Certain java required websites are not viewable

Asked by sajidwasif

After upgrading, I can't view some java required websites. Like I can't view videos from hulu.com or cbs.com. youtube works fine. This problem was solved in 8.04 when I installed some plugins. 8.10 is now so smooth. How do i solve id? Is there some kind of "reset" option for the java programs?

When you go to about:plugins is there a java plugin enabled? if not, download it from www.java.com

Please try to install Java

- Please first enable the multiverse repository:

Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

- Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin
plase confirm pressing "tab" key and pressing enter the java licence agreement

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
