Java problems with Linux Mint Debian
Hi. For the past year or so, I have long been living with "buggy" linux and it doesn't matter which distro I choose. The problems crop up when I try to run a java application. Specifically, pogo.com card games.
The way the game works is that you choose a room to play in. Then a small room window comes up after about 30 sec. Then you choose a table, and wait another 30 sec or so. After that, you're at the table and ready to start the game with your opponents. After playing it this way 2-3 times, that last window before playing the game will freeze up. After that, I had to close out both game windows and reboot. I soon discovered, however, that I can get the game to re-load quicker than doing a reboot. If I clear the firefox cache and then reload the room window, I can enter the game without it hanging up. But this fix only works temporarily; and I've tried increasing my cache size but this didn't help the situation. Is this a problem with sun-java-6, the linux os, firefox, or pogo? Is there any way to revert to an earlier version of java or linux or firefox that might fix the problem? I never had the problem until about a year ago. The problem only occurs in linux, my windows OS (windows 7) has no such issues. Thanks for the help. |
Have you tried using openjdk instead of sun java? All my java problems went away after making the switch.

OpenJDK
Hello. How do I enable openJDK? The only firefox plugin I have installed is sun java. I guess I need the openJDK plugin somehow.

It's already installed but there's no plugin anywhere to be found.
Here's what synaptic said I have installed now: openjdk-6-jre-lib openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless icedtea-6-jre-cacao |
Code:
$ apt-cache search openjdk browser plugin Evo2. |
Still no luck here. When I try to install I get the following output:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package icedtea-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'icedtea-plugin' has no installation candidate Also, I was able to add to my sources.list file so that icedtea plugin is now visible in synaptic. But when I try to install from synaptic I get this: The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Please make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences. icedtea6-plugin: Depends: openjdk-6-jre (=6b18-1.8.7-2~squeeze1) but 6b18-1.8.7-5 is to be installed thanks for the help. |
Ok, sorry I'm working on a real Debian system... seems packages are missing in LMDE. You should probably file a bug report to LMDE.

icedtea6-plugin isn't in Wheezy/Testing repo it is in sid
http://packages.debian.org/search?ke...searchon=names |
Can i somehow add the sid repo to my /etc/apt/sources.list ?

Although the problem sounds more like a cookie issue than a java problem, openjdk and sun/oracle-java work exactly the same. |
Found the Culprit
Hello. Thanks for the help.
It seems the various Firefox add-ons were consuming my memory. So I disabled 3 of them and now things are running super. So I guess the lesson is to be careful with installing more than a couple of addons. I had about 5: LastPass, AdBlock Plus, StumbleUpon, TabUtilities Lite, and XMarks. I have now disabled all of them except for LastPass and XMarks, and no more pogo crashes! |
