Java trouble in Iceweasel

I just spent hours searching for a reason why my java runtime didn't work in Iceweasel on Debian Testing, and I thought maybe someone here experienced the same problem.

Solution:

In /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf you have to change this line:
net.ipv6.bindv6only=1

To this:
net.ipv6.bindv6only=0

And run: invoke-rc.d procps restart

Then it just works...

Maybe you have to run that command as root. If you try to run a system command as normal user Debian seems to report the command as "not found".

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

Steen, can I ask you how you found this tip?

I spent some time on Debian forums and must admit they are not so informative IMHO compared to ubuntu forums...
Another reason why I m happy #! is now based on Debian, I m sure it will help to make Debian more accessible to noob :-)

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

thank you steen!
i worked on this alittle yesterday, to use ny online banking, i needed to install sun-java6-jre (this will also pull down sun-java6-bin) and sun-java6-plugin
(check what plugins are installed in firefox/iceweasel by typing about:plugins in the address-bar)
when this still didnt work in iceweasel, i installed both chrome(from chrome.googles.com) and regular firefox, but no luck still.. only after applying your solution did i manage to get java working and could log in to my online-banking..(and tested java on java-com > "do i have java installed?-link" > "verify java versin-button")
..tried it in chrome too afterwards, the java-test works, but no luck logging in to my bank, but that seems to be because the bank dont support chrome(yet), because of its beta-status)
you should change the title to "[solved] java in browsers"  ..thanks again!

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

I found this tip on a danish linux-site: linuxin.dk where some debianguy told me this was a "common" problem in debian. Afterwards I put it on this site too, as I couldn't find anything related to this in english anywhere.

Glad you all could use the tip

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

thanks a ton for this. apt-get install sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-plugin plus the .conf edit did the trick for google chrome on statler.

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

This worked for me,,I tried it with the Sun Java Jre6 that was in synaptic and i still couldnt get it to work.
But once i deleted that and installed Icedtea it worked like a charm.

Re: Java trouble in Iceweasel

Thanks so much Matolik, that worked  for me.
Problem remains: only as root does java work in google chrome, not as standart user.
There must be some permission problem which I cannot figure out.
Any advice?
Thanks

Sorry guys, false alarm. For reasons unclear to me, after a reboot things work fine. all good, thanks again
