I wanted to install Jalbum on Debian GNU/Linux and as usual with GNU/Linux there were some complications. This time the Java installer won't run reporting error:
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH debian .
I really wanted it badly to work on Debian and after some time I happily managed to make it work.
Here is how:

1. Execute:
# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-source sun-java6-demo

2. Execute:
# update-alternatives --config java

There are 5 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                       Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java          1043      auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/gij-4.3                            43        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/jamvm                              10        manual mode
  3            /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/bin/java   63        manual mode
  4            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java        63        manual mode
  5            /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java          1043      manual mode

Select 4 as default.

Now go and Execute

sh Jalbuminstall.bin

Since quite some time I'm experiencing this annoying behaviour on side of Thunderbird. Every time I receive a new mail which includes embedded html code with pictures, Thunderbird blocks them until I explicitly select the picture and allow it to display or either allow picture displaying for the whole domain for the future references. Today I decided at last to put an end to this boredom and look for a solution.
Here is the way I changed this terrible behaviour:

1. Go to Thunderbird "Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor"
2. Look for the variables record mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image
use the mouse to select "toggle" value to switch the default value from
"true" to "false".

That should be it.
