The previous thread seems to have morphed into a bitchfest about X so I'm gonna start a new on here with an actual question about firefox and java.
Some history: I have ubuntu, started with an install of 7 then dist upgrade to 8, starting with the pre-release and continuing on with daily updates. I have firefox 3.0, again whatever is the latest from the updates. I also have tried to install the java plugin, but not sure if I have it right, here's why... I am a Nascar fan, I subscribe to the trackpass program that uses a Java applet to give live stats and such during a race. This used to work on linux and continues to work fine if I reboot to windows, however it no longer works with my linux setup. I have no idea how to troubleshoot. It seems that the applet loads, runs fine, but sits and waits for race data with a message to stand by for the race to start. I have tried re-installing java plugins and now seem to have some java version clutter, my fault due to bad housekeeping. My question really boils down to, how do I set up any sort of debugging to see what's happening and where to try to fix things? Java is somewhat of a mystical art to me that I don't understand so have no idea where to look. Compound this with the fact that I can only work on this during a race, when I'd rather be watching it, and you get an idea of why I'm stumped. FWIW I have checked syslogs and such, but of course there's nothing there. Any ideas? Tyrion -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
