    HOWTO:run runecape on iced tea amd64

    1. get the right version of iced tea, normal version from default repo wont work

    from the terminal type this

    Code:

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    then copy and paste this at the bottom of the file.

    Code:

    # iced-tea updates
    deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/
    deb-src http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/

    save it, exit out of gedit

    go to synaptic and search iced tea
    install
    icedtea-java7-jre
    icedtea-java7-bin
    icedtea-java7-plugin

    2. running runescape

    go to runescape.com

    when runescape ask for high detail or low detail, scroll down

    it will say "Select Java Version - only change this if the default doesn't work"

    select "unsigned applet using default java"

    click whatever detail button BELOW the java type selection

    then do whatever you, runescape runs absolutely the same except when starting up the font is different, but that goes away one its loaded

    Runescape won't run exactly the same if the unsigned applet option is selected, seeing as none of the data that the runescape applet downloads will be cached for the next use, so every time you play you will be loading the entire game again. This means that everytime you enter an area of the map you will have to wait for the map data to load as well as the usual server loading bit.
    Basically it will work, but you will find that the loading takes a lot longer compared to using a signed applet.
