JRE problems in Ubuntu - QueenDeagle - 2006-09-20
I formatted my (previously windows) HDD today and installed ubuntu. I know nothing about linux OSs really and the files system is beyond me atm, but im getting there.
Im a member of an invision power board (much like this ;) ) that has live chat enabled, which I would like to get working. I went into the synaptic package manager, did the stuff it told me to on the ubuntu site, and downloaded and installed the JRE plugin.
Now when I click on live chat, the loading bar comes up, but when it gets to the top, FF closes :(. And not just that window, if I have another FF window opens, it shuts that too :(
Can anyone help????
Also, is a different distibution better for total linux noobs?

hi and welcome to the forums
did you try the following [/url][url=http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23592.html]http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23592.html ?
if so were there any errors reported ?
are you having a java problem in firefox or an IPB forums issue ?
as regards a better distro for noobs, i'd recommend Fedora Core Release 5
cheers
