Thanks for your rapid answer.
I checked all that :
Quote: | root@Catwoman:/home/tiphaine# update-alternatives --config java
Il existe 4 choix pour l'alternative java (qui fournit /usr/bin/java).
Sélection Chemin Priorité État
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /opt/java-oracle/jdk1.7.0/bin/java 20000 mode automatique
1 /opt/java-oracle/jdk1.7.0/bin/java 20000 mode manuel
2 /usr/bin/gij-4.7 1047 mode manuel
* 3 /usr/java/latest/jre1.7.0_45/bin/java 1 mode manuel
4 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java 1062 mode manuel
Appuyez sur <Entrée> pour conserver la valeur par défaut[*] ou choisissez le numéro sélectionné : |
And my iceweasel uses javaws as default ( /usr/java/latest/jre1.7.0_45/bin/javaws )
One more info : I can't close the FFBClient window once it's crashed. I've got to use a killall java to get rid of it. |

I'm still on Mint 15 here, so I'm a little lost.
Does Debian use pulseaudio, or ALSA, or something completely else for handling sound?
If possible, try and launch a spec game, go to the menu and turn off all sounds. |

Don't know for sure but I think I'm on ALSA or pulseaudio, nothing really special.
I can't reach the menu, even in spec mode, I'm stuck with the info panel and can't do anything in the ffb window. |

I think it's running Pulseaudio. But I'm not sure if it has autospawn enabled as default. You could try a simple :
sudo killall pulseaudio
and see if the sound reboot automatically.. If not try to launch a game without pulseaudio running. This will help to narrow down the problem. |

OK.
I deactivated pulseaudio autospawn
But even without pulseaudio running I can't get past the "About FFB Client" window.
So, well, the problem is narrowed down, but still here.
I really appreciate your help, truckerpunch |

Rather strange... I haven't seen this problem before. Usually people experience crashes or freezes after the "about"-screen. The only difference from our java setup seems to be that I run mine in "auto" mode:
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 1074 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java 1071 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 1074 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
But it dosen't seem like you have that option... And I doubt that should be the issue.
Perhaps try to purge all java from your system, and reinstall oracle java 1.7.45 again, to make sure that it's the only java avaliable, and it's not an intrenal error in the java itself? |

Well, I'm don't know how to be sure to purge all java from my system, as I've followed many howtos and have quite a few javas hanging around.
But I think it lay be the source of my problem.
Any tip about purging my system ?
Thanks |

Try this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge java*
Still remember I'm not too familiar with Debian, but I believe this should work. |

Hmmm...
it would have removed several programs like libreoffice or rythmbox, even nautilus-related packages so I'll try it a different way... and some other day.
I'll let you know.
Thanks again, mate |

Ok, I finally tried it right now.
For those interested, I followed Eric Carvalho's instructions on this topic to uninstall all my java versions : http://askubuntu.com/questions/84483/how-to-completely-uninstall-java
Then I installed java as explained there : http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html (thank you suckerpunch for the tip)
Now my updates-alternatives looks like this, clean and simple :
Quote: | root@Catwoman:/home/tiphaine# update-alternatives --config java
Il existe 1 choix pour l'alternative java (qui fournit /usr/bin/java).
Sélection Chemin Priorité État
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 1 mode automatique
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 1 mode manuel
Appuyez sur <Entrée> pour conserver la valeur par défaut[*] ou choisissez le numéro sélectionné : |
Then I configured Iceweasel to use the right javaws.
I restarted my PC just in case.
And I'm stuck with the same problem : Java runs, I've got the now infamous warning message and... I'm stuck on the "about" panel and can't access menus or even close the window without a "killall java"
I admit I'm puzzled. |

Grrr.. This is annoying. Java setup looks fine, as you say. You could swap to automatic mode just to give it a try, or try through another browser, though I doubt it will make a difference. But I'm running out of ideas here.
Perhaps save the fbb.jnlp file on your computer and launch with: javaws ffb.jnlp |

I tried all (automatic mode, launching via terminal, and even installing chromium to try it via another browser), and I'm still at the same point, just a little more frustrated.
Well, I guess I'll use another PC to play. |

OK.
I got an automatic update recently, so I just gave a try...
And now it works just fine...
It doesn't explain any of it but at least it works. Thanks for all your time, truckerpunk. |
