Public bug reported: This has been a problem since gutsy. I've never been able to use firefox x64 with iced tea to connect to an http tightvnc server. what should happen is you browse to the website : http://192.168.XX.XX:5800/ and the applet is loaded which is a vnc server.
All I get is a big grey box. Which on further investigation showed me it the result of a crash, which I've attached. I used to work around it by installed firefox32 with sun java 32, but i'm filing this now as I've upgraded to Hardy and would like it addressed. 1. cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)" ** Affects: icedtea-java7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- crash on firefox pplugin connect to tightvnc server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197976 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
