Ubunteros,
Recently access to Sampo Bank web site went dead/down due to licenses in java that expired. I was reading a lot of the Finnish language posts here and soon learned a lot of folks have this problem and correcting it isn't straight forward. What's more inexperienced users will have big headache trying to figure out what to do.....
Regardless, I did find one Finnish language post that lead to English language instructions that did help me. However, the English was a Google trasnslate rendering from whatever the original language was and certain steps remained unclear.
If you have problems with logging into Sampo Bank I can offer the following which helped me. PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENTATION FIRST BEFORE EXECUTING THE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. use Synaptic package manager and remove Icedtea.
2. Go to:
http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php3. On this page You will want to follow the instructions under the heading "Repository".
4. As you read the instructions it says to add "deb
http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all" in the folder named "/etc/apt/sources.list".
Doing this step may be unclear to novice user, so here is how it's done!
To accomplish this task you must open terminal and enter sudo gedit. Now you enter "deb
http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all". THEN you must save this file as "duinsoft.list" in the directory "/etc/apt/sources.list
5. Now in terminal you enter: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26
THIS MUST ALL BE ON SAME LINE !!!!!!
6. sudo apt-get update
7. sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre
Once step 7 was completed I closed terminal and navigate to Sampo bank without re-booting. Online banking worked right away! Happy!
This documentation attempts to clarify how the "duinsoft.list" file is created as it is not explained in the original instructions. Additionally, all Icedtea programs were removed before I followed these instructions. If you need to remove Icedtea it may not be a bad idea to re-boot before following these instructions.
Hope this helps.
P.S. I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
