In Ubuntu 10.04, however sun-java is not by default available,
canonical partner should be in the repository list, therefore it
requires these step:

sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”
sudo apt-get update

before

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-plugin

Wassalam

Salaam,

Ahmed, do you know what's the problem with PPA version which causes freezing or scrolling issues?

Thanks,

Mohsen

I don't understand the source of the problem ? Did it get fixed by
installing from tarball or by using sun-java ?!

Did he try the tarball installation against OpenJDK ?

Scrolling and play/pause only works with tar.gz package but doesn't work with our deb package (either on PPA or Ubuntu). This is actually reported many times to the mailing list but is not really an issue with OpenJDK or Sun Java (that was another problem - master gain not supported - which was fixed by switching to Sun JRE or updating lib-basicplayer).
