Java applets do not run

Binary package hint: firefox

using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

ubufox 0.9~rc2-0ubuntu2.1

Tried to run Yahoo!Games backgammon (also Power E*Trade Pro, which requires Java Web Start)

I am asked to install a JVM.

Can you visit the following site and tell me if you get your java version in a pink box?

http://www.javatester.org/version.html

[Chili Sastry (chilisastry)]

 p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }

I get the following message at
javatester.org/version.html:  Browser has Java disabled.

and
a Firefox notification:  Additional plugins are required to
display all the media on this page.

The Plugin Finder
Service offers The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin.  I proceeded with the installation of the plugin.

After closing Firefox, and restarting Firefox, I get the following at javatester.org/version.html:  Java Version:
1.6.0_18 from Sun Microsystems Inc.

However, I still cannot play Yahoo!Games backgammon.  The response now is just a status line (at the bottom status bar) 'Applet is loaded", but nothing else happens.  Previously, there was a (reasonably useful) message in the window stating the JRE was not found.

I did not try Power E*Trade Pro yet (but I am not very hopeful).

In firefox go to EDIT>Preferences>Content. Make sure you have the "Enable Javascript" checked on.

[Will Bickerstaff (willbickerstaff)]

You also need the icedtea6-plugin package installed. which I don't see in your profile_default_pluginreg.dat

[Will Bickerstaff (willbickerstaff)]

Just noted you said you installed that, how did you install, pull it from the repositories using synaptic

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I don't think I used synaptic.  I just follow the browser prompts to look for and install the missing plug-ins.

Yahoo!Games Backgammon seems ot work fine, though quite frequently, the applet is loaded but does not run.  By repeatedly clicking on the 'click here', I try to reload the applet, and it runs after a few attempts.  Definitely not robust like it was in Hardy Heron (8.04).

Power E*Trade Pro does not work.

etpro_launch.jnlp is downloaded.  Then there is the following message:

/tmp/etpro_launch.jnlp could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

I do not know how to set up the association in Preferences, becasue I don't know which executable to use.  Again, this used to work perfectly in Hardy Heron, without my having to set up anything.
