I just checked suspend/hibernate and they are both broken. I'm not sure if suspend/hibernate would work with Nouveau or any other driver on this Dell Inspiron 8500 better than with the latest nvidia-96. I haven't used these features much so unfortunately I can't contribute further. On Fri, Jan

I found this workaround today. I added the repository and installed the latest version. Hopefully this method helps people (not a bug fix but a good workaround). If you use it you agree to Oracles terms. http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en#repo The repository of duinsoft.nl, which is

Thanks Tuxo for a better method. That's the first thing I tried to do. Odd I could not find the previous version when I tried to do it. That's the only reason I used the PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Ah ha. Marc's the rude guy that did this to my jre :) Just kidding. I've never been fan of shooting the messenger and security must be top priority. I wish I could find the location of the Oracle proposal to create downloadable deb files and make them available on the donload page (I saw it

I second the wish that a description was in my face at the time of the update. Once somebody blocks an update such as this the burden of security is on them. I was at 6.29 using my overwrite method mentioned above. This update blew all that away since it was designed to deal with the insecure

By the way... I was not using 6.26 in it's vulnerable condition but rather manually copied 6.29 over the top of the 6.26 installation. The manual installations on the internet are garbage requiring maintenance that the native installation did not need. I tell you I am really sad to not have this

OK. A quick workaround... So it's been less than an hour and I used a popular ppa to put everything back to 6.26 (it seems nearly the same as the partner version). I then downloaded the latest jre from the Oracle site, executed it to extract the contents and then copied the contents of

This looks like an easy fix. I confirm the above procedure works on debian Lenny on an old Toshiba 225cds laptop. It looks like it would work pulling the firmware from Gutsy packages too rather than earlier dapper packages but I didn't try it (they may or may not be the same firmware
