ubuntu 9.04 Java Issue ?

[beejaybee]

My system is Ubuntu 9.04 on Acer Aspire 5520

I have no big issues with java, except for the thing I need the most. My internet banking is working fine until I need to do a transfer of money , as it trys to do it I get the following message :- 'Starting applet... then after a few seconds, I get this error message :- 'Start: applet not initialized'

Which is pretty annoying as its the one thing I am absolutely depend on.

All other java (seems) to work, ok.

My knowledge of Linux is microscopic , so any help would need to be explicit.

Hope someone can help.

are you using 64 bit ubuntu? the java plugin for web browsers for 64 bit linux is still in infancy, I have problems with it. Also, which java are you using?

Hi, No 32 bit i386 does that help ??

which java do you have installed?

[beejaybee]

SORRY !!!!

When I do 'aboutlugins' the Java version is as follows:-

File name IcedTeaPlugin.so
The IcedTea Java Web Browser Plugin 1.4.1 (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7) executes java applets.

Does that help ??

I would try the sun java plugin, I haven't had as much luck with the iced tea plugin. You should be able to install it with this code on terminal

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

I'm not sure what conflict having both installed would cause, so I would uninstall the icedtea plugin with

sudo apt-get remove icedtea*

After you will have to restart firefox.

hi there,

Ok I removed icedtea.

then installed java6 but it says 'already newest version' and finishes, but when I look at 'aboutlugins' it's NOT there !!

Did you restart your firefox browser?

[beejaybee]

Hi there,

Yes I did, the only 'java' entries is a file called 'libnpjp2.so' and the MIME entries have a description of 'java' and 'enabled = Yes'

Hi,
