e-tax 2012 (Australia) Forum

Tried installing 2012 in 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04, etax program is running quite well (bit slow & has to refresh to fill in fields) but no internet connection via IExplorer 7.

Pity IE doesnt work, or I could prefile, and mabey lodge online.

Got this working fine once IE 7 bug fixed :)

Sucessfully did pre-fill, auth and lodgement online. :)

Tip from CX IE7 Page:

"After installing IE 7 using all defaults on a relatively clean Ubuntu 12.04 system, every time I started Internet Explorer it gave me a save file dialog and then closed. I tried the RunOnceHasShown/RunOnceComplete tip (using both string & dword keys) but no luck. After searching support tickets, I found the following command in ticket 889054 which fixed it for me:

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

To make this persistent across reboots, you'll need to change /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf to match this line:

kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0
"

"Got this working fine once IE 7 bug fixed :) "

Goodo 😎

I've only ever tested 20xx in a 32bit ubuntu / mint setup . .

• the trick is to ensure that the M$ie7 works - in it's own bottle . .
  then install the *.msi file & it should install, just fine.

I've never got the "online_lodgement" bit - to work 😥
