Www.Prorealtime.Com is ultra slow with ubuntu

Asked by 1stormrider

Hi there

i use prorealtime.Com for financial charting .

It is all java based charts

when i launch the chart window, a java applet appears,

on any version of windows it runs normal, i can move my cursor around chart windows perfectly fine, and opening several windows is no problem at all, they line up neatly on the taskbar

on linpus linux it is slightly slower, but i hate linpus linux

on ubuntu, when you move the cursor through the charts, it is ultra slow to move around

the cursor on the screen lags the movement of the mouse by inches.

And launching more than 1 window causes it to disappear on the task bar, proving totally unuseable and causing unneccessary grief and headache

please can somebody address this extremely frustrating problem

i love using ubuntu it is the desktop " dream" software

but why cant it work with java at the same speed with windows???

Kind regards to all

dpkg -l | grep java; uname -a; lsb_release -a

Thanks

This problem may be releated with Openjdk. Please install Sun Java and test again. Please have a look at the following link;

Hope this helps...

Sorry I forgot to say something. After install Sun java, you must select it as default java interpreter. Open terminal (press Ctrl-Alt-t buttons) and type the following;

sudo update-alternatives --config java

After that you should see a list of installed java versions. Select Sun java from list. Restart your web browser and test it again.

HI Emre

i am not using ubuntu 10.10, because i have stability issues, i am using 10.04

 i typed in

 toshiba@toshiba-laptop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[sudo] password for toshiba:
There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

This is all it came up with,

 I do not know anything about linux, please keep it easy for me to understand, many thanks

If you enable the partner repo using software centre you can then run:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Can you help with this problem?
