Greeting..
I used to have some trouble using icedtea plugin on firefox/iceweasel or other plugins for java on some websites from banks.
So far the one that always works is from sun or oracle java plugins.
And following oracle procedure in their website can be very confusing..
There are some ppa that made the procedure very simple, 2-3 codes on terminals that is all.
However it might not be suitable for Debian Sid ( I guess I would not want to use ppa...)
Is there an easy to follow procedure to install oracle java plugins?
How do I install sun or oracle java plugins for iceweasel?

Re: How do I install sun or oracle java plugins for icewease
I would follow this: http://wiki.debian.org/JavaPackage
Though the "best" way would be
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre icedtea-7-plugin
(IcedTea if you need Java in your browser)
Better don't mix the procedures, so decide for one. If it doesn't work, remove it and try the other.
Reference (though in German) http://siduction.org/index.php?name=PNp ... pic&t=2633
Generally you can try suggestions from Aptosid/Siduction's forums, they're our uncles.

Re: How do I install sun or oracle java plugins for icewease
hmmmm . . . interesting.
Does icedtea cause many ppl problems? The reason I ask is as follows . . .
I've had issues with my laptop randomly locking up (hard boot required) for the past month or two. Uninstalled all the icedtea/java stuff about 2 days ago and has been solid as a rock.
What do I need the java stuff for anyway? . . . everything seems to be functioning ok . . . is it nasty little sneaky script stuff that runs in the background?
The laptop is a 32bit waldorf install taken to sid - with no icedtea/java it's solid. On same laptop a 64bit waldorf install (not sid) locks up rarely. 64bit Kielbasa also locked up on this.

Re: How do I install sun or oracle java plugins for icewease
gurtid,
I don't know about lockups, because I don't use Java - I only know that the recommended method is using the OpenJDK version of Java (but that's quite obvious, we live in Debian Province where everything non-free or prop. is evil) and the IcedTea browser plugin with it. If I ever need Java stuff, I fire up Virtualbox in which I have XP and all those things I don't want to dirt my Linux installation with :)

OpenJDK works perfectly, though I do not use it anymore but if you need Java, I indeed recommend it.
Re: How do I install sun or oracle java plugins for icewease
Well, to make it simple for me :) to install or uninstall, I still go back to using ppa, sigh..
using this link
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install- ... u-via.html
and follow these
it worked on 1.7_9
and I just dist-upgrade , it is now 1.7_10 and is working OK.
hopefully it continues to be OK for future also.
