HOWTO: Installing Azureus on Breezy

[Mosey]

No matter what ports I try and test...i've tried twenty-six already...I always get a NAT ERROR...

What do I need to do? I'm testing ports i've enabled in firestarter!

*Hmmph*

Arnieboy,

Thanks for the Azureus install instructions. Question:

I installed sun-j2re1.5 from plf and then installed the same azureus package you note from the debian repos. Everything works fine. I didn't have to do anything else.

I never installed, as installing sun-j2re1.5 seemed to install them:
sudo apt-get install libcommons-cli-java liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libswt-gtk-3.1-java

And I never did:
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/bin/java

And I never installed firestarter.

Are these things really necessary?

Could the instructions instead say:

sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/azureus_2.3.0.6-1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.3.0.6-1_all.deb

There's also this second method, found on the new Breezy Ubuntu Guide, that will install the tarball straight from sourceforge.
http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#Ho...8Azureus.29.3F

sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5  (must have PLF repo added for this)

wget -c http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sou..._linux.tar.bz2

sudo tar jxvf Azureus_2.3.0.6_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/azureus.desktop

* Add the following to the new file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Azureus
Comment=A Bittorrent client
Exec=/opt/azureus
Icon=/opt/azureus/Azureus.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

This method works great! Thanks!

Eclipse and Azureus still don't play nice together. If I install Azureus it wants to remove Eclipse and it's related packages. If I install eclipse:

$ sudo apt-get install eclipse-sdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  eclipse-jdt eclipse-jdt-common eclipse-pde eclipse-pde-common
  eclipse-platform eclipse-platform-common eclipse-rcp libswt3.1-gtk-java
  libswt3.1-gtk-jni
Recommended packages:
  eclipse-jdt-gcj eclipse-pde-gcj eclipse-source eclipse-platform-gcj
  eclipse-rcp-gcj
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  azureus libswt-gtk-3.1-java libswt-gtk-3.1-jni
The following NEW packages will be installed:

My 2 cents : install all java related stuff (eclipse, ant, tomcat...) manually.
Linux purists will say that's dumb, and that doing this you'll miss the power of packages.
I experienced so much problems with java apps packages : tomcat messing with struts apps, impossibility to correctly set local javadoc for the JDK in eclipse... that i took this resolution, and now everything is running fine

UPDATED! NO MORE RESIZING PROBLEMS
Part 1: Installing Azureus
Before anything make sure u uncomment the universe and multiverse repositories .....

At a far simpler level. How does one comment or uncomment?

[Rory]

This is a fair question. We just assume that these basic things are self-explanatory, when, of course, they're not.

## comment
uncomment (remove the '#') from the front of the line.

## at the beginning of the line means that that line won't be included in your repository (or other script, for that matter). But, it's still there, in case you want to use it down the line, when all you have to do is remove the #.

## Sometimes you'll see a file and it will have instructions. In order for ## the instructions to be there but not seen as code, comments are put ## in from of the lines. This allows you to write anything you want to users, explainining the contents of the script. Then you'll see code.

Here's an example: http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#Ho...a_repositories

Simple enough?

Thanks a bunch. It was really helpful.
