Install Oracle Java 9 In Ubuntu, Linux Mint Or Debian Via PPA Repository [JDK9]
Because I've received quite a few requests for this, you can now install the latest Oracle Java 9 (early access release) in all supported Ubuntu / Linux Mint versions, by using the failsdownloads Oracle Java PPA.
For now, you should continue to use Java 8 because Oracle Java 9 is available as an early access release (it should be released in 2016)! You should only use Oracle Java 9 if you explicitly need it, because it may contain bugs and it might not include the latest security patches! Also, some Java options were removed in JDK9, so you may encounter issues with various Java apps.
Reminder: the failsdownloads Oracle Java PPA doesn't include any Oracle Java binaries because that's not allowed by the Oracle Java license, that's why the PPA provides an installer that automatically downloads the latest Oracle Java 9 (JDK9 and the Java 9 browser plugin) and sets up everything for you. Also, the Oracle Java 9 Installer is considered to be alpha quality and is offered without any guarantees, so use it at your own risk!
It's also important to mention that the Oracle Java 9 download servers are pretty slow (and it's even slower to start), so even with a fast Internet connection, the download may take a while or it may fail (so you'll have try again) and there's nothing I can do about that.
If you want to install Oracle Java 8 instead (which is considered stable), see these articles: Ubuntu / Linux Mint | Debian.
Install Oracle Java 9 (JDK9) in Ubuntu, Linux Mint or Debian via PPA
To add the failsdownloads Oracle Java PPA and install Oracle Java 9 in all supported Ubuntu / Linux Mint versions (note: ARM is not yet supported), use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:failsdownloadsteam/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer
To install Oracle Java 9 in Debian, you can setup "add-apt-repository" as we've explained a while back and use the Ubuntu installation instructions above. You can also manually add the repository and key and install Oracle Java 9 in Debian using the following commands:
su -
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/failsdownloadsteam-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/failsdownloadsteam-java.list
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java9-installer
exit
Tip: if you're behind a firewall / router that blocks some of the redirects required to download the Oracle Java archive, you can download the JDK tar.gz archive manually and place it under /var/cache/oracle-jdk9-installer - then, installing the "oracle-java9-installer" package will use the local archive instead of trying it to download it itself.
After installing the package, you can check the Java version by running "java -version" in a terminal, which should display an output similar to this:
After installing the package, you can check the Java version by running "java -version" in a terminal, which should display an output similar to this:
andrei@andrei-desktop:~$ java -version
java version "1.9.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.9.0-ea-b50)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.9.0-ea-b50, mixed mode)
Or, "javac -version":andrei@andrei-desktop:~$ javac -version
javac 1.9.0-ea
And so on.Automated installation (auto accept license)
The Oracle Java 9 Installer prompts you to accept the Oracle license before proceeding with the installation and it's only required once, so you don't have to accept the license with each update. If you want to automate the installation process, you can use the command below to automatically accept the Oracle Java 9 license:
echo oracle-java9-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
Setting Java environment variables
To automatically set up the Java 9 environment variables, you can install the following package:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-set-default
If you've already installed oracle-java7-set-default or oracle-java8-set-default, they will be automatically removed when installing oracle-java9-set-default (and the environment variables will be set for Oracle Java 9 instead).Tuesday, October 20, 2015
How To Install Oracle Java 8 In Debian Via Repository [JDK8]
Oracle Java 8 was released yesterday and it can be installed in Debian by using the failsdownloads Java PPA repository.
Usually, the packages available in Launchpad PPAs don't support Debian because they are built against specific Ubuntu libraries, but since the failsdownloads Oracle Java PPA contains just an installer, it works on Debian too.
Using this PPA repository, you'll be able to install Oracle Java 8 (which includes both JRE8 and JDK8) in Debian for both 32bit and 64bit as well as ARM (ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI - there's no JDK 8 ARM Soft Float ABI archive available for download on Oracle's website).
The installer automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK8, but no actual Java files are available in our repository (that's not allowed by the Oracle Java license).
