Re: problem with java plugin on firefox

hmm ok ..
if you go to about:config

and type 'java' in the filter bar...
you should an option... java.java_plugin_library_name[*]javaplugin_oji
which is lcated at ..
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so (symlink)

if it's not there ...
you can proly jsut link to it manuallly ...

ln -s /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins

then restart fx .. it should detect it .. if not then you might be able to the location of it .. in about:config

right clik and create a new string ...
the naem should be 'java.java_plugin_library_name' , and value 'libjavaplugin_oji.so'

hope that helps wink

Re: problem with java plugin on firefox

i dunno .. maybe that'd help ...
but you prolly logout and log back in first to make sure it's not just something not being updated ..

Re: problem with java plugin on firefox

is neither of you using arch64 ?
because i read something on the wiki, said that "x86_64 arch doesn't have any applet support yet"
i confirmed this on the official website of JAVA Sun Microsystems.
meaning the statement still stands, only 32-bit linux can use it.

i'm trying out openjdk6 now, hope it works.

[20081128-update]

IT WORKED! and without question.
i removed jre & jdk from my system and turn to openjdk6.
the java-applet ran perfectly on my firefox 3.0.4.

so i guess it's the problem of 64 arch alright.
for those who has the same problem, try openjdk6 for a change.

ps: i used to edit jre's fallback font 'cause i'm using a multibyte environment,
but now openjdk6 finds it by itself, which saved me a lot of trouble. big_smile
