java applet into overload

Pedroski · 05-24-2010, 09:01 PM

Hi

I am connected with chinese-tools.com. They have a neat java applet which has a window in which you can draw a Chinese character, and it will recognize it. However, this is causing my comp to go into overdrive. The twin processors are at nearly 100%. I have two Intel T1600s

If I kill the browser, google chrome or Mozilla, things calm down. It is definitely the applet causing this.

Any tips on how to calm things down?

I had this same problem yesterday. So I decided to uninstall the current java plugins (was using icedtea).

Code:

sudo apt-get purge icedtea6-plugin icedtea-6-jre-cacao

and then installed the official sun plugin

Code:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

This did it for me, YMMV.