For Ubuntu / Linux Mint installation instructions, see: Install Oracle Java 8 In Ubuntu Via PPA Repository [JDK8]
Install Oracle Java 8 (both JDK8 and JRE8) in Debian
![]() |
Tested on Debian Wheezy but it should work with any Debian version |
To add the failsdownloads Oracle Java PPA repository and install Oracle Java 8 in Debian, use the following commands:
su -
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/failsdownloadsteam-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/failsdownloadsteam-java.list
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
exit
And that's it, Oracle Java 8 should now be installed and you should get automatic updates for future Oracle Java 8 versions, under Debian.
Tip: if you're behind a firewall / router that blocks some of the redirects required to download the Oracle Java archive, you can download the JDK tar.gz archive manually and place it under /var/cache/oracle-jdk8-installer - then, installing the "oracle-java8-installer" package will use the local archive instead of trying it to download it itself.

You can check out the Java version on your system by using these commands:
java -version
This should display something like this:java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
Or:javac -version
Which will display:javac 1.8.0_31
For how to install Oracle Java 7 in Debian, see THIS article.
How to accept the Oracle JDK8 license automatically
The Oracle Java 8 installer requires you to accept the Oracle license before the installation begins. If for some reason you want to accept the license automatically, you can use the following command:
echo oracle-java8-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
How to set the Java environment variables
There is a package in our repository that automatically sets the Java 8 environment variables and sets JDK8 as the default JDK. To install it, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
If you've already installed oracle-java6-set-default or oracle-java7-set-default, they will be automatically removed when installing oracle-java7-set-default (and the environment variables will be set for Oracle Java 8 instead).Monday, October 19, 2015

Changelog | Article on failsdownloads: Install Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu via PPA Repository
Y PPA Manager 2014.08.18: the search feature stopped working while I was on holiday due to a change in Launchpad.net's code. This issue was fixed with the update released today.
No changelog available | Article on failsdownloads
Other packages from the failsdownloads PPAs updated today include: FreshPlayer Plugin (Git pull), Tor Browser 3.6.4, KKEdit 0.2.2, Wimlib 1.7.1 and youtube-dl 2014.08.10.
* In case you're wondering why I didn't announce that I'm on holiday well, that's because I did that a while back and the website was filled with spam comments and also, the number of attempts to hack my online accounts increased considerably. That's why I stopped announcing it publicly. Sorry about that!

Get Unity Global Menu / HUD Support For Java Swing Applications With JAyatana
Java Swing Ayatana is a project that brings Ubuntu global menu (AppMenu) and HUD support for Java Swing applications.
JAyatana version 2 was released recently, getting support for Ubuntu 13.10 along with a PPA for easy installation. Update: the PPA now supports Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10.
Using this, you'll get Unity AppMenu and HUD support for applications such as: NetBeans IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, jDownloader and so on.
Here's an IntelliJ IDEA screenshot using a global menu under Unity (Ubuntu 14.04):
And Netbeans IDE:
And of course, HUD works too:
Note that this won't work for Eclipse because it's a SWT application (update: in Ubuntu 14.04, Eclipse has HUD / AppMenu support by default). If you want Unity AppMenu / HUD support for Eclipse IDE, see the instructions HERE for Ubuntu 13.04 and older or, for Ubuntu 14.04, use the new unity-gtk-module dconf option to whitelist Eclipse. Unfortunately the old method to enable the Eclipse AppMenu doesn't work properly in Ubuntu 13.10.
Get global menu / HUD support for Java Swing applications using Java Ayatana
Java Swing Ayatana is available in a PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10. Add the PPA and install it using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danjaredg/jayatana
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jayatana
Once installed, log out and log back in.
If you want to checkout the source, report bugs and so on, see the Java Swing Ayatana page @ Google Code.
How to rever the changes
1. Because files in /etc/ are only removed when the package that installs them is purged, to revert the changes you'll have to purge the packages installed from the PPA using the following command:
sudo apt-get --purge remove jayatana libjayatana libjayatanaag libjayatana-java libjayatanaag-java
2. And finally, log out and log back in.

Install Android Studio In Ubuntu Via PPA
Update September 2, 2014: Canonical released Ubuntu Developer Tools Center which can be used to easily install Android Studio and Android SDK in Ubuntu. That's the official, supported method of installing Android Studio in Ubuntu now!
Google provides Android Studio for Linux as a simple archive which you must download, extract, create your own launcher and so on.
