[SOLVED] JMol browser applet not working after SAGE upgrade

Dear all

I have just upgraded the sage-mathematics package and it seems there has been some changes; some packages that where included before are now optional dependencies.
I installed sage-notebook and jmol (java 3D plotter) after the update, as they where no longer included in the main package, and I need both for my work.

Now, when I try to run any parametric_plot3d on the notebook interface, I do not get any output, with neither Firefox nor Midori.
If I run the same command from the sage CLI, JMol pops up with the right output.

I am using jre7 and icedtea-web. My icedtea is working with other java-applets on the web.

Any ideas to why this is happening?

What was the previous Sage version you were using? If it was 6.4.1-1, please open a bug report in bugs.archlinux.org to track the problem.

Thank you for the answer, arojas. My previous version was 6.4.1-1, so I have submitted a bug report here.

The sage package was broken up into several smaller packages.

Yes that was what I suspected.
And it is why I installed jmol and sage-notebook separately afterwards. Is there any other package I might be missing for the JMol applet to work in a browser?

It looks like jmol and sage-notebook were part of the big sage package, but are now optional dependencies (not everyone used it and would be a big bulk item).  Some people probably are using kdeedu-cantor as the graphical element and using sage, r, and maxima as the backends.
