In other words, uninstall IcedTea via the Synaptic Package Manager and then install both JRE and JDK (for future use, just in case) via the sun.com/java web site and be sure to download the version you need, 32 or 64 bit. JRE, really you should need the JRE to play a game within the Java Runtime Environment, but first to the IcedTea issue, IcedTea is Ubuntu's version of JRE without going into more detail, so I would uninstall Iced Tea and then do an uninstall and reinstall of the Java utilities that you need and/or want. That is another good question, about the JDK vs. some things i can google, but this is too much for me.Īctually, i uninstalled openJDK java runtime in ubuntu software center and installed sun java runtime so i dont understand why its using openJDK java runtime.

jar and from tar.gz with the same result.
