Hi 007,

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Paste the above command in a terminal, it should sort you out.

Hi 007,

if Java is already install, I would say then that you should remove "icedtea" and see if that helps!!. Remove it via Synaptic!!.

Another option is to check that the mozilla java plugin is installed, if not:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

All I had to do is add icedtea6-plugin. Not just icedtea-plugin.
