Package: icedtea6-plugin Version: 6b17~pre3-1 Severity: normal The java-applets-not-working problem is also there with sun-java6-plugin, but it is easily solved by changing this line in /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf:
net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 to this: net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0 Doing this somewhat seems to help in the icedtea6-plugin case, in that the exceptions are fewer: (the following is for http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) $ iceweasel java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 8 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1946) at testvm2.Main.init(Main.java:79) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:436) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:636) I hope this is of some help.
