pingtest.net packet loss test fails

[Seth Hikari]

Binary package hint: java-common

When in Chrome or Chromium and does not seem to work in firefox, pingtest.net says I do not have java enabled for the packet loss test. Have no other java problems on any other pages.

Are you on a network that blocks external pings?

[Seth Hikari (sethhikari)]

Yes, really it is the packet loss test that just sits there.

This is me trying and one of the many dialogs I get

This seems to be a distro specific issue. Please report it to Ubuntu's Launchpad, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu

Hi

I cannot reproduce this problem with my Firefox. Mind you, I use Debian, so it might be a fix that has not reached Ubuntu. Which java provides your java plugin?

I have attached picture below. Excuse my laziness.

Hi

Do you have icedtea6-plugin installed? I cannot see it on that list.

~Niels

[Seth Hikari (sethhikari)]

Yes I do.

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

Trying to go to pingtest.net causes Firefox 4b10 to shutdown completely. Win7 x64

[Kevin Brosnan (kbrosnan)]

Jim please file a new bug. If possible with a Mozilla Crash reporter ID if present. The Windows and Linux plugins are different enough to warrant a new bug. Please cc me on the new bug <email address hidden> thanks.

Kevin
  Firefox closes completely and has to be manually restarted. When that is done all I see is "Well this is embarrasing..." screen showing a list of previously opened tabs and allowing to to reopen them or start a new session. Crash reporter never runs.

[Keyboarder (keyboarder)]

Fixed the problem here. The pingtest.net caused FFox, IE and Opera all to crash. I uninstalled all Flash installs and Java and resinstalled them. Browsers no longer crashes.

[Tyler Downer (tyler-downer)]

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.13 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.

This is still an issue...

Using Firefox 7.0.1 on Ubuntu 11.04 (32 bit) with JRE 6.0 installed...Says "applet started" at the bottom while @ pingtest.net but never begins or completes...

[Damir Butmir (d4m1r2)]

Still an issue using Firefox 10 and Java Version 6 Update 23 under Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit).

While loading pingtest.net, I get the loading box at the bottom that says "Applet Started." but the packet loss at the begining of the test never finishes...It doesn't even fail or skip that part like it sometimes does under my Windows partition, the test just keeps trying to pass that setup before moving on to the other parts.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Damir Butmir (d4m1r2)]

A problem I had as well, see my topic;

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923583

Basically the fix is to remove icetea java JDK completely and use the official vanilla java JDK...
