[izpack-user] how to install Izpack on Ubuntu

[Jia Fang (Matthew)]

 

Hello

 

I am new to Izpack and no experiece in Java. So I met some problems in installing Izpack on Ubuntu 10.04

 

I read the documenation and I know i need to install Java SDK. However, there is no SDK for Java now, it is now JDK. I installed it by "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk"

 

after that, I see the doucumentation say:

 

If using the SDK:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06
export JAVA_JAR=/usr/java/java_jar
export JRE_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre
export CLASSPATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin
export PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre/bin:$PATH

I am trying to make some replacement and I got:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export JAVA_JAR=/usr/java/java_jar (Can't find the replacement)
export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin
export PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin:$PATH

After that, I try to run java -jar java -jar IzPack-install-4.3.3.jar, But I got errors.

java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

Hi there, I am not familiar with Ubunto, but that error looks like the error described in the documentation about the UNIX installation. Can you set a variable called DISPLAY=<your machine ip address>:0.0.

I suppose you are trying this on a headless (no graphical desktop)
ubuntu server system? You might want to try the console version of the
installer:

java -jar IzPack-install-4.3.3.jar -console

The next IzPack releases (4.3.4 and 5.0) will switch to console mode by default if run from a headless environment.

Sounds great - will this also apply to the installer files generated
from these versions?

Torsten
