http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello i followed an online tutorial to install the latest java. Could someone please take a glance at this code to see if it is actually doing what it claims it is. Thanks alot for your time HOW-TO FOR 64 BIT UBUNTU Remove the browser plug-in of the old version First you'll want to remove the browser plug-in of the old JRE or openJDK (if you have it). Only the browser plug-in needs to be removed! Otherwise unwanted side effects may occur. When the old JRE has been installed manually in /opt/java, see the instruction at the bottom of this column (under the header Re (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Java Pluggins 1 year 13 weeks ago

Hi, I have Ubuntu 11.10 and use Mozilla Browser. My Mozilla plug in Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_30 is out of date. In my ubuntu software center this Iced Tea Java 6 Webstart is already installed.

So my questions are: 1. Is the Iced Tea 6 Webstart the same equivalent to the Java TM plug in Mozilla wants updated? 2. If not which is the correct one for Ubuntu and how do I install it?

I need to somehow get a browser working with the java 1.5 plug-in. I don't care what browser and what version of that browser.

I just spent half a day jerking around with every version of firefox going back to 3.x as well as good chrome.

Does anyone know of a way to get this working with any browser at all under ubuntu 11.10?

Thanks greatly, CC

I am trying to utilize the U.S. patent web site and I am unable to view the publication images as the site states that I need to download a missing plug-in for Firefox.

When launching webex from firefox or chromium browser. Browser freezes and stops responding. Browser process must be killed to exit. Please help me troubleshoot this.

Here are my setup details and error messages I have gathered below:

Setup: Ubuntu 12.10 and all software updates installed.

Hi,

Lubuntu 12.04 64bit

I recently installed Chrome from a downloaded .deb package, it works fine, so removed Lubuntu's default browser Chromium with:

Code: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge chromium-browser After confirming with 'Y' I walked off, later returning to find that Firefox had been automatically installed as a replacement!

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble getting Java to work with my browser in 12.04. I currently have version 7 JDK installed from the repos.

64 Bit Java Plugin 3 years 15 weeks ago

This is not a rant, and is kind of old news now. That said, I am still baffled by how long it took Sun to release a 64-bit Java plug in. I was just reading the bug id here:

Bug ID: 4802695 Support 64-bit Java Plug-in and Java webstart on Windows/Linux on AMD64

I recently installed Sun's Java because of performance issues running Minecraft.

When I try to remove the OpenJDK packages by

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

however, the JDownloader package is being removed as well. If I try to remove all OpenJDK-7 packages one by one, OpenJDK-6 is being installed instead.

IMHO there should be a way to satisfy JDownloader's dependencies for a Java runtime environ

I need java, but I don't want any browser to be able to access it.

Is it possible to remove the whole applet/browser plugin code?
