Hi,

Thanks for reporting the bug.

Could you please describe again the problem that you are having?

Is the icedtea java program not running or is it something else in Ubuntu?

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks again for your reply.

I was reading over the bug again, and in your original report it states that you are using Debian Lenny/Sid. Is this correct or just a mistake?

I am having the same problem with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, Firefox 2.0.0.12, and IcedTea Java7 (and the plugin.)

nVidia GeForce 8600M GT (using nvidia-glx-new drivers)
For every Java applet that I have ever come across, it shows up as a gray box.
In the status bar at the bottom of Firefox, it starts out by saying: "starting applet..." and then goes to "Start: applet not initialized"
I have tried several different repositories' versions of IcedTea, including Ubuntu's defaults, as well as http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/
Thanks

Just to add.

I think I can nail down the problem a bit more.

I had an older version of java installed on my Gutsy install, and tried to install a new version. Firefox prompted me to install about 4 different things. The only one that works in the official Sun Java plugin. But I installed the GCJ Web plugin, this caused the symptoms described above.

Hi,

I can confirm this problem with 64bit Hardy. I can see a grey box only, and in the status bar: "starting applet...." in case of http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and "Started: applet not initialized" in some other cases.

I use the 64 bit firefox3, with nvidia driver (from restricted modules) and compiz enabled.

Please let me know if you need further info.

I get the exact same error output at Lorant on the same platform (Hardy 64) with the same icedtea plugin. Some applets will load, but others will not. Example: weather.noaa.gov radar loops will load, while applets from processing.org will not.

Hi Matti,
just like Lorant I can confirm this bug using 64 bit Hardy and 64 bit Firefox 3 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1) in conjunction with

   $ update-java-alternatives -l
   java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
   $ java -version
   java version "1.6.0_0"
   OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
   OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)

and icedtea-gcjwebplugin (1.0-0ubuntu5).

There's a grey box only, and in the status bar: "starting applet...".
(NB: It does not make a difference whether i have the nvidia driver (from restricted modules) activated or not. Visual effects are disabled.)

Starting Firefox from console reveals "initializing JNLPRuntime..." as the last line. Then, nothing more happens.
If you need more information, please let me know.

For me the Java applet works now!
With today's update from openjdk-6-jre & co. from version 6b11-2ubuntu2 to version 6b11-2ubuntu2.1 I re-tried my Java applet (see my above post #12 for details on my architecture) with http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
It takes 10 seconds or so until I can see the dancing Duke logo together with the version information BUT IT'S THERE! :)
Unfortunately, I did not test the applet right before updating, thus i'm not sure if this is the reason for the bug fix.

I'm still experiencing a grey box at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml .

Setup is Intrepid 8.10 x86-64 install, firefox 3.0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1, openjdk-6-jre 6b12-0ubuntu6.1, icedtea6-plugin 6b12-0ubuntu6.1.

It seems there is good chance that this is due to issues when running in a 64bit environment, which is a pity.
