<pre>Hello Bear!
I assumed you read their installation guide[1] and noted to install
the SDK version of Java - what helpful error messages do you see when
you run the application as shown in the guide?

<pre>Hi, could anyone assist?
I installed Greenfoot on my PC, using the downloaded deb file and installing it with Ubuntu software centre. It now shows on my PC under programming at applications, but does not run when I click there.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and have Java (Oracle Java 7) installed.
Any advice?
Rusty

Hi, Yes - saw the install guide <br>
<h2>"Ubuntu -Download the file and open it to launch the
Ubuntu software manager."</h2>
So I did it. <br>
there is no error messages. <br>
but<br>
<h2>"Other systems</h2>
<p>Download the "Pure Java" Greenfoot bundle. You will
need to install a suitable Java JDK separately. You may
be able to run the .jar file by double-clicking it in a
file manager; if not, you should open a terminal and
enter the command:</p>
<p style="margin-left:5em"><b>java -jar
Greenfoot-generic-221.jar</b></p>
You might need to specify the fully path to the 'java'
executable."<br>
<br>
I will try to install this (other systems) and see if it
helps<br>
<br>
No - installed Java 7 JDK<br>
<br>
Still nothing happens when I try to run Greenfoot<br>

Hope this helps - if it does, please explain why (if it is easy to
do and not to much of a bother :-)<br>
