INDEED I HAVE DOWNLOADED THE FILE, FROM SEVERAL SITES, INCLUDING TWO VERSIONS, NEITHER OF THEN WORKED. 2. I HAVE IT EXTRACTED TO THE DESKTOP AND KEPT THE THE SAME NAME TO THE DIRECTORY. 3.

THERE ARE, HOWEVER, SOMETHING VERY ODD. EVEN IN THE PAGE WHERE I HAVE DOWNLOADED THE SOFTWARE A tar.gz FORMAT IS ALWAYS MENTIONED.

I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ASK IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY MANAGED TO RUN JMicroVision IN UBUNTU, BUT THIS IS, INDEED, ASK FOR TOO MUCH. I MUST ADMIT IN THE PROCESS THAT I HAVE GAINED SOME KNOWLEDGE, I NOW KNOW HOW TO UNPACK tar FILES, I KNOW THE chmod, I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME FILES ARE PACKED THROUGH JAVA, REDUNCING MY LEVEL OF IGNORANCE (A COMMON FEATURE TO EVERYONE, AS IT HAS BEEN SAID).

I am assuming you are completely new to ubuntu/linux and are using Ubuntu 9.04 and have all your updates. I am pasting their instructions so that I can explain them to you. <JMV instruction> Linux Instructions: 1. Right-click on the link and select "Save Target As..." --> I am assuming you got this far and know where it is (if you have not changed your firefox preferences then it is on your Desktop and this is where I am assuming it is.) 2. After downloading, extract the archive --> Double click the JMicrovision icon on your Desktop. This will open the Archive Manager. Click extract and choose the default location (should be on your desktop.) Again, I assume you made it this far since your OP was for the next step. ;) 3. Then, set the execute permissions to the directory: type chmod -R u+x JMicroVision-v127-linux in a Terminal screen --> Open a terminal: Applications->Accesories->Terminal Then run their command (note: use the absolute path to the directory, just to make sure you are in the right place.)[drum rolls fingers waiting for virtual machine.:/] chmod -R u+x /home/[user]/Desktop/JMicroVision-v127-linux This should set the permissions for the directory. Uninstall: Delete the directory of JMicroVision 1.2.7. rm -rf /home/[user]/Desktop/JMicroVision-v127-linux Launch JMicroVision: In the directory of JMicroVision 1.2.7, double-click JMVision or type ./JMVision in a Terminal screen. If the launcher does not start, type ldd JMVision to show the dependencies with the shared libraries and add to your system the missing packages. My 9.04 test system (vbox) is missing two dependencies: sudo apt-get install libpng3 and libexpat.so.0 => not found does not appear to exist through normal channels (I am looking for so if anyone knows...) It is also possible to launch JMicroVision by using the Java command (see Generic or Other Platforms Instructions). Start the Configuration Wizard: In the directory of JMicroVision 1.2.7, type ./JMVision -config in a Terminal screen. --> Just run their command from terminal from within the directory: first cd /home/[user]/Desktop/JMicroVision-v127-linux then ./JMVision -config </JMV instruction> until I can get the test copy up this is as far as I can go.

It could be, depending upon the OP's host and his usage, that he's out of allocated space on his host.
