Bug Description
Binary package hint: icedtea-
OpenJDK Java Web Start cannot open java-programs in web. A fine example is GeoGebra WebStart:
http://
If I click "Geogebra WebStart", it only opens OpenJDK Java Web Start "Certificates" window. I think Firefox uses command "/usr/lib/
GeoGebra is only on example. I have same problem with other java-application too.
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
* firefox 3.0~b5+
* icedtea-
* openjdk-6-jre 6b09-0ubuntu1
I believe I have the same problem... I previously used to just type "javaws" into the terminal to open up Java Web Start, so I could then select from the applications I have installed; now it opens a certificates window. When I try to type "javaws http:// files.gokgs. com/javaBin/ cgoban/ jnlp" (as per instructions at gokgs.com, which have worked on every other system I have tried it on), I get an error message:
netx: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file. (java.lang. NullPointerExce ption null)
I don't know what netx is, or why it's trying to take over this operation...
Help is greatly appreciated.
