No luck with Ubuntu 14.04

[Simon Marshall]

Hi I am trying to run AUSkey on Ubuntu 14.04 but am getting no where...

Attempting this from the post registration email:

" The following link will install your AUSkey. See further instructions below.

https://auskey.abr.gov.au/Activate.aspx?code=MSSTxfGWJzSW&verify=Y&pid=71
For security reasons, the link will only remain active for 42 days. This AUSkey registration will be cancelled if you do not install it within this period.

-Installing your AUSkey on a computer-
  1. Click on the AUSkey install link above
  2. If a message displays asking you to download and install required software, follow the instructions on the page (if no software is required go to Step 4)
  3. After installing the software, return to this email and select the AUSkey install link again
  4.  Follow the screen prompts to install your AUSkey "

The link takes me knowwhere in Firefox. I have Ice tea Java already installed.

I try to install Oracle Java but the weblinks ( Note: For downloading Java other flavors of Linux see Java for Ubuntu,) take me here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

...and I don't know which to choose. I tried the oracle Java but I can never get tar.gz files to install...dont think i ever have had it work :-/

Would love some help... I have 42 days!

Cheers Simon.

... never mind. I got it to work. There was a little "allow icetea to run" popup which was being blocked which I allowed. That and a couple of system reboots, then I ran the link in firefox again and away we went. seems to be installed now.

GDay Simon ,if you happen to read this, I'm having exactly the same problem . Tell me more about where I might find this popup "allow icetea to run".. Please.

Hey, I can't remember exactly as I don't normally use firefox. as I already had ice tea installed firefox was trying to run it from there but at the same time it was blocking it. There was a message somewhere on the screen which I did not see at first which allowed me to run it from iced tea.
Hope that helps.
