I can run the Java test page here in firefox, and it works fine. When I open it in chromium, it just stays white, and no "java" instance is started. Minecraft works fine. The screen shot was taken whil openjdk-6 was installed.
I have tried the following:
*Clearing Chromium preferences data (rm -rfv ~/.config/chromium)
*Purging and re installing all java-related packages, including the icedtea plugin.
*Using Openjdk-7 and 6
I am currently running Chromium 18 (the latest update)
I needed to build the icedtea package from 12.10. First I downloaded
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/icedtea-web_1.2-2ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz and
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/icedtea-web_1.2.orig.tar.gz
Then extracted the orig.tgz file into a build folder, and the debian.tgz into the folder the previous extraction created (icedtea-web-1.2).
Then I cd'ed into the icedtea-web-1.2 folder and ran
dpkg-buildpackage-uc -b
As necessary, I installed dependencies, and then I had several packages in the build folder. I ran
sudo dpkg -i *7-plugin* *netx*
(With wildcards around
to install the necessary files.
This is bug 1025553. I'll be uploading this to proposed Monday and it should go out to everyone about a week after that. You can subscribe to the bug to find out when it's available for testing and how to enable the test repositories.
