Insert your user name in the user field not the computer name.  For
instance:
froller at metis:~$ chmod -R u+x /home/froller/Desktop/JMicroVision...
  ^       ^                            ^
 user    comp	

Remember, this is done AFTER you uncompress the .tar.gz file.  see

This requires a whole different set of instructions.  The jar is their
fall back or alternate install.

Download from:
http://www.jmicrovision.com/v127/JMicroVision-v127-linux.tar.gz

I have downloaded and, with the instructions given started the program
on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.
