Linux/Unix notes
If you installed Azureus 3.0.2.0 or higher, you can also try a manual update.
Make sure Azureus is not running
Open up a shell
Change to the azureus program dir
Run "./updateAzureus" (If this is your first time using the script, you may have to "chmod +x ./updateAzureus"). If you don't have this script, you can create one:
sudo java -cp ./plugins/azupdater/Updater.jar org.gudy.azureus2.update.Updater updateonly `pwd` ~/.azureus
Assuming you have a ./plugins/azupdater/Updater.jar, this will elevate your rights and apply any updates that couldn't be done with your normal user's rights.
In order to run Java programs and Java applets, you must have a Java environment installed. The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default, and is usually fine for most purposes. If it is not installed, JavaInstallation describes how to install some opensource flavors of Java. You may, however, have a need to run the Sun flavor of Java if something does not work correctly. To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 7.04 or later running on Intel or PowerPC platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install either the openjdk-6-jre package or the sun-java6-bin package. (Note: PowerPC version is slow). To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 running on Intel x86 platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install the sun-java5-bin package. Note: The same commands will work under Xubuntu/Kubuntu (using Add/Remove or the Adept Package Installer).
