Re: [ubuntu-in] regarding Java JRE versus openjdk
Hi Gora and friends I was bugged by having to run windows and java just for one app and also exposing my online work to the horrors on unsecured windows. So explored the option of installing oracle / sun java - . At the same time was not interested in purging anything from my system. So luckily came across this literally few easy command tutorial to install Oracle Java http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/ It did not remove the exiting openjdf installed and both seem to run side by side, i can't see anything wrong. Infact now the tax utility runs on the opnjdk as well :-) Just thought that it would be good to give this information, specially to those who have been cursing the ITD for lack of a linux solution. regards ram On 24 July 2014 15:00, Gora Mohanty g...@mimirtech.com wrote: On 24 July 2014 14:46, Ramnarayan.K ramnaraya...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Am trying to run an 'official' income tax java file available here - https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ tis requires the official oracle / sun java software it says that the version i have currently installed (openjdk-7-jre) (openjdk-7 (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1~0.13.10.1)) is not compatible Had the same problem, and yes the ITD software does seem to specifically require Oracle Java (write once, despair of ever running anywhere).

Thanks for the update, and for taking the time to research, and find a solution. I had seen this, but was not sure if Java 8 would work (the ITD utility specifically says Java 7.1), and I also have Ubuntu 13.04 which does not seem to be officially covered. Will try it out nonetheless. Thanks again. Regards, Gora -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] regarding Java JRE versus openjdk
Hi Gora Thanks and Good to hear from you. ●●● Hope all well otherwise. Yes you are correct the ITD is very frustrating - and it seems like you and like every year I would need to run windows inside a virtual machine as well. Luckily the new virtual machines are quiet well integrated so it makes life easier - I can do all my work on the linux side and simply just feed in the data into the windows side - generate the file and its done. Am experimenting with running windows from a USB drive - since even the great samsung that makes android software does not have a linux based firmware updation tool. Meanwhile am not going to waste time with trying to make ITD stuff work - just needed the confirmation you have provided. regards ram On 24 July 2014 15:00, Gora Mohanty g...@mimirtech.com wrote: On 24 July 2014 14:46, Ramnarayan.K ramnaraya...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Am trying to run an 'official' income tax java file available here - https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ tis requires the official oracle / sun java software it says that the version i have currently installed (openjdk-7-jre) (openjdk-7 (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1~0.13.10.1)) is not compatible Had the same problem, and yes the ITD software does seem to specifically require Oracle Java (write once, despair of ever running anywhere).

Re: [ubuntu-in] regarding Java JRE versus openjdk
Just start up synaptic and check what is installed by typing the two keywords (as you have mentioned) or try this apt-cache policy package-name (no sudo needed). Not installed: :/$ apt-cache policy openjdk if you are unsure of the name use double tab to autocomplete the name / or check in synaptic On 24 July 2014 15:31, Deepak Jain deepak365...@gmail.com wrote: Ohh... out of the java context what i did this yesterday from my ubuntu 14.04 system.

Hi, The WebUpd8 Java PPA downloads the tgz file from Oracle server and configures it to be used as the default Java system-wide.
