Trying to get help from Linksys via online "Live Chat" but my Java isn't working properly. Can't figure out how to make it work! Maybe I need to change settings in Firefox but don't know how to do that either. HELP!!!

Please try to install Java

- Please first enable the multiverse repository:

Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

- Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin
plase confirm pressing "tab" key and pressing enter the java licence agreement

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
