Comment 3 for bug 205540

Hi,

I installed upgrade 5 with some help that i found on http://jmtdstoc.blogspot.com/2008/03/ubuntu-710-sun-java-16005-manual.html:

$cd /home/jorge/Desktop
$sudo sh jre-6u5-linux-i586.bin
$sudo mv -f jre1.6* /opt/jre1.6
$sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

(this time I wanted to know exactly what I was typing in and what it would do, and I found an helpful site: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/)

Apparently upgrade 5 is not in the repository yet, and this is a manual install. I have now Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_05-b13.
(upgrade 3, that I had, is the recommended version)
Unfortunately, this does not solve the freeze problem, I needed to reboot the computer by pressing the power button for a while.

I will now try with firefox 3 and see if it solves the problem.

learning as I go, Mark
