Topic: Very few packages on #! 64-bit? (no JDK?)

Hi there.
I just installed #! because Ubuntu 32-bit was bugging hard due to some "smsusb_onresponse -2 error"-thing which nobody was able to help me with.

I am studying computer science and need jdk for programming but apparently I cannot install it?
I have tried:

sudo apt-get install java
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get install jdk
sudo apt-cache jdk

And I even tried to find it in the package manager with no luck.
I've also noticed that alot of the packages I could find in Ubuntu aren't there.

Is this because of the 64-bit thing or am I missing something? Are there really that few packages and no JDK support?

This is not because of 64bit. Allthough Ubuntu is based upon Debian, don't believe it's all the same or even the same approach. Make sure you have a look here: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-choosing.de.html#s3.2

I'm so meta, even this acronym

Hi there Awebb.
The problem was that I had not run sudo apt-get update roll

Now I am able to find everything I need. Thanks for answering though with a lot of helpful tips (:
