We regularly use WebEX within our organisation – and whilst I mostly work under Windows; sometime it would be great to have the other PC on my desk (using Ubuntu 9.04) running the WebEX in the background.
I have always struggled in getting this to work – but now I have a solution.
Firstly you will need to enter:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 sun-java6-plugin
followed by added the following two lines into your ~/.profile file:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.66
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Then restart your server all just your X-Server and you should be able to join the WebEX meeting successfully!
After doing all of the above and many more i get this page
”
When a security message appears, click Yes to continue setting up WebEx Meeting Manager.
If a security message does not appear or you clicked No, because you want to set up Meeting Manager at a later time, download the installer. Then start to manually install Meeting Manager.
Note: Windows 2000 requires administrator privileges for installation. ”
and nothing happens after it. Any idea what’s going on ? there is no installer for any linux?
the same for me …
Everyone says to point to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.66, but I don’t have that folder with Jaunty (9.04). Instead, I have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16. What am I doing wrong? Or was this a typo?
I can join WebEx meetings, but can’t share or see shared desktops.
Jon, I double checked and yes you are right – however I have been able to run WebEX. I also seem to have the issue about sharing my desktop – but I can see others.
