I have icedtea6-plugin installed on my Ubuntu box. The weird thing is, when I am browsing the internet, certain websites are able to use Java and some websites don't. For instance, I am able to log in to my bank at http://www.nordea.dk/ ; they use a Java applet to authenticate the user.

But when I try to use http://keepvid.com/; it says Loading Java Applet. And then after a minute or two it says:

Error: Please click here to download Java, If you already have Java, please restart your browser and try again.

I've tried to restart my computer, closed and opened Chromium Browser. But it didn't work also.

Could someone please point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Try installing the Oracle Java some applications only work with it.

keepvid is looking for a plugin that supports application/x-java-jnlp-file. This may be, according to wikipedia, the Java Network Launching Protocol, that is, Java Web Start.

The JWS for IcedTea appears to be provided separately (this is not "java web plugin", it's a different thing Sun once made), in the icedtea-netx package

Try installing Java Software Developer Kit (JDK). Look Below http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Perhaps will work.
