is there a Java VM for NV+

I have the same problem, but the suggested solution doen´t work. I'm trying this on my ReadyNas NVX Pioneer. My sources.list looks like this:

deb http://www.readynas.com/packages 4.2.13/
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

When i run apt-get update the following errors are shown.

When I try to install java, apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, I get errors about dependicies.

NAS:/# apt-get install sun-java6-jre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libsigc++-2.0-dev: Depends: pkg-config but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: libstdc++-dev
  sun-java6-jre: Depends: java-common (>= 0.24) but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed or
                          ia32-sun-java6-bin (>= 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Does anyone have an idea to resolve the Public Key errors?
Thansk in advance.

Sure :) The set of commands to add the missing key is (at your own risk):

gpg --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5

If above give you an error then try this; (use an defined keyserver)

gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5

and finally add the key

gpg --export --armor 40976EAF437D05B5| apt-key add -

now try again the "apt-get update and apt-get install sun-java6-jre".. :)

Is there another new location for sun-java6-jdk? I made the recommended changes to my /etc/apt/sources.list and get the following error:

NAS_01:~# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate

My file looks like:

deb http://www.readynas.com/packages readynas/

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse

There is NO JAVA for the NV+.

Thank you for your reply.

for java on X86 use my addon for sparc Sorry : nothing

Maybe I am missing something. I installed your addon. frontview has the tick selected.
I SSH into my Pro 6 and type the following command

MainStore:~# java -v
-bash: java: command not found
MainStore:~# javac -v
-bash: javac: command not found
MainStore:~# 

I run a find and it doesn't find java.

Did I miss something?

I was wondering if anyone has tried compiling IcedTea for NV+
It is meant to be totally open source so should be possible ?
Even if it is using zero interpreter (i.e. no JIT), it would be better than nothing.

It seems that there are instructions for Sparc on Gento Linux which may be useful here.
Their method requires someone getting Portage scripts working on Debian Linux first.

Here are some links if someone wants to get things started (It is probably beyond my ability, but I think I will give things a go using the Sparc QEMU image)

Dont know about the NV+ but on my Pro 6, the following worked for me

1. Add "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports etch-backports main non-free" to /etc/apt/sources.list
2. type apt-get update
3. type dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Select Option 1 Dialog
Select Option 3 Medium
4. type apt-get install sun-java6-jre

I may be repeating myself but: There is NO JAVA on Sparc based ReadyNAS systems.

Open Source does not neccessarily mean architecture independent. Even if it's written in some high level language like c++ the sourcecode is not neccessarily portable to different architectures by simply compiling it for that architecture.
It might be possible to extract the concepts and adapt them to the different environment though. This is likely to be a lifetime task for any normal person. Especially since we are talking about rebuilding a complete virtual abstraction layer between the system and the java bytecode.

Not sure what they are referring to in this case, but keep in mind there are 2 very different sparc architectures around.
What is commonly referred to as Sparc nowadays is the late 64 bit sparc based processors like they were used in Sun Workstations.
In the Sparc ReadyNAS systems you can find a processor based on the 32 bit Sparc architecture.
The Processors in the NAS systems are compact and adapted versions of the processors that Sun built from 1992-1995 (V8 generation).
Debian discontinued support for these and even most of the newer Sparc processors that were introduced until 2007 in version 4. (Read: Debian 3 Sarge was the last Debian that had active support for the processor used on the NAS)
Most of the packages that come with the Radiator Firmware are custom built by Infrant or Netgear and thus more current than what is available from standard debian repositories.

As far as I know, the Gentoo project does not currently maintain a version for the V8 generation Sparc processors. That means your links are referring to a newer Sparc architecture not compatible with the processor used in our NAS boxes.
