I finally decided on a new, especially thorough, purging of anything having to do with java, web-browsers, macromedia, and flash. Lots of times doing updatedb and locate; removing many dot-files and dot-directories in /etc and in my home directory. Then installed (after saving bookmarks passwords) - iceweasel - vuze (which pulls in lots of openjdk-6 stuff) - icedtea6-plugin (browser plugin for openjdk-6) - flashplugin-nonfree All sun-java stuff had been purged (AFAIK). And now it works. I mean both applets and the strictlysudoku.com login page work.The unsatisfactory thing is, I still don't know which of the countless files I removed was the real culprit. But it works now. Thanks all who thought about this. Regards, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I tried moving the .mozilla directory out of the way; didn't help. Thought it might have something to do with the flash plugin (because locate strictlysudoku turned up some entries in ~/.macromedia), reinstalled and removed flash in various ways-- nothing helps. The login popup window is blank, not only in iceweasel on my computer, but also in Opera! So it is not an iceweasel puzzle only. The login popup window is loaded somehow; I can read the source code. I can save it as a file, and open the file with iceweasel or opera: it is blank. Opera has two complaints (may or may not be related): ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. This might be significant, although I have not a clue what it means. There are several files called libjvm.so and libawt.so on my system (installed by openoffice, sun jre, and openjdk6; client and server versions). But this sudoku site does not use java, only javascript. As long as you just want to play sudoku (with logging in) you don't even need javascript. In lynx, the saved login form is displayed (but of course in lynx, I cannot play sudoku, because this a graphical thing). N.B. ~/.xsession-errors keeps getting filled up with (to me) incomprehensible warnings and errors, like: (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance of invalid non-instantiatable type `(null)' (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handler_disconnect: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd-glib2.0_2.20.3-1-i386-o59wJY/glib2.0-2.20.3/gobject/gsignal.c:2387: instance `0x90ecda8' has no handler with id `4276' (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd-glib2.0_2.20.3-1-i386-o59wJY/glib2.0-2.20.3/gobject/gsignal.c:2387: instance `0x97d1908' has no handler with id `4536' (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GtkObject' (firefox-bin:5229): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance of invalid non-instantiatable type `(null)' So, if someone has any bright idea.. in the meantime I keep digging.

What window manager are you running? This symptom appears in some window managers running java apps (most notably in my experience, xmonad). The app will spawn and get a window, but the window will just be a gray box. The solution in xmonad (at one time, I'm a little out of step with it at the moment) was to export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit in .xinitrc.

iceweasel puzzle
I use iceweasel to visit the site http://www.strictlysudoku.com. In the left-hand column there are ĺogin' and 'register' links. If I click one of those, a window pops up, but it is completely blank. On my wife's computer, which uses the same gateway/firewall, and which is also more or less Debian (well, ubuntu), clicking the links produces proper 'login' and 'register' forms. Any idea of what could be the matter on my computer? Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Any idea of what could be the matter on my computer? These things are often the result of the website being confused by your user agent string. I guess Ubuntu uses standard firefox, while Debian uses iceweasel. Firefox is common enough that most websites support it (or, at least don't intentionally block it), while some will break if you use iceweasel. You might try the useragent switcher plugin, or manually change all instances of 'iceweasel' in about:config to 'firefox'. HTH, Tyler -- There is something fascinating about science.

That is, the login/register window came up, and had the relevant text in it.
