French income tax e-declaration

by Julien on May 30th, 2009

As usual, I have chosen to use the online way of declaring my incomes for the French income tax. This year, I could declare everything without any issue using Iceweasel and Icedtea on Debian GNU/Linux amd64. However, I was unable to sign my declaration using my certificate.

I have tried installing sun-java6-plugin, which allowed me to go one step further, but I was still unable to choose the certificate with which I had to sign my declaration. Actually, it was only a display problem (the combo box was simply not displayed).

Guess what? I had to use the Windows 7 RC version I had installed in a VirtualBox to be able to sign my declaration!

I didn’t want to lose more time with this, but my girlfriend hasn’t yet made her declaration, hence any hints on how to do this on GNU/Linux would be highly apprciated.

    Just a short comment to let you know everything has worked perfectly from our i386 laptop, using sun-java6-plugin, which had been updated in the meantime.

    This year, it works using Epiphany (with Gecko engine) on debian. Last year, I spent some trying to sign. Guess what? When there seems to be a problem and no instruction appears on the page, you only need to reload the page!
