Is Java in the repository or how do I install it?

I have never successfully installed Java in Linux unless there is a repository package or it come installed. It seems to me that the Sun instructions are missing newbie information for sure.
I have not installed Arch yet. I need to know if Java, win32 codecs, Flash, Mplayer, VLC and libdvdcss are installed or if these are easy to install from the repository, etc... I am not a Free Software Foundation guy, I want my OS to play and do everything that it can.
Thanks,
B.

There's open source alternatives for 64-bit, but gnash (for flash) isn't 100% compatible with all flash stuff just yet. Not sure about the current state of the open source java compilers/plugins.
Jameica still needs jre, can't run with gcj or how it is called. This is the only example I got on my PC that comes to my mind.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.

    I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    You have CC for individual purchased which can be activated on two machines by the same Adobe ID.
    How ever if you want to use it on more than two machine, you can cancel this order & buy the creative cloud for Team, in which you can buy the number of seats & assign them to as many user you would like to.
    Each user can activate it two times with 100GB of space as compared to 20 GB space for CC for individual.

  • I just bought a new iMac and only have the aperture cd, how do i install aperture 3 back to my new iMac

    i just bought my new imac but i only have the aperture 3 cd and do not have a drive how do i install aperture 3 or where do i download from and then just insert the cd key.

    You either burn a disk image of your CD (using Disk Utility) on a mac that still has a drive and transfer the disk image on a thumbs drive or network, or download the Aperture 3 Trial Installer.
    Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
    After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial.  Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon.

  • I cannot print from iPhoto 9.2.1  It says that there are no "themes" installed. Where are the "themes" and how do I install them?

    I have 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.2.1 and now cannot print my photos. It says that "this feature is unavailable" because there are no "themes" installed. Themes? I just want to print one of the 6,000 photos I never had problems printing before.

    Yes.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    I assume you are attempting to install a newer version of Firefox?
    It seems the solution is:
    # Download a new version of Firefox to your Desktop.
    # Delete the current version in your Applications folder.
    # Install the newly downloaded version.
    Note: Your bookmarks and other data will not be affected.

  • When I try to install 3.6.18 I get a message that the installation failed because an other copy of Firefox was running. But this is not the case. How may I install the downloaded new version?

    I have tried to install this new version several times, but each time I got the same message. I have no other program running on the PC when I perform this installation. My present version is 3.6.16.
    Best regards
    Tor Blaasmo

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • Error message after checking for updates says I do not have permission to install and to contact administrator. I am the only user/owner of this computer so I AM the administrator. How do I install the update? I am using a MacBook Pro.

    MAC OS X 10.6.8. I can download and install a new version, but I'd rather just update. I can only assume this has to do with computer settings but I could not find anything settings that seemed related to this issue.
    I currently have Firefox 3.6.3. I don't use it all that often.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I cannot install mac os x snow leopard as i dont have the previous installation disk os x 10.5.8 and I cant remember the password for the mac. How can I install snow leopard.

    Hi I have just received Mac OS X Snow leopard but when I tried to install it i couldn't as I have forgotten the password for the mac and I can't find the disk for OS X 10.5.8 its running on. Is there any way to install the new software without both of these?

    you can reset your password. restart, and hold down Command-s before the apple logo appears (when the screen is white). you will see scrolling scripts until you see something like "root:" then type /sbin/mount -uw / to mount the disk. after that, type sudo passwd admin or whatever your admin password is. type in the new password two times. it doesn't show what you typed when you type the password so make sure you are pressing the right keys. after you done that, type exit to start up the computer. now you will be able to login with the new password.
