Taxme Ubuntu Lucid Lynx

Well this post is very strongly Swiss oriented and of no interest to anyone not living in Bern.

I downloaded the new Taxme software, for paying taxes, nothing very funny!
Unfortunately, it worked fine with Ubuntu 9.10, but with Lucid, it just did not start.
Silently without any notice. The log was not very explicit, but I then tried to start the application with root. And it worked.

i.e. from the console:

sudo ./TaxMeBe2009

There is still a problem with the help which cannot be displayed as apparently the application cannot find firefox.

Strangely I had to download the version with the java virtual machine. But this is most probably due to the fact that I have a 64b system

    Download from http://www.dvbern.ch/navigation/aktuell/nbsp/article/taxme-2010-fuer-linux-verfuegbar.html?tx_ttnews[backPid]=9&cHash=478490046f

    then in a console:
    chmod +x install.bin
    after that without sudo:
    ./install.bin
    You can find a link ~/TaxMeBe 2010
    have fun...
