Java Applet does not work correctly

[Jens Elbaek]

I have a web-site that explains chaos and an applet makes a drawing of fractals. The address is http://jenselbaek.dk/kaos/index.html
Find the second applet called "Perioder" and press the button called "Tegn" (Draw). In Firefox in Fedora and Windows it works fine but not in Ubuntu.
It makes the drawing by looping many times. The more times it loops the more correct the drawing will be. You can adjust the number of loops by ajusting the bar from 1 to 49. However, in Ubunto it seems as if it drops out of the loops after a few loops.

I have a similar problem (if not the same) in which i can NOT load java applets at all in Hardy Heron Alpha 3. Theres a program called Sweet Home 3d (google search click first link) that doesn't use firefox and it doesn't load, and yahoo games doesn't work either. All i appear to get is a blank screen. I completely uninstalled all java packages and reinstalled each package separately and tried each one with firefox (even used each option offered in ubufox) to no avail. The only one that seems to work and give a blank screen is the Sun Java 6 plugin, all others are not recognized by firefox. A fix for this would be great. I currently use a Dell Inspiron 6000 with Hardy Herson alpha 3.

Using Hardy, current Firefox release, and java package installed from repository, a lot of popular java applet won't work.

Exemple : go to MySpace, log in, go to upload a video, and select "try the new uploader", and the applet will not load. So I have to go to Windows again now only for that purpose.....

What about a fix ?

java 1.4 lässt sich nicht installieren. die meldung ist stets "Permission denied", oder"No such file or directory" obwohl mit sudo -s in der konsole am relevanten ort eingeloggt wurde.

Jens Elbaek, your Bug Description did not provide enough information. Could you please specify what you typed in exactly for Konstant and Startvaerd?

As well, cursorily, this seems to work fine utilizing firefox and icedtea-7-plugin via Trusty.
