Good morning!

Congratulations to the AntiX Team for their great job!

After a fresh install (dual-boot mode with Xubuntu), a couple of problems still pending:
- Though properly installed (so say Terminal and Synaptic : version JDK 1.6.0.27), Java doesn't appear in the Firefox plug-ins list or in"about plug-ins".
- Printer driver for Canon MP520: a warning box prevents from completing the process with whatever generic pilot recommended (Cups Server Error:"Cups-Authorization Cancelled")
- Streamtuner2 : remains desperately mute and blind while RadioTray (added) runs perfectly.

Can you suggest ways to tackle this problems?
Many thanks in advance. __{{emoticon}}__

This is a known issue awaiting a fix to be included in antiX.

In the meantime the symptoms and Debian fix are here

====================================
"The Firefox web browser will, henceforth, require users to manually activate Java objects on sites that they visit, Mozilla has confirmed. This even affects up-to-date versions of Java, which you can see on the block list. The change is aimed at improving security and moving away from a dependence on proprietary plug-ins, but critics say it will cause untold headaches for developers, admins and less-technical end-users."
I'm not certain this is the problem but it might be worth looking into.
