Java chat trouble

[Urban Ranger]

Not sure if this was posted.

When I tried Java chat the RTE came back with a message about signer of some of the bits does not match the rest.

java.lang.SecurityException: class "Ident"s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package.

Well Marcos?

[Skanky Burns]

I get that too, and can't use the chatroom as a consequence.

Actual there are two threads in this forum already. Unfortunatly no reply from Marcos so far. And I can't use the java chat room, either.

i asked about this a while ago and never got a response

I've gotten it to work to 2 out of the 12 different computers I tried it on. or 1 out of 6 different kinds of computers I tried it on. I believe it was an old IBM p2 lab that got the java chat client to work.

[ColdWizard]

just use mIRC or other such client

[H Tower]

mIrc is unavailable in the computer labs on campus

[ColdWizard]

unavailable meaning you can't install anything?

[Skanky Burns]

Most computer labs won't let you install any software.

[ColdWizard]

the one i worked at did, but it was a small school and it was a while ago.

perhaps those that can't get in with the java chat can take small solace in there's generally not a lot going on in the chat aside from slappings, incoherent ramblings and the occasional funny link

the computers at my school erase everything new you put on their c: drives. lucky for me, we have our own personal drives on the network and i was able to install opera. meaning i'll never have to use IE again

[J Bytheway]

I had this bug when I installed the Java SDK and it took over my IE's default behaviour. To get it working I had to revert to the Microsoft Virtual Machine again. This suggests it might be either a problem with the MS VM, or dependant on which version of Java you have.

[Urban Ranger]

You can select the JRE to be either the default JVM or not. Besides, I don't use IE, so that's not a problem.

But that's such a bother

Besides, I don't want to stick IRC clients on all the computers I use to access 'Poly.

I must agree here and as H Tower already pointed out that isn't possible on every computer Apolytoners could use.

So Marcos when you fix this M$-Bug, I don't believe that newer Java versions aren't backwards compartible.
