Cant install Sun java,the open java which was offered instead in the ubuntu restricted extras didnt work on most web pages I tried. I just get a blank java applet so I tried to remove ubuntu restricted extras to reinstall the package in case it didnt install correctly and it crashed. Where has the usual Sun java package gone? That used to work perfectly.

Mine crashed when I closed the application after pidgin installation (installation was completed and successful)

[PatrickSCarrroll (patrickscarroll-hotmail)]

Safe to say, installing/uninstalling applications in the Ubuntu Software Center (no matter what it is) causes this bug. I'd kinda say this should be considered high importance or reviews of Lucid,when it is released, are going to be harping on the "flagship" software "app store" being buggy/crashy.

[LiohMoeller (liohmoeller)]
