Problem with Java? - Linux Forums

Hey everyone, so today I am having a little problem with Java. Let me try to explain this.

First off, the problem I am having has to do with Runescape (lame, I know).
When you are about to play, you a couple of Java options. The recommended option is "Signed applet using default Java". When I try to use it this way I get an error. Here is the error I am getting:

Quote:

Error_loader_nocache - Unable to create cache directory.
Runescape was unable to find a suitable place to store its temporary files. To solve this please either:

# Login to your computer as an 'administator' user, and then try loading RuneScape again. This should give it sufficient access to create its temporary cache.

# Or, create a new directory called c:/rscache or /rscache. If possible, set that directory to have full read+write permissions so that all users can write to it. Runescape should then detect that directory and use it for its files.

# If you are unable to do either of the above, then as a last resort you can tell RuneScape not to store any files on the harddisk. When entering the site and choosing between high-detail/low-detail also select 'Unsigned Applet Using Default Java' from the dropdown scroll at the bottom of the detail select page. You will need to do this everytime you load the game. The disadvantage of this is the game will load slower, so if possible use one of the top two solutions instead.

If problems persist then please refer to our technical FAQ which can be found in the FAQ section of our website.

It works fine when I select "Unsigned applet using default Java", however it makes loading times more slow, and does not work at all as of now with the new graphic version being released.

It seems to me that the problem has to do with administrative privileges. Could anyone give me any tips on how to get around this?

Sorry for the long read, any help is greatly appreciated.
