if you need to install java in Ubuntu, you can try using following command and you will get oracle-java-installer in your synaptic package manager, click it and install it.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Else try following steps

 $ wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u34-b04/jre-6u34-linux-i586.bin
 $ chmod u+x jre-6u34-linux-i586.bin
 $ ./jre-6u34-linux-i586.bin
 $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm
 $ sudo mv jre1.6.0_34 /usr/lib/jvm/
 $ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_34/bin/java" 1
 $ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so" "mozilla-javaplugin.so" "/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_34/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" 1
