<html><body> <div><div><br /></div><div>Ubuntu/Debian instructions are here:</div><div>http://auskey.itmaze.com.au/how-to/auskey-under-linux</div><div><br /></div><div>AUSKey only works with Sun java-1.6 and doesn't work with 1.7 or OpenJDK.</div><div><br /></div><div>The part glossed over is installing Sun JRE as a plugin under Firefox. I don't know if the Debian package installs this as the plugin by default. Look at about:plugins in the URL bar to check.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Fedora I did the following based on http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#enable:</div><div>$ mkdir ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/plugins</div><div>$ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/plugins</div><div>$ find /usr/java -name \*npjp\*</div><div>/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so</div><div>$ ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so</div><div><br /></div><div>Then disabled the ICEd tea / OpenJDK and enable the Sun jre</div><div>about:plugins to look otherwise Firefox menu -> Addons -> plugins</div><div><br /></div><div>However the libnpjp2.so is part of a Debian package so look for it. Could be under /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre looking at the AUSKey Install script.</div><div><br /></div><div>To enable javaconsole to get some reasonable error messages: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/enable_console_linux.xml</div><div><br /></div><div>I found the Web Developer firefox plugin has a Java Console under the Tools menu.

The install script of the AUSKey should do this but manually copying the files over the installed versions works.</div><div><br /></div><div>If your having troubles post stuff on the forum on the itmaze site (http://auskey.itmaze.com.au/how-to/auskey-under-linux - good to let the ATO know we're trying).</div>

Hey folks,<br /><br />
I tweeted<br />
https://twitter.com/#!/kattekrab/status/202870839157338113 <br /><br />
Thanks for the retweet john.<br /><br />
others, if you're on the twitterthang - please also consider retweeting.<br /><br />
I submitted my BAS statement last week via windows. I had no choice. <br /><br />
I have been successfully submitting my BAS online using ubuntu and<br />
firefox for years now. Switching from paper to online was fabulous, and<br />
definitely took the sting out of the busy work we do for the government<br />
- but now I have to use windows - it is the single only thing I need<br />
windows for. <br /><br />
What really pisses me off, is that this used to work. It wasn't<br />
sanctioned, but we made it work. And Auskey was meant to make it better.<br />
It hasn't. It's now broken.<br /><br />
I was going to ring the tax office last week - but ran out of time, and<br />
just had to get it done. So I booted a laptop with windows on it.<br /><br />
It feels like defeat.<br /><br />
