I have icedtea6-plugin installed on my Ubuntu box. The weird thing is, when I am browsing the internet, certain websites are able to use Java and some websites don't. For instance, I am able to log in to my bank at http://www.nordea.dk/ ; they use a Java applet to authenticate the user.

But when I try to use http://keepvid.com/; it says Loading Java Applet. And then after a minute or two it says:

Error: Please click here to download Java, If you already have Java, please restart your browser and try again.

I've tried to restart my computer, closed and opened Chromium Browser. But it didn't work also.

Could someone please point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

Thanks.

  • Does this happen on any other browser? – RolandiXor Jun 20 '11 at 21:20
  • See this question maybe you have the same issue : http://askubuntu.com/questions/47240/how-can-i-enable-java-in-chromium – Binarylife Jun 20 '11 at 21:27
  • @Roland I have only chromium installed. And this problem definitely exists in chromium. – Jay Jun 20 '11 at 23:53
  • @binarylife I tried the suggestions on that page. The "Do I have java" link says I do have java albeit an older version. I am using openjdk-6-jre 6b22-1.10. And my "about:plugins" page says that the icedtea-web plugin is enabled. – Jay Jun 20 '11 at 23:57
  • @Jay I don't think you understood the purpose of my comment :).
    I want you to tell us if it works on another broswer so we can help to determine what is causing the problem (for example if it is chromium's problem alone).     – RolandiXor Jun 21 '11 at 00:54
  • @Roland Maybe I did not make myself clear the first time. But what I was saying was that, I do not have any other browser other than chromium installed on my box. So I do not know if this problem exists on any other browser like firefox for example. But I can install firefox and test it out if it helps... – Jay Jun 21 '11 at 07:52
  • @Jay: Then True, you have Java. So now try installing another browser and see as Roland Taylor suggested. – Binarylife Jun 21 '11 at 12:51
  • @binarylife I installed firefox. Keepvid works perfectly in firefox with the same Java installation. Nordea.dk also works perfectly in firefox. So it seems like the problem is only with chromium. – Jay Jun 21 '11 at 15:27
  • Try waiting a few minutes... After some googling I found out that it just doesn't show the loading progress. – nickguletskii Jun 21 '11 at 17:03
  • @nickguletskii After a few minutes it only shows this message -> "Error: Please click here to download Java, If you already have Java, please restart your browser and try again." And after that, nothing happens. – Jay Jun 21 '11 at 18:39
  • @nickguletskii Okay, I'll try it right now. Any idea, how long I might have to wait? – Jay Jun 21 '11 at 19:55
  • @Jay Tried it myself, seems that this applet has something weird about it. – nickguletskii Jun 21 '11 at 20:35
  • @nickguletskii Its not just the applet on link. link does not work either. – Jay Jun 21 '11 at 22:09
  • @Jay That is because they use the same applet ;) – nickguletskii Jun 22 '11 at 06:46
  • So is there anyways, I can solve this issue? – Jay Jun 22 '11 at 10:00
  • Am i allowed to make bumps? – Jay Jun 23 '11 at 06:57
  • At least could someone please tell me, if its a problem with chromium or a problem with the Java applet on those aforementioned websites? – Jay Jul 03 '11 at 13:22
  • @Jay: Are you still having this issue? – Nitin Venkatesh Jan 31 '12 at 19:33

Try installing the Oracle Java some applications only work with it.

keepvid is looking for a plugin that supports application/x-java-jnlp-file. This may be, according to wikipedia, the Java Network Launching Protocol, that is, Java Web Start.

The JWS for IcedTea appears to be provided separately (this is not "java web plugin", it's a different thing Sun once made), in the icedtea-netx package

Try installing Java Software Developer Kit (JDK). Look Below http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Perhaps will work.

  • JDK (Java Developer Kit) is not the same as JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Installing JDK won't make a difference. – Lekensteyn Feb 09 '12 at 20:59
