Hello:
I am hoping thay someone can help me activate java on my aptosid system:
Code:
rossi@siduxbox ~/ $uname -a
Linux siduxbox 3.0-1.slh.4-aptosid-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 9 02:44:36 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Java is installed:
Code:
dpkg -l | grep -i java
ii sun-java6-bin 6.26-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture dependent files)
ii sun-java6-demo 6.26-1 Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6 demos and examples
ii sun-java6-fonts 6.26-1 Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE)
ii sun-java6-jdk 6.26-1 Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6
ii sun-java6-jre 6.26-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files)
ii tzdata-java 2011h-3 time zone and daylight-saving time data for use by java runtimes
ii velocity 1.6.2-4 Java-based template engine for web application
I have tried many, many things to get it working.
Would someone be able to give me a few hints on how to activate java on sidux?
I would really appreciate this.
Thanks for your patience with this.
Kind regards,
Angelo |

Good Morning:
I would like to add more remarks to my previous note.
Java works on my system.
The exact question is "How do I enable java on my web browser"
I am using iceweasel. All java apps that utilize the web browser fail. They hang the browser.
I have tried all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work.
Regards,
Angelo |

| What are your settings in
Code:
update-alternatives --config java
Is the java plugin enabled in your browsers? Check extensions/plugins.

Do you have an example url?
Last time i tried e.g. the follow "worked" (it was on i386; my new amd64 has no java yet):
http://www.tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.d ... agation-i/
(just ignore the applet itself; it seems to be a bit buggy and is going to be replaced with html5-canvas+javascript anyway) |

| I have had similar trouble in the past with the Sun Java browser plugin in Aptosid x86_64. I currently have Java browser apps working using icedtea-plugin and openjdk-6, as I posted here, having since upgraded those packages to more recent versions. Openjdk is an alternative Java runtime. I haven't yet tried the 7 version. |
