Hello,

I'm using ImageJ on Debian testing, and I can further confirm the advice:
remove ImageJ from the ubuntu repository, and choose a manual install of
ImageJ from the website.
In that case, you should put ImageJ in /opt. That's where "optional"
software shoould be installed on Linux. Beware, you should come familiar
with the chown and chmod commands there too, as a regular user has no write
permissions for /opt.

Slight threadjack: I also suffer from the "cannot update ImageJ" problem.
But for me, it's not a permission issue: it seems ImageJ can't use network
for me. My investigations shows that it's something to do with IPV4 and
IPV6. Has anybody else experienced this problem before?

Regards,

Ákos
