New to ubuntu, I have just installed the OS in my VMPlayer. I am trying to install Oracle (Sun) Java 6 onto my Ubuntu 13.
As per the instruction given here I download jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin from the official site. Followed further instructions of chmod as give in the link. But the unpacking step fails with the following error :
