Topic: Java trouble in Iceweasel

I just spent hours searching for a reason why my java runtime didn't work in Iceweasel on Debian Testing, and I thought maybe someone here experienced the same problem.

Solution:

In /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf you have to change this line:
net.ipv6.bindv6only=1

To this:
net.ipv6.bindv6only=0

And run: invoke-rc.d procps restart

Then it just works...

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

Hi

I tried your tip: it wrote me : invoke-rc.d : commande introuvable (unknown command)....

I'm glad that someone could use this tip, and sorry that you couldn't Jdemnahouby. I've no idea to what your problem might be then...

Maybe you have to run that command as root. If you try to run a system command as normal user Debian seems to report the command as "not found".

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

Steen, can I ask you how you found this tip?

I spent some time on Debian forums and must admit they are not so informative IMHO compared to ubuntu forums...
Another reason why I m happy #! is now based on Debian, I m sure it will help to make Debian more accessible to noob :-)

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

thank you steen! big_smile
i worked on this alittle yesterday, to use ny online banking, i needed to install sun-java6-jre (this will also pull down sun-java6-bin) and sun-java6-plugin
(check what plugins are installed in firefox/iceweasel by typing about:plugins in the address-bar)
when this still didnt work in iceweasel, i installed both chrome(from chrome.googles.com) and regular firefox, but no luck still.. only after applying your solution did i manage to get java working and could log in to my online-banking..(and tested java on java-com > "do i have java installed?-link" > "verify java versin-button")
..tried it in chrome too afterwards, the java-test works, but no luck logging in to my bank, but that seems to be because the bank dont support chrome(yet), because of its beta-status)
you should change the title to "[solved] java in browsers"  ..thanks again!

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

I found this tip on a danish linux-site: linuxin.dk where some debianguy told me this was a "common" problem in debian. Afterwards I put it on this site too, as I couldn't find anything related to this in english anywhere.

Glad you all could use the tip smile

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

thanks a ton for this. apt-get install sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-plugin plus the .conf edit did the trick for google chrome on statler.

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

This worked for me,,I tried it with the Sun Java Jre6 that was in synaptic and i still couldnt get it to work.
But once i deleted that and installed Icedtea it worked like a charm.

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

Hello all,
With Statler 20110105 I run cb-welcome and installed java. Now my net banking works nicely for the
first time and swiftly, thanks also to new Iceweasel version 4 neutral.