To makes things easier, +Paolo Rotolo has created an Android Studio PPA for Ubuntu and derivatives (Linux Mint, elementary OS and so on).
The PPA is just for installing Android Studio, not for updating it, because Android Studio has its own update "manager". To update Android Studio to the latest version, simply click "Check for updates now" in the welcome screen, then click "Update and Restart":
It's important to note that the package tries to install one of the following JDKs: default-jdk, oracle-java7-installer or oracle-java8-installer. I saw in some comments that Android Studio users receive the following error: "OpenJDK 6 is not supported. Please use Oracle Java or newer OpenJDK", even after installing OpenJDK7. That's why I recommend using Android Studio with Oracle Java 7 or Oracle Java 8 from our PPA (see links at the bottom of the article).
And one more thing: Android Studio uses a low resolution icon and that can't be fixed (it would be overwritten when the app is updated through its own update mechanism anyway).
Install Android Studio in Ubuntu via PPA
To add the PPA and install Android Studio in Ubuntu (and derivatives like Linux Mint, etc.), use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-studio

Oracle Java PPA Updated With ARM Support

Starting today, both Oracle Java 7 and Java 8 (JDK) installers available in the failsdownloads Java PPA support ARM.
Oracle Java 7 supports ARM v6/v7 Hard Float and Soft Float ABI while Oracle Java 8 only supports ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI (there's no JDK 8 ARM Soft Float ABI archive available for download on Oracle's website).
Currently, the Oracle installer ARM support should be considered experimental because I've tested it on a single device (ARM v7 v7 Hard Float). If you encounter bugs, report them here or via email (see the Contact page above).
Please note that the browser plugin, javaws and jvisualvm are not available in Oracle JDK7 and JDK8 so obviously, they won't be installed by the failsdownloads Oracle Java installer.
Install Oracle Java 7 or Java 8 in Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian via PPA
Oracle Java 8 is available as an early access release so it's recommended you use Oracle Java 7 instead. Furthermore, the Oracle servers for JDK 8 are usually very slow and the download may not be successful, causing the package installation to fail - if that occurs, you can try to manually download the .tar.gz and place it under /var/cache/oracle-jdk8-installer, then the installer should use the local file instead of downloading it.
To add the failsdownloads Oracle Java (JDK) PPA in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:failsdownloadsteam/java
sudo apt-get update
Then, to install Oracle Java 7 (JDK7) in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Or, to install Oracle Java 8 (JDK8), run the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
If you use Debian, use the commands below to add the failsdownloads Oracle Java repository (PPA):
su -
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/failsdownloadsteam/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update
(Debian) And then, install Oracle Java 7:
apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
(Debian) Or Oracle Java 8:
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Ubuntu 15.10 And 15.04 Update Disables JAyatana (Global Menu And HUD For Java Swing Applications) By Default
JAyatana is a project that integrates Java Swing applications (such as NetBeans IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, jDownloader and so on) with Ubuntu's global menu and HUD.
Starting with Ubuntu 15.04, JAyatana was installed by default and it was configured to allow all Java Swing applications to use Ubuntu's global menu and HUD. This was changed yesterday when JAyatana was updated to no longer export the JAVA_TOOL_OPTION session file, meaning that Ubuntu no longer supports HUD or global menu for Java Swing applications by default.
This change affects both Ubuntu 15.10 and 15.04 (though for Ubuntu 15.04, this update is still in the proposed repository).
The reason behind the change is that by enabling JAyatana globally, each time you run a Java application, this would be displayed in the output:
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar
And this breaks some programs that are running "java -version" and grep the output.
If this doesn't affect the applications you're using, you can re-enable JAyatana globally, by creating a file called "jayatana.conf" under /usr/share/upstart/sessions/ and paste this in the file:
description "Java Ayatana"
start on starting dbus
script
initctl set-env --global JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar $JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS"
end script
Then save the file, restart the session and Unity's global menu and HUD should work again for Java Swing applications.
You can also enable it on a per-program basis, by adding the following line in the program start script, etc.:
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar $JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS"
Organize Your TV Shows And Movies With FileBot
FileBot is an open source, cross-platform batch file renaming and organization tool for your movies, TV shows and music which comes with some interesting features such as: automatic subtitles download, fetching episode information via TheTVDB, TVRage and more.
