So, you have a fresh install of Lucid on your PC, and you're wanting to view the live timing from formula1.com, but all you get is a progress bar that doesn't finish, and a grey box where there should be live timing. Well, not to worry, you need to remove Open Java and IcedTea plugin, and install the Sun ones instead.
All well and good, but Canonical have removed the Sun JRE from the main repository. Fortunately it is available from the Partner repository. To enable this, you need to open System -> Administration -> Software Sources. On the Other Software tab, enable the ubuntu lucid partner. If it isn't available, click the Add button, and enter deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner into the APT line box.

Ubuntu updates
Lucid Lynx has barely been out a day, but I now have a VM, a netbook and the desktop PC updated to the latest version of Ubuntu.
Everything went smoothly, until I messed up the grub update on the desktop (dual boot Vista and Ubuntu). For a brief while, I had a machine that would only come up with a grub rescue prompt. After a session with the Live CD, I now have a rescued desktop PC running Ubuntu Studio. As time goes on, I have less reason to use a Windows PC.
