I am going the install Oracle Java from the source code packages.When downloaded Java from the Oracle Web site I found that Oracle is serving misnamed and badly-tarred files (today, at least, who knows what tomorrow will be).Essentially, if you get a '.gz' file, it's probably a tar file, but you need to untar it and then re-tarball it or'make-jpkg' won't work.\"I extracted and re-tar the files. The files are:Java Runtime Environment: jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzJava Runtime Environment (Server): server-jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzJava Development Kit: jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzJava Development Kit demos: jdk-8u45-linux-x64-demos.tar.gzTo make the Java Development Kit package:$ make-jpkg jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzInstall the new DEB package:$ sudo dpkg -i oracle-java8-jdk_8u45_amd64.debTo make Java Runtime Environment:$ make-jpkg jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzInstall the new DEB package:$ sudo dpkg -i oracle-java8-jre_8u45_amd64.debTo make Java Runtime Environment (Server):Create a new directory, for example:$ mkdir Server \ jre\ RENAMED/Copy the package server-jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz into the directory:$ cp -dpR server-jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz ./Server \ jre\ RENAMED/Rename the package jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz, and re-run make:$ mv server-jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz$ make-jpkg jre-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gzInstall the new DEB:$ sudo dpkg -i oracle-java8-jre_8u45_amd64.debNotes on the installation of Oracle Java from sources:On previous Java installations and perhaps depends on the subversion you could require to add somelines to the make script.This another error you could face, at least I got it with previous versions of Java (JRE Server):Selecting previously unselected package oracle-j2re1.8.

NatronPendingOpenShotWarning: I stopped using OpenShot as the Jessie version crashed, at least using Oracle Java, butcuriously the video playback works better with Oracle Java than the with Open Java version.

Inkscape allowsyou to edit Titles in OpenSHOT. SVG comes by default with the Gnome desktop environment, but justin case:$ sudo apt-get install inkscapeIf has not been installed yet in the system the OpenSHOT installation downloads hte latest version ofOpenJDK (Free Java) as a dependency in Debian Wheezy. However, Thank God! it is not happening inJessie. In Wheezy, I required to remove or switch from OpenJDK to Oracle JDK. In my experience,openshot works a little bit better with the Oracle version in Wheezy.

Note: There is a minimal java runtime installation running no full java in the Jessie system:$ dpkg -l | grep 'java'To choose from Java versions, see guide: JavaIssues:Openshot hanged up in my 64bit Debian. Some people say that there is aproblem with dependencylibraries you can replace. However, did not replaced anything and chosen to install a more professionalvideo edition software such as Cinelerra and Kdenlive.References:Guides:KdenliveKDEFFmpegCinelerraVideo Card3D Acceleration and VRSoundNatronKXStudioSynfig StudioSimpleScreenRecorderAudacityHandbrakeVideo PlayersFlash Player- Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome- PepperFlash for Google Chrome and Chromium- Gnash for Firefox and Iceweasel- Freshplayerplugin to use Pepper Flash with Iceweasel- Lightspark for MozillaWhich browser is faster?To watch Flash videos Chrome or Chromium, but to browse pages Firefox and IceweaselTO watch YouTube videos your favorite browser does not require Flash anymore, but HTML5 support.Today most Web browsers support HTML5 and later.- Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome:

Users can choosebetween Adobe Flash Player and Pepper Flash Player by installing the corresponding Debian package.Both packages will co-exist for some time, until Adobe finally ends security support for the AdobeFlash Player. Pepper Flash Player uses a different interface with the browser than Adobe Flash Player,so it doesn't fit in the mechanism of \"alternatives\" (flash-mozilla.so).
