web start work in my Hardy Hedron AMD64, but

couldn’t make it work so far. When I run it with

openJDK nothing happens at all, and when I run

it with sun java 32-bit, the “java starting” even splash

appears, but I get the following error

(trying to launche topcoders arena):

Follow the below instructions to open with webstart

1. First remove your open jre by the following command
sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6jre (this is depends on your version)
2. After removing openjdk type javaws on your terminal, it should say command not found. If it is true follow the below steps otherwise open jdk or jre doesn’t removed properly. Go to Step 1
3. Now download jdk1.6.0_13 from sun.java website and extract it on your Desktop
4. Run this command
sudo cp ~/Desktop/jdk1.6.0_13 -R /usr/java
5. Create a simlink to /usr/bin. Run the below command
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_13/bin/javaws /usr/bin
6. Now type javaws in terminal. You should get like this, I am providing you some content below…

Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_13
Usage: javaws [run-options] <jnlp-file>
javaws [control-options]

where run-options include:
-verbose display additional output
-offline run the application in offline mode
………….

Launching the application
—————————
1. open your terminal and type
javaws <application link location>

eg: javaws http://blabla.com/blabla.jnlp
or
javaws ~/Desktop/blabla.jnlp

Seems to be a lengthy procedure. But will help you sure

Comment me if it doesn’t works

Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Chrome up to date. (If you don’t want Google’s repository, do “sudo touch /etc/defaults/google-chrome” before installing the package.)

Download and install the package appropriate for your system (just clicking on it should do the right thing):

• Dev channel (for 32 bit systems): google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb
• Dev channel (for 64 bit systems): google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb
