I tried Matthew's method, and met with moderate success. I was able to load the test applet on java.com, but unable to load the applet which Facebook uses for the upload of pictures.
I also tried to use the icedtea- java7-bin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb, icedtea- java7-jre_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_all.deb, icedtea- java7-plugin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb, and others from the URL given above, but met with equal success/failure (depending on your choice of optimism/pessimism, I guess). I know it's not icedtea, but I really want to have a working java plugin, so I tried downloading the jdk1.7.0 JDK from https://jdk7.dev.java.net/. I heard that there was a plugin in it, but I looked in jre/lib/amd64 and didn't see anything that looked like it would be a plugin. Using the b22 packages, Brian's test works. -- icedtea-java7-plugin always crashes firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
