Icedtea plugin breaks (goes grey) when loading applet

[Tim Kornhammar]

Release: Ubuntu 7.10
Package: icedtea-java7-plugin
Version: 7~b21-1.4+20071007-0ubuntu6

The problem means that I can't use my e-pass on some webpages that is important for me to use, like the Swedish tax-agency. It's hard to define the title not being the same as previous but I think it is a different bug so here it goes:

I tried to backport from Hardy to see if it was fixed there but it required me to uninstall media apps which was really strange since none of them should require the other...

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Can you reproduce this in Hardy, using icedtea-gcjwebplugin ?

[Tim Kornhammar (tim-kornhammar)]

Not this error but a new one.

"
Applet was not granted necessary rights and is unable to run.
Please contact your support line if this problem persists.
"

I attached the log from the output when running Firefox 3.0 in Hardy.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

This is probably a duplicate/related to bug #207064 (and bug #203484).

[Micke Nordin (mikael.nordin)]

I got the exact same problem when upgrading to hardy. After trying to fix things through editing permissions in different versions of java.policy (I wasted a couple of hours doing that :-), I found the simple solution to be the best. I uninstalled jre with synaptic and reinstalled through firefox plugin-manager. It took less then a minute and fixed everything right up :-)

Mickes:solution didn't help on my 8.10 system

I had the same problem trying to log into Swedish Tax Auth.
And my bank etc.
The problem arose after upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit).
I use Firefox 3 beta 5.
Solution for me was:
I searched Synaptic for "JRE" and realized I had many versions.
I uninstalled all but sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin.

I can confirm this bug on 8.04 i386 with FF Beta 5

The site I am using is Swedbank internet bank and its BankID (X.509(?) certificate) issuing applet. https://internetbank.swedbank.se

With icedtea-java7 no run confirmation pop-up window appears (like it does with "sun-java6"), instead the text "Applet was not granted necessary rights and is unable to run. Please contact your support line if this problem persists" appears in the applet window.

It works when I run "sun-java6".

Re. Matti Lindell's suspicion that "this is probably a duplicate/related to bug #207064 (and bug #203484)" - this is *not* the case since I can reproduce using Ubuntu 8.04.1, Firefox 3.0 (3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1) and icedtea-gcjwebplugin (1.0-0ubuntu7 from universe/web) on 2.6.24-19-generic i686 kernel (ie 32 bit).

Or rather; #203484 has the correct title but might have the wrong conclusions - I think this problem is indeed caused by "Does not ask to grant additional permissions".

See eg. https://test.bankid.com/TestBankidCom/Templates/TestPage.aspx?id=29 (on https://test.bankid.com/TestBankidCom/Templates/TestPage.aspx?id=28 a screenshot of the Sun Java plugin asking for permission grant is shown).

[Martin Kalén (martin-kalen)]

For those wanting to use the Swedish "Bank ID" applet: removing the "icedtea-gcjwebplugin" and using Sun Java 6, "sun-java6-plugin" (tested with 6-06-0ubuntu1 from multiverse/web) instead, is a work-around for this particular problem in Icedtea.

[Martin Kalén (martin-kalen)]

The problem is no longer present when using Intrepid beta, Firefox 3 (3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) and icedtea-gcjwebplugin (1.0-1ubuntu3) on a 2.6.27-6-generic i686 kernel and the latest release of the applet (cbt_bidt_3_5_5_sign.jar).

It is difficult to tell wether the problem is fixed by changes in icedtea-gcjwebplugin and/or openjdk or changes in the applet itself.

[Duane Hinnen (duanedesign)]

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Judging by the last comments this bug may be fixed. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Martin Kalén (martin-kalen)]

Cannot reproduce with Jaunty, Firefox 3 (3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1), icedtea6-plugin (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7). I think it's safe to close this bug.

I have firefox 3.0.16 & the CPU goes totally green 100% when using a pogo game site.If I drop the screen & hit desktop refresh it settles back down but this is an ongoing issue!
We just had the master drive replace so it should be going like a madman but this issue is the only problem as the rest of the net works fine.
Have I got the wrong Java?
All Java cashe is cleaned out!
Also this is the 1st year we bought Kapurski 2010 & is there a setting thats preventing java from working proper?
Also the F'n thing seems to constantly scan??!!? we bought Norton year to year but bought Kapurski this year instead>(mistake??)
As I type this the CPU has gone 100% & the kapurski arrow in the tray is flashing again!

[Martin Kalén (martin-kalen)]

@ph: you seem to be talking about problems with Firefox on a Windows machine. This bug report concerns the icedtea-java7-plugin on the Ubuntu Linux operating system. (Launchpad is used for open source collaboration and therefore there are no Microsoft or Windows-related issues at all.)

You might want to try Firefox forums and/or Kaspersky anti-virus support to get help.
