I removed pkgs sun-java5-bin, sun-java5-demo, sun-java5-fonts, sun-java5-jdk, sun-java5-jre, sun-java5-plugin. I removed /etc/java and /etc/java-1.5.0-sun/
Downloaded Sun's jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin, extracted to /opt cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins sudo ln -s /opt/jdk1.5.0_09/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so And java applets works fine. I'm not sure why the sun-java5- pkgs didn't work. -- java applet - firefox 1.5.0.1 crash, 100% cpu usage https://launchpad.net/bugs/31631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
