is there a Java VM for NV+

I was able to manage to install Java 6 on the pro.
(not sure if the NV+ CPU/memory is able to handle it.)

Anyhow here are the steps...

In your /etc/apt/sources.list add

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted 
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse

then I did;

apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

After this the rest of the process will display a dialog that will require you to accept the license agreement. When you do, the rest of the setup will happen on its own.

change temporary in

dpkg-reconfigure debconf

NonInteractive to Readline, once completed change it back

When you're on the command prompt type

javac -version

or

java -version 

You should be good to go! :D

Sorry for delay in the response, just come back from the year end vacation.
First of all thanks for the reply.

My NV+ is vanilla out of the box installation so the commands above don't appear on my box...... :(

How scarey is the process of changing it to handle this? I have plenty experience with linux , but there's alot of data on the NV+ that is not worth losing.

You would need to install the EnableRootSSH add-on in order to gain root access, followed by the APT add-on.

Both add-ons can be found here under the SHELL ACCESS PATCHES: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=617

You do not need the ToggleSSH add-on (it will disable SSH access if you run it).

As for whether or not it will work, there are others that have also indicated that the CPU on the NV/NV+/Duo is not powerful enough.

Will give it a whirl..... The application I have is so undemanding & I don't care if it takes 10 mins to run even if it only takes 5 secs on my Mac. It's a once per day app, the important thing is it runs by itself...... otherwise I'm going to have to crack out the python or perl books.....

I added the two lines to the end of my sources.list file and then attempted to use your instructions to install java jdk on my PRO and I got the following errors

Running apt-get update again did not correct the problem. If you could give me the current deb lines for accessing the java jdk I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Understood about the sparc, but fantastic news about the x86 platform!

Sorry for some delay;

It seems that Sun has moved their SUN-6-SDK to another location, just add this into your sources.list

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

and try again.

To verify:

Crius:/etc/apt# java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Crius:/etc/apt# javac -version
javac 1.6.0_20
Crius:/etc/apt#

Thanks, that did the trick!

Glad I'm able to help you.
