Title:
  Hangs while starting Cisco VPN

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  IcedTea version "1.2-2ubuntu1.2"
  chrome "23.0.1271.10 dev"

  I cannot connect to my University VPN. The site is myvpn.ubc.ca, but
  you would need credentials to test it.

  It says the IcedTea plugin is out of date, but clicking the update
  link just takes me to the icedtea.classpath.org website.

  If I click "Run Anyway" it hangs saying "Using Sun Java for Installation
  Sun Java applet has started. This could take up to 60 seconds. Please wait...". It will hang at  this point indefinitely, I have left it for hours at a time once with no change. 

  This is in google chrome (version mentioned above). However the same
  issue happens in firefox, with the only difference being that I do not
  get an "out of date" warning. But it still hangs in the same place
  once it tries to start.

  Note that connecting to this VPN via the site mentioned above worked
  perfectly fine a few months ago. Then it just stopped working.

  This is the only way I have of connecting to my VPN (Other clients
  like the one built into Ubuntu desktop do not seem to work despite me
  providing all the necessary information).

  With this issue, linux is effectively useless to me (VPNs are kind of
  important....)! Please fix.
