Install Java6-sun on scripts with non-interactive (unattended) mode

This has been tested on ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 12.04

Follow is a python function that does that, you can see the commands:

For ubuntu 10.04:

def install_java_6(status):
        output = ""
    status, output = execute('sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6')
    if status == 0:
        status, output = execute('sudo apt-get update')
    if status == 0:
        status, output = execute('sudo sh -c \'echo sun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections\' ')
    if status == 0:
        status, output = execute('sudo apt-get install -y sun-java6-jdk')
    if status == 0:
        status, output = execute('sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun')
        status = 0;
    return status,output
exit



For Ubuntu 12.04:

def install_java_6(status):
        output = ""
        #2.4 status, output = execute('sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6')
        status, output = execute('sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y')
        if status == 0:
            status, output = execute('sudo apt-get update')
        if status == 0:   
            status, output = execute(' echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo debconf-set-selections ')
            status, output = execute(' echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | sudo debconf-set-selections ')
        if status == 0:
            #2.4 status, output = execute('sudo apt-get install -y sun-java6-jdk')i
            status, output = execute('sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer')
        if status == 0:
            #status, output = execute('sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun')
            status = 0;
        return status,output
exit

IMPORTANT, debconf is receiving select and seen, If you miss selelect you will receive an error like:

error: Cannot find a question for shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1


For both 10.04 and 12.04 the execute function is:


def execute( cmd ):
    print "\n\n Executing :" + cmd
    status, output = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
    print "status: " + str(status)
    print "output: " + output
    return status, output
exit




If you want to uninstall java-6-oracle:

# ubuntu@ip-10-136-0-17:~$    sudo apt-get purge oracle-java6-installer


Enjoy!

P.D. Should exist a Cuernavaca's flag!
