Thread: Hushmail java app - no joy in ubuntu 12.04


i have used hushmail several years. last year half-migrated ubuntu, prefer solid performance less resource , memory use on older machines. there still applications run on xp partition, , don't feel running windows inside linux. no need.

here short of it. hushmail java encryption engine not load, nor applet initialize in ubuntu 12.04.1 lts. neither java 6 nor 7 allow applet load nor run.

when run lucid puppy 5.2.8 (even faster ubuntu, slimmed way down), firefox 7 jre 1.6 (java 6) load , run hushmail's java encryption applet locally in flash. know ubuntu 12.04 problem, not linux problem. nevertheless, in lucid puppy, firefox pops window stating jre 1.6 has been known cause stability issues in firefox, , firefox tries disable it. have never had issues firefox , jre 1.6 in lucid puppy. hushmail java problems occur in ubuntu.

in ubuntu, have uninstalled jdk 7 , reinstalled 6, no joy. have reinstalled 7, no joy. in fact either java version, every time itry run hushmail's java encryption applet, crashes firefox.

beginning see lot of these hushmail java vs. ubuntu posts on internet. there must solution. there no problem whatsoever in windows xp, nor in lucid puppy when using hushmail's java applet, in ubuntu.

relatively new linux, , weak in code , terminal use. cut teeth on fortran, , later on dos. gui interface of ubuntu , migrate when sorted , there no differences in user friendliness between xp , ubuntu, since ubuntu more robust , old pcs run fast on linux based os's.

there quick , easy solution hushmail compatibility thing ubuntu?

in advance sane inputs out there!
