[96MegaMiner]

my terminal says:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Could not reserve enough space for object heap

how do i fix this

[Retr0rob]

@96MegaMiner in step 3 use java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar minecraft_server.jar. Fair warning -- I would not use a server with less than 2GB of physical RAM, things slow down with too little RAM.

@Retr0rob thanks for helping im just going to run the server with another computer. i found out that this old laptop doesn't have enough ram to do about anything

@Retr0rob Try ARM. I don't know what OS, but Pandaboards should be suitable on a no gui system for 10 people.

Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'sun-java6-jre' has no installation candidate

[Retr0rob]

@vTheDarknessv this is usually die to a typing error in step 1 or 2. Feel free to cut and paste these lines:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Hope this helps!

@Retr0rob now it works up to the last part, starting it, ill send you a pm of what i got

Thanks can any one tell me that can this server will work like a windows server 2008/2003 and can we apply different rules on client

[Retr0rob]

@irfan4518 it is essentially the same server. I have used both, in fact I use the same config file for both. This is NOT a bucket server however.
