[Solved] Chromium + Icedtea not working

ratdude747 · 2013-07-11 20:11:30

Recently installed Icedtea to run some java apps for an online college class. However, it isn't workign at all.

This is under Chromium.

IIRC I have all the stuff I need installed:

# pacman -Qs Icedtea
local/icedtea-web-java7 1.4-1
    provides a Free Software web browser plugin running applets written in
    the Java programming language and an implementation of Java Web Start,
    originally based on the NetX project
local/jdk7-openjdk 7.u40_2.4.1-1
    Free Java environment based on OpenJDK 7.0 with IcedTea7 replacing
    binary plugs - SDK
local/jre7-openjdk 7.u40_2.4.1-1
    Free Java environment based on OpenJDK 7.0 with IcedTea7 replacing
    binary plugs - Full Java runtime environment - needed for executing Java
    GUI and Webstart programs

    Free Java environment based on OpenJDK 7.0 with IcedTea7 replacing
    binary plugs - Minimal Java runtime - needed for executing non GUI Java
    programs

Chromium does this bit when I go to the page of the applet:

Error: Unable to fetch applet instance id from Java side.
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.appContextGet(SwingUtilities.java:1857)

	at sun.applet.PluginAppletSecurityContext.<init>(PluginAppletSecurityContext.java:270)
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.main(PluginMain.java:109)
Something very bad happened. I don't know what to do, so I am going to exit :

A few days ago it was running well under manajaro linux... but under Arch, no luck. I'm at wits end. I looked everywhere and I can't come up with anything.

Suggestions?

I am having the same problem, except I am using google-chrome. I also tried firefox. I can't find any site where a java applet will load, including http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php and http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre.

confirm.
Any java applet not work.

plitter · 2013-07-12 12:26:13

Same here. With firefox as well.

mokkurkalve · 2013-07-12 13:09:11

Same here on i686. No java working in any browser after latest update to jdk7-openjdk 7.u40_2.4.1-1 and jre7-openjdk 7.u40_2.4.1-1.

I have the same stuff installed as ratdude747 in the first post.

skottish · 2013-07-12 13:43:01

Some Arch user filed a bug report upstream, so there's nothing left to do but wait.

TheSaint · 2013-07-12 19:30:18

There's one only thing left to do, downgrade to jdk7-openjdk 7.?25. When a new release will come then try the upgrade

Bastian · 2013-07-12 20:43:50

Experiencing the same thing here. Tried downgrading down to 2.3.9-4 and did the same with iced-tea-web but with no luck. I think I'll just await an upstream fix..

mokkurkalve · 2013-07-13 07:02:42

Downgrading jdk7-openjdk, jre7-openjdk and jre7-openjdk-headless to version 7.u40_2.4.0-1 fixes the issue for me. Atleast with Firefox. Chromium seems OK too. Java still crashes in Opera.

TheSaint · 2013-07-13 07:16:29

I meant /jdk7-openjdk-7.u21_2.3.9-4, I don't know is the same as referred here above.

I referred to the previous Arch Linux package versions of the named packages, 7.u40_2.4.0-1, released on 2013-06-10, as found on Arch Linux Rollback Machine.
You are referring to version 7.u21_2.3.9-4, the previous version before the previous version.... released 2013-05-20. As downgrading from 7.u40_2.4.1-1 to 7.u40_2.4.0-1 fixed the issue for me I did not test any yet older versions....

So, using latest icedtea-web-java7 1.4-1, java works in Firefox (and more) with previous Arch packages, version 7.u40_2.4.0-1,. on my i686 system atleast....

TheSaint · 2013-07-15 02:36:39

Your information is better than mine and taken for good, of course
Mine was just someone else report, not my direct test.

I can only vouch for the results on my i686 system with the couple of browsers and couple of java apps I did try, your mileage may vary......
However one thing was clear, with the latest packages of openjdk, version 7.u40_2.4.1-1, everything was dead, none of the browsers could even detect java on the system....
Let's hope upstream can fix this soon. Until then I've frozen version 7.u40_2.4.0-1 of the openjdk packages by putting them on hold in pacman.conf. Works for my needs. However, others might need to downgrade to even older versions for their needs, what do I know.....?

luked80 · 2013-07-16 03:01:35

This bug broke citrix in google-chrome for me.
I downgraded openjdk and it's working again.

Here's what I did to downgrade:

wget http://arm.konnichi.com/2013/06/07/extra/os/x86_64/jre7-openjdk-7.u21_2.3.9-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U jre7-openjdk-7.u21_2.3.9-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://arm.konnichi.com/2013/06/07/extra/os/x86_64/jre7-openjdk-headless-7.u21_2.3.9-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U jre7-openjdk-headless-7.u21_2.3.9-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I pushed a fixed icedtea. Next time you guys should search for patches and proper fixes instead of trying to workaround the problems by downgrading. That is not the Arch way.

ratdude747 · 2013-07-16 17:01:24

Update came through, all runs well.

Thanks! With the fixed icedtea latest openjdk packages works just fine in browsers.

Hi, ppl...

I'm still experience this issue in firefox with latest java and new icedtea from package 1.4-2. Console output is below:

Thank you in advice for any idea how to solve it...
