    [SOLVED] Firefox and Java

    Since upgrading to 11.04 with a clean install of Kubuntu, I cannot use my WebEx account because Java is not installed as a plug in. aboutlugins in Firefox reveals one enabled plug in: Skype. Get and Remove Software - System Settings reports the following as installed:
    OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime
    OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start
    ca-certificates-java
    java-common
    java-wrappers
    javahelp2
    ....
    I have Google'd this issue and have tried three different suggestions to get this resolved. All three have involved adding a repository and then doing an apt-get update. All three continue to return the same complaint:
    W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-co...source/Sources 404 Not Found

    Any ideas, anyone?

    Oh, and this error as well:
    W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-co...amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

      If you want to use the OpenJDK then install the icedtea-plugin to get the FF Java Plugin

      If you want to use the Sun JDK the steps are a little different.

      This page should give you everything you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

          I debated whether this should go in post-installation or software support; thus, my second post.
