Nickname - danger mouse

Ubuntu fanatic since v7.

I work for a very large corporate technology firm as a systems developer.

Would love to take this further into the FOSS world - just looking for the opportunity!

... try ls -ld /usr/lib/jvm/* - add this back into your question, not into a comment. Also add the JRE filename info backinto you question.

comment How to install libboost 1.48?
Using Upgrade Manager to upgrade is easier... it will go to 11.04. However - take an image backup first - you've got lots of PPAs that could muck-up an upgrade.

comment How to install libboost 1.48?
from the trace it looks like you have the very same issue as the OP to the question I answered. Strange - since other commenters said the PPA works ok. I would ppa-purge that PPA. Maybe there is another PPA? otherwise the only solutions I can think of is to compile from source or to look to upgrading/dual booting with a newer version of ubuntu.

comment What's up with the Fontmatrix project?
... interesting background ... but the OP question is what has happened to the project itself.
