[opensuse] jre won't validate in firefox
this is a lot of hard work maintaining a linux system. ok. i installed jre 1.5.0.11. open office is happy and sees it. firefox is choking. i su password and cd into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins then i ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so and the konsole says the connection is made. now i start firefox and go to java.com and verify the install and the browser says the plugin needs to be installed. i don't understand. dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.

-- Dwain, Would it be possible to use capital letters on those places where people expect them. Reading your messages would be easier. Maintaining linux is not that much work if you use the right tools. For your instalation of jre, what installer did you use?

If you think that's hard, try maintaining a Windows system.

Where'd you install it from? SUSE has this great tool called YAST, which allows you to install things such as that and not have to worry about the linking and such.

Uh, yeah. What you said. (I'm a newbie and have no idea of these things.)
now i start firefox and go to java.com and verify the install and the browser says the plugin needs to be installed.
What happens when you type about:plugins in the address line? You should get something like this (from mine): Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_07-b03 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_07 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-vm Java Yes application/x-java-applet Java Yes I honestly dropped back from 1.5.0_10 because it wasn't working on many things. 1.5.0_07 seems much happier. I haven't tried 1.6 yet. I'll fire up another system and try it there. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
