[Bug 1309709] Re: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives
The bugfixed galternatives version 0.13.5+nmu3 is in upstream Debian and synced into Ubuntu 14.10 and up (See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galternatives ). Since galternatives 0.13.5+nmu2ubuntu1 - the one in 𝐔𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐮 𝟏𝟒.𝟎𝟒𝐋𝐓𝐒 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑻𝒂𝒉𝒓's repo is non-functional and 0.13.5+nmu3 seems to be backward compatible, I think this qualifies for a backport through Stable Release Updates (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates ). So, I request galternatives package be included in Trusty SRU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309709 Title: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galternatives/+bug/1309709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The fixed version from Debian has made it into Utopic and Vivid, but still not backported or updated in Trusty. Trusty's galternatives backport/update requires immediate attention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309709 Title: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galternatives/+bug/1309709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please do upload to Trusty. The comment #6 symlink workaround gets overwritten (I do not know from where or how) and needs to be added again before galternatives is useful. Trusty is LTS and if the issue isn't fixed, then you might as well remove from Trusty completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309709 Title: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galternatives/+bug/1309709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1309709] Re: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives
To those that are not familiarized with the command line, and are in a hurry to configure your java definitions properly (say, you just installed Trusty and need this working right now), you can do this: 1. Unpack the tar.gz file from the Oracle site to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7 -oracle-jdk-amd64 2. Perform the following commands: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jexec jexec /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/lib/jexec 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/keytool keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/keytool 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/orbd orbd /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/orbd 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pack200 pack200 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/pack200 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/policytool policytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/policytool 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rmid rmid /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/rmid 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/bin/rmiregistry 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/servertool servertool /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/servertool 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/tnameserv tnameserv /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/tnameserv 1000 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/unpack200 unpack200 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64/jre/bin/unpack200 1000 3. And then select the proper alternatives (in case you had another distribution installed, like OpenJDK) with the commands: sudo update-alternatives --config java sudo update-alternatives --config jexec sudo update-alternatives --config keytool sudo update-alternatives --config pack200 sudo update-alternatives --config policytool sudo update-alternatives --config rmid sudo update-alternatives --config rmiregistry sudo update-alternatives --config servertool sudo update-alternatives --config tnameserv sudo update-alternatives --config unpack200 For each of these, you will be prompted to select the alternative you want. You will be prompted with a list of choices. Select the one you just defined in the commands under item 2, above. They are the ones pointing to java-7-oracle-jdk-amd64. This is pretty self-explanatory. Just in case someone on the web find this on Google and needs help. ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309709 Title: galternatives cannot add or choose alternatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galternatives/+bug/1309709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
