Hi,

I have installed the 1.6.0.java plugin, how make it useable?

Do you have a 32bit firefox installed? (I think you don't... I remember from other threads that you use nspluginwrapper for flash). if you have the 64bit FF, I think there is still no solution for Java yet... The only way would be to change to the 32bit version of FF.

but then you have most likely other plugins not working (just in my mind comes vlc-mozillaplugin, which would need to be 32bit too, then you downgrade vlc to 32 bit...)

I always suggest for people that really need java INSIDE the browser to go for a complete 32bit installation... less hassle for them.

Most x86_64 CPUs support 32-bit very well you know. Don't all these new shiny 64-bit boxes come with 32-bit MS Vista? That should be an indication of how MS and PC-vendors feel about 64-bit on the desktop. I run 64-bit openSUSE myself on my primary box and have for some time. So I'm not agitating against doing that. I'm just slightly annoyed that people act all surprised and complain when they run into some problems with proprietary software I guess. Don't understand how anyone remotely involved can still be surprised that these issues exist. Maybe I was a bit harsh though, I'll try to keep my bitterness off the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I do not have the slightest problem with it. Where is Firefox situated? Or better; what is the command to ask bash where it lives? monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> rpm -qa | grep mozillafirefox monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> rpm -qa | grep MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.11-1.7 MozillaFirefox-translations-2.0.0.11-1.7 monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> set | egrep MozillaFirefox monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> set | egrep '(MozillaFirefox)' monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> echo MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> where MozillaFirefox bash: where: command not found monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> whereis MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox: monkey9@tribal-sfn2:~> you see not obvious... Indeed, there are some things written about it in the past, and as i recall we all agreed there should be fit a 64bit version of java in a 64bit firefox, on a 64bit platform..

Hi,

Hmm, that's not surprising. Every Firefox release works that way. What you got from ftp.mozilla.org is a 32bit build of Firefox and that together with the 32bit Java plugin always worked.

Perhaps not suprising to some. However, I've been looking for a documented method to get firefox working with Java on my 64-bit PC > for a week now, and after figuring it out, I assumed someone might appreciate seeing the steps I used to get it working. If this is documented somewhere clearly, that would be nice.

It's pretty simple: Install MozillaFirefox, java-1_5_0-sun-plugin and java-1_5_0-sun in their 32bit versions from openSUSE and all is working automatically.

Hello, Just about two weeks late on this.. Hope somebody will see it. I am also trying to get Java working on my 64 bit Firefox on 10.3 (MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.11-1.5) I also have java-1.5.0 and java-1.6.0 installed. Don't know if they are 32 bit or not. They have many many files scattered everywhere. eg: bob@Easystreet:~> whereis java java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/lib64/java /usr/bin/X11/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz bob@Easystreet:~> But there is no /java directory in either /usr or /usr/local Now, I attempt to install the plugin but I am offered different varieties of 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 in i586 or x86_64. Don't know which I need. Not knowing what to do I went to the java site and downloaded the jre-6u3-linux-amd64.rpm but did not install it because the install instructions say it should be installed in /usr/java or /usr/local/java, neither of which I have. And, I don't want to scatter more unknown java files throughout my system.. Should I uninstall the two javas that I have and start over fresh? Hope somebody will straighten out my confusion here.
