Hmm.. I've never dabbled into java configurations myself, so I don't really know, but it almost looks like you don't have the permissions to access that java ... component...

maybe try as root/sudo? [though running an app such as a web browser as root isn't probably the wises decision either...?]

I'm sure someone who actually knows will be around shortly :)
 
I was thinking the whole browser... but again, security wise that's not the best way of doing this I'm sure...
 
o so its probally not me? i guess i havent checked any other sites to see if it was set up properly... lol going to do that now!
 
The website link mikedt provided includes JRE packages in both .rpm and .tar.gz form. The tarball (.tar.Hz) can be installed on any Linux distro including Unbuntu. Just download the tarball and follow the installation instructions on the website.

You don't need to install IcedTea at all. In fact I would recommend against it.
