafe where i couldn't read the forum thread. Please ignore my last posting.

If you are having trouble installing anything then i was just wondering how much disc space you have free. Ubuntu likes 8Gb but a bit more is helpful. Anyway, what is more important is how much space you have left over at the moment.

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/reposting a question just before america arrives online gives the best chance of getting a good few answers.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved.

Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
