I have been buying music from a website called HDtracks.com recently using my
Debian Sid desktop. They're wensite requires your run a download manager that
is a Java application for all music downloads. I have downloaded 2 albums
this past October without incident but ran into problems trying to buy music
yesterday.
In trying to track down what was going on, I realized I had the Sun Java jre
installed from the non-free repository and openjdk-6-jre
openjdk-6-jre-headless. I tried using update-aletrnatives --config java to
pick between the two to no avail. I removed the openjdk packages and
currently only have Sun's Java installed.

ii sun-java6-plugin
As a simple test, when I try to visit this site, http://www.time.gov/, which
uses Java to show real time, the browser freezes for about 15 seconds, the
page loads but no Java clock is shown.
So I tried installing Java on my Debian Sid laptop via apt-get install
sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and all works well. The Java clock works and I
was able to download my music from HDtracks.
On the laptop:
thinkpad:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22# dpkg -l | grep java
ii java-common 0.40
Base of all Java packages
ii sun-java6-bin 6.22-1

ii sun-java6-plugin 6.22-1
The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6
thinkpad:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22#
Any suggestions?
Hi,
does your web browser maybe block java?
What is output of:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
if output is 1 then:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
On my Sid and Squeeze box http://www.time.gov/ clock works so I hope we
can find a solution.
