Java install via Add/Remove crashed

[Gary W.]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-restricted-extras

Just picked a bunch of restricted stuff to install while running from the livecd. Here's the error output.

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Fri Apr 6 22:57:27 2007
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04
Uname: Linux ubuntu 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Wed Mar 21 20:55:46 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

[Johnny Levai (digistyl3)]

So you selected the ubuntu-restricted-extras package from the Add/Remove durin a Live CD session.
Where you using Gnome or KDE and how much memory did you have? (I'm trying to reproduce it here in VMware)

[Gary W. (node45-55)]

I was using Gnome. The computer has 1 gig of RAM. I could try reproducing it again over here and giving you more info if you think it will help, though I wouldn't be sure what other information would be helpful.

[Johnny Levai (digistyl3)]

I could reproduce this. No mather if I click on the Reload list button in the Add/Remove section or not, when trying to install Ubuntu Restricted Extras I get the following:
1. It starts to download packages, and then suddenly stops, Ubuntu Restricted Extras is still unselected.
2. Then I select the package again, and it sort of continues, I agree to the license agreement and so on, but in the end, when setting up the packages, it gives me an error, and the output Gary W. posted.
I rebooted and tried again, but the same happened again and again.

I tried a sudo apt-get update, and then tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but the packages wasn't in the database... strange.

Gary, does this happen only in the Feisty Beta livecd?

[Gary W. (node45-55)]

I don't know, that's the only version I've tried.

[Vano Beridze (vanuatoo)]

This bug is reproducible in ubuntu 7.04 release livecd.
I even tried to install manually jdk from sun site but it gives me the following error
error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I manually update ld.so.conf to include libjli.so that resides in JDK_HOME/jre/lib/i386/jli and also added JDK_HOME/jre/lib/i386/
dir but now running java gives me the following problem
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
This is the first linux distribution that can't run java out of box.

[Mike (mike0999)]

I get the same error as Vano on a Feisty liveCD, upgraded to the most recent version of Feisty from Feisty Herd3. I am using the Gnome desktop. If I run a locate, however, it appears that this libjli.so library is not on my system

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

This is a bug in sun-java6, not ubuntu-restricted-extras

[Tel (lists-bespoke)]

I have seen the same error with the missing libjli.so when installing Java into an ubuntu chroot. Making sure that the /proc was correctly mounted in the chroot caused the error to go away.

Seems that the binary /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/java checks inside its own /proc/self/exe to find a path, and then mangles that path to find the shared library files. In other words, the libraries are found in a path RELATIVE to the running executable rather than normal absolute library paths.

This allows it access to libraries outside the standard ldconfig system. I would guess that such a method might be fragile so hopefully this gives people a hint about where to look for problems.

[Kalrog (nathan-deckinga)]

Also happens in Gutsy current tribe release.

[Kalrog (nathan-deckinga)]

Some strategic un/re installing and rebooting seems to have fixed it. I was working on a Xine problem at the same time so I don't know what order of steps it was that truly fixed this but it could just be an order of installation thing.

[wolfen69 (wolfen69)]

i am using gutsy tribe5.

[Crankeye (crankeye)]

A quick fix:
1. Open console and type: ln -s / /cow

More info:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1947183&postcount=12

[Mike (mike0999)]

That seems to have worked for me as well.

[nicarley (nicarley)]

I got the same error installing the extras on my system (not a livecd) but an actual install.

[John B. (jbuncher)]

I've also run in to this on a Gutsy (final) LiveCD, installing via the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package in Add/Remove, as well as apt-get install sun-java6-jre from a terminal.

[WalterCool (waltercool)]

//A quick fix:
//1. Open console and type: ln -s / /cow

That works very good :)

Many thanks

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Confirming sun-java5 task because of bug #84765.

[John Doe (johndoe32102002)]

I can confirm this bug in Ubuntu Hardy running i386 (AMD 32-bit) LiveCD.

[cfriedt (chrisfriedt)]

apt-get install sun-java6-bin fails on Gutsy 7.10 with the same error reported above.

java does not find libjli.so, libjava.so. Libjava.so does not find libjvm.so.

sure sucks not to be able to do anything with java. How did this actually slip on to a 'final' release? Even the icedtea JVM has the same problem and it's suggested in the Ubuntu documentation.

I've actually sorted out all of the .so dependencies by going into /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre and making a few clever symlinks, but then I experience something that could only happen on Ubuntu:

(unsatisfied link)

root@ubuntu:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin# ldd java
        linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ecb000)
        libjli.so => not found
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ec6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7d7c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef1000)

(link is satisfied)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386 ldd java
        linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f0f000)
        libjli.so => /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libjli.so (0xb7f05000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7db7000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f35000)

(Now it breaks again... go team!)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/client ./java Hello
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment

Honestly, I thought that Ubuntu was supposed to 'just work'. So much for that idea.

[DeeDee0815 (deedee0815)]

Oh man, developers! Hurry up! This bug has to be fixed to the Hardy final release! What's the problem to fix that? I think this is no problem of the Sun JRE, it's a bad packed package.

Greetings,

Affects openjdk-6 too, see bug #219666.

Can someone please confirm this bug in openjdk-6 by installing icedtea-gcjwebplugin (which gets installed by ubuntu-restricted-extras in hardy).

[Joshua Swink (yathster)]

Bug still present in sun-java6-bin 6-06-0ubuntu1 (Hardy).

[Jorge Q (jquiroga2005)]

Well, I install java from sun's .bin archive and the same, but the problem is only on my USB portable HDD, on my desktop the installation works. The problem is persistence related and with the user. When I install fron ubuntu user that error (libjli.so not found) appears, so I delete and reinstall but from sudo su and now the problem is "libjava.so". This is the info that I have in order to help to resolve the problem

I'll try ASAP with the solution, please correct me if I wrong (I'm newbie with these things), but the solution is to put on .profile a ln -s /squashmnt / and ln -s /persistentmnt / ?

Thanks

[Jorge Q (jquiroga2005)]

Hello me again:

Nop, with or without ln I have the same result, so, I have something wrong. The error I posted before don't appear exactly the same because I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to libjli.so directory then appear about libjava.so, but if I comment that line on my .profile the original error appear. Can someone explain me how to correct this error?

Thanks in advance

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Could someone try openjdk-6 (6b09dfsg-1ubuntu1) from intrepid if this issue is now fixed (see bug #224110) ?

This occurred on Ubuntu 8.10

[Marco Costantini (costanti)]

Even if a fix has been released, this bug is still present in 8.04 hardy kubuntu live after
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless
and can confuse the unaware user. As 8.04 is long term support, the bug shoud be fixed also in this release.

ln -s / /cow
works for me.

please note that openjdk-6 in hardy is in the universe section. you should
contact the MOTU team.