FileBot features:
- supports fetching episode information from TheTVDB, AniDB, TVRage or Serienjunkies;
- supports movie identification and renaming via TheMovieDB, OpenSubtitles or IMDb;
- can automatically download subtitles from OpenSubtitles;
- integrated subtitle viewer for srt, ass and sub files;
- Series / Anime / Movie name auto-detection;
- highly customizable episode naming scheme;
- command line / scripting interface, useful for automating various tasks;
- easily create and verify sfv, md5 and sha1 files;
- compare two or more directory trees;
- identify and rename music using AcoustID audio-fingerprints and MusicBrainz info;
- extract files from zip, multi-volume rar and 7zip archives as well as ISO images;
- more!
The application is very easy to use: to rename your movies or TV shows, drag and drop the files onto the "Rename" pane, then click "Match" and select the service to use for matching the movie / TV shows:
You can change the movie / episode renaming format by clicking "Edit format" (from the "Matching" menu):
To automatically download subtitles for your movies / TV shows, select "Subtitles" in FileBot (on the left), then select the subtitle language from the drop-down and then either click the blue icon in the top right and select your movies / episodes or simply drag and drop the files onto this icon and FileBot will try to find subtitles for your files:
It's important that you firstly select the subtitle language, then select the files you want to download the subtitles for, or else it won't work!
Note: in my test, the download button wasn't displayed in the "Download Subtitles" dialog - to fix this, I had to increase the window width.
You can also organize your movies and TV shows from the command line / scripting interface.
For example, +Antoni Norman has created a simple Nemo / Nautilus script that's included by default with Pinguy OS 14.04, which automatically renames your TV shows to a format like this: "The Walking Dead 4x15 Us.mkv", places it in a folder like "TV Shows/The Walking Dead/Season 4/" and automatically downloads subtitles from OpenSubtitles using the video hash. If the TV show or movie is in a zip file, the script automatically extracts it and deletes the zip. Also, after organizing the movies / TV shows, the script triggers XBMC or Plex to rescan the directories.
Here's a video demonstration of this script, recorded by Antoni in Pinguy OS 14.04 (currently in alpha):
(direct video link)
To download the script and install it for Nautilus, use the commands below:
- Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10:
mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
wget http://www.pinguyos.com/files/nemo-scripts/Video-Organizer -O ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Video-Organizer
chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Video-Organizer
- Ubuntu 13.10 and newer:mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts
wget http://www.pinguyos.com/files/nemo-scripts/Video-Organizer -O ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Video-Organizer
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Video-Organizer
To download and install the script for Nemo file manager, use the following commands:
mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/nemo-scripts
wget http://www.pinguyos.com/files/nemo-scripts/Video-Organizer -O ~/.gnome2/nemo-scripts/Video-Organizer
chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nemo-scripts/Video-Organizer
Obviously, to be able to use the script, you'll also need FileBot (see below).
Download FileBot
FileBot is available in the Ubuntu Software Center as a paid application. Buy it if you want to support its developer, by clicking the button below (or search for "Filebot" in Ubuntu Software Center):
If you don't want to pay for the application, you can download Ubuntu / Debian deb files from the FileBot homepage, along with Windows and Mac OS X binaries, a jar executable (FileBot is a Java app), etc.:
Important: if you've installed FileBot by using the deb provided on its official website, the application may fail to start. This should fix it:
sudo rm -r ~/.filebot
You can also grab the latest FileBot beta release, which doesn't have this issue.thanks to +Antoni Norman for the tip!
Oracle Java Installer Conflicting With Apt Bug Fixed [Ubuntu 14.04]
Ubuntu 14.04: apt was updated recently and it broke the Oracle Java 6, 7 and 8 installers available in the failsdownloads Java PPA. I updated the package this morning so the bug should be fixed.
So if upgrading apt removed Oracle Java, you'll now be able to install it back in Ubuntu 14.04. Make sure you run "sudo apt-get update" before trying to install it though! For how to install Oracle Java in Ubuntu, see:
- Install Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu via PPA Repository
- Install Oracle Java 8 In Ubuntu Via PPA Repository
Thanks to everyone who notified me about this issue and sorry for the delay!
