I'm attempting to connect to an iDRAC 8 virtual console from Ubuntu 22.04. Icedtea is installed:

icedtea-netx:
  Installed: 1.8.4-1build1
  Candidate: 1.8.4-1build1

When clicking launch on the console link in iDRAC, a .jnlp file is downloaded. Iced tea attempts to open, however it hangs every time:

enter image description here

I enabled logging in the Iced Tea web console, here is that output:

I've never had to set .jnlp files to be executable in the past. However, this post is more focused on icedtea.

As of now I am not able to remotely administer my iDRAC due to this issue.

What could be going on here to cause icedtea to hang?

I have a JNLP file that when it starts the install errors for not having: RROR: package libXtst.i686 is not installed ERROR: package libgcc.i686 is not installed ERROR: package libXrender.i686 is not installed

The base packages are installed ex. libxtst6 but I can't find a .686 version of the library. I do have multarch installed but that doesn't seem to help. How do I work around the above errors?

I am new to Ubuntu 20.04 (or say any version).

I recently upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04.

While in Ubuntu 18.04 I was able to login to my company from file *.jnlp. Required Java version 1.8.

However, after upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04, I am not able to login to my company now.

I am not sure what steps to be taken to run the JNLP file and login.

I've got ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. I'm using firefox 29 and icedtea as java.

"About:plugin" in firefox: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.5 (1.5-1ubuntu1))

Now I've setup firefox to ask to activate before launching java from trusted sites.

Whenever I launch any service that uses java I get the "java web start" applet that asks if I'm sure if I want to run this application.

I can say yes or no, and tick a box to remember the answer.

This is the problem at hand; icedtea-web can't remember the answer if I check the "yes" button.

Java works fine when it is started.

I have tried to purge all java and reinstalled openjdk-7, java web start and icedtea web-controlpanel.

I've tried to play around with the control panel for java web start but with no success.
