Hi,

I'm trying to use the iDRAC6 (version 1.50) Java console for a Dell R815 server, but it does not work with the Sun JRE (java6), on my Linux Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit system, using Firefox 3.6.10. When I click on the "Launch" button, I can see the Sun Java Web Start logo, but after a while I get the error reported below [1].

However, I managed to run the remote console by installing the openjdk JRE and its browser plugin, and explicitly selecting the openjdk javaws when launching the Java console.

Is there a way to let the Sun JRE work with iDRAC ?

Thanks, regards.
