I also wanted to note that on 9.04 the rpm -> deb converted package novllmgnt will cause dpkg to fail the install for any item that requires libicu-dev, ie virtualbox, etc., producing this error:

Unpacking libicu-dev (from …/libicu-dev_3.8.1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb) …
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libicu-dev_3.8.1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (–unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libicudata.so’, which is also in package novllmgnt

At this apt-get will refuse to do any updates until this issue is resolved.

I’ve fixed the problem using:
dpkg –purge novllmgnt

It turns out that novllmgnt is not critical to console one because it is only the language plugins module.

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback. About your comments:
1) Yep true, 9.04 comes with an updated version for java. Now Sun Java JRE 6 is the preferred choice.
2) Ah yes a typo…. thanks for that.

PS: Brrrrrrrrr…. it’s no typo, the plug-in that makes up the code screws up the syntax!

1) Use Sun Java JRE 6 release not the open JDK. The open JDK causes it to crash at the authentication prompt. To install type “sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre”

2)
“sudo update-alternatives –config java” Note that is two dashes infront of the config. I’ve even tried copy and paste and the command does not work from the page. **If you have already installed the openjdk then when prompted as to which version of java you wish to use then select: “/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java”

Currently I’m running “/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java” as my default java environment.

Thanks for the assistance. You have been able to hack together all kinds of programs in ubuntu that i have found useful at work. The compiz idea was a good one, and it was a thought that i had not considered. I just sshd into my work box from home, to check, but compiz was already turned off.
Using: sudo update-alternatives –config java
I tried changing default java from open to sun and vice versa, but this had no effect on consoleone. Of course, as soon as i dpkg -r novlc1linuxjre, consoleone won’t start, giving an error that it can’t find java. I guess that i need to try it on a completely fresh install, with all updates. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks.

Cheers,

Thanks for this! I have been using consoleone via this method for about 9 months at work on 8.10, and it ran beautifully. I started running jaunty a couple of months ago, and it ran great on 9.04, as well. Recently, something (maybe an update from canonical) has been causing flaky activity while in consoleone. When i click on objects and then move the mouse around, text will disappear, and all kinds of weird graphical artifacts, etc appear. It seems to be a java issue to me, but I can’t pin it down. I have tried reinstalling conone and the jre a couple of times, but I have had no success. Do you have any thoughts on this issue? Thanks again!
