Installing Java plugin for Chrome in Ubuntu
Current Chrome version do not requires more this option.
To install java plugin for browsers, if you're using packaged java, install one of the following packages according you java version:
sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin
or
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
To check you version, open a terminal (command line) and type:
java -version
Java 1.6 will require icedtea6-plugin
, Java 1.7 icedtea-7-plugin
.
On Ubuntu 13.04 x64 ,
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
is working great. Thank you.
The best solution I found, (none of these suggestions worked for me), is as followings:First install Icedtead pluging by:
- sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
Then in your chrome browser go to:
- chrome-> Settings-> Show Advanced Settings-> Privacy then click onContent Settings -> Plug-ins then click on Disable Individual Plug-in
- Disable both "IceTea-Web Plugin" and "Java(TM)"
- Restart the browser.
- chrome-> Settings-> Show Advanced Settings-> Privacy then click on Content Settings -> Plug-ins then click on Disable Individual Plug-in
- Enable only "IceTea-Web Plugin"
- Enjoy !
