Someone recently posted on Java and Mozilla and I am going to respond but I wanted to try my method in SuSE 8.0 first. I had only done it in 9.0. I realized that on my 8.0 PC, my Mozilla was old and I hadn't installed Java yet. I updated Mozilla and then went to Sun to get the latest Java. I visited http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and clicked on download under "Download J2SE v 1.4.2_03 JRE" and there it just hangs, waiting to connect. I tried the same with IE6 and got connected right away. It seems that Sun, not exactly a friend of Gates has made a web site that only works with IE? Has anyone else noticed this? Damon Register

No I haven't had any problems. I have most of java.sun.com mirrored on my hard drive. ;-) Seriously. I download from sun every day, and haven't hit a snag in months.

I just went there, with my SuSE 9.0/Mozilla 1.5 combination and it works fine. On Thu, Feb 12, 2004 at 07:25:43AM -0500, Damon Register wrote:

Now I am getting more curious. I tried on 4 different PC/browser combinations 1. SuSE 9 with Mozilla 1.5 and Sun java 1.4.2-b28 2. SuSE 8.0 with MozillaFirebird 0.7 and no Java 3. Windows XP with MozillaFirebird 0.7 and Sun Java 1.4.2_03 4. Windows XP with IE6 Only number 4 was able to go to that link on http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html Is anyone else able to get there right now? Maybe the page has changed since others have gone there? Damon Register

Yes. I've had Java installed (from that site) for weeks.
If so, what version?
1.4.2-b28
Did you actually click on the download link for the JRE package and get it?
Once upon a time, yes. This time, no, because I didn't want to start a pointless download. I just validated that I could get well past the point where you said you were hung up. I just now went back there and got the download started, then canceled. No problems.
Now I am getting more curious. I tried on 4 different PC/browser combinations 1. SuSE 9 with Mozilla 1.5 and Sun java 1.4.2-b28 2. SuSE 8.0 with MozillaFirebird 0.7 and no Java 3. Windows XP with MozillaFirebird 0.7 and Sun Java 1.4.2_03 4. Windows XP with IE6

Sure, no problems. It doesn't use java, it's just a regular form. Works like a charm in any browser I've tried
And the most recent version of Java is 1.5 ;-) On Thursday 12 February 2004 6:25 am, Damon Register wrote:

Hi. I'm trying to use xinetd to run pservers, but want to have multiple instances, i.e. standard 2401 port works, but when I try to have a 2402 as well, I can't seem to get anything to happen. In the /etc/xinetd.d, the cvs file links to the 2401port cvs pserver, but in yast xinetd editor, I can't create another entry for cvspserver because it defaults the user and group to "--default--" and you can't change it - consequently you cannot add a service as it says they are reserved for system use. Any ideas?

Yes. I'm not sure why Sun's website doesn't always work well with Mozilla but I've had occasional problems with bits of it. I'd suggest you use Konqueror any time you hit an error. Also, you might find Sun's own Software Download Manager useful if you want to download anything big without broadband. It does rely on you having Java and is a little cryptic, but it allows you to continue interrupted downloads. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

Are y'all using stale builds of Mozilla? I never run anything over a week old unless I haven't logged into the system for that long. I'm really liking firebird,firefox, or whateve they call this new stripped-down, high-speed version. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ I've noticed IE totally pukes on the Mozilla download links. I had to resort to bash to get it on Wondoze.

I was using version 1.4, which isn't very old. It turns out that the problem (at least for me) wasn't the version. It's a security setting. Sun works fine if you do Edit>Prefrences...

Strange. Is that something you originally setup, or 'out of the box'? I never hit that.

It really takes very little time for me to kick off the build. just set the CVSROOT and cvs co mozilla one time. cd to mozilla and make -f client.mk && goodsound || badsound. After I hear good sound, I close the browser and make -f client.mk install. The last two terms are defined in a script I source from my ~/.bashrc to load some default functions. badsound used to be a blood-curdling scream, but after a few exit on errors at 3 am while I was home alone and deeply focused on coding, I had to find something a be less startling. export SOUND_HOME=/home/hattons/sound export SOUNDCONS=$SOUND_HOME/soundcons function goodsound(){ play $SOUNDCONS/blues-lick.wav; } function badsound(){ play $SOUNDCONS/rolling-thunder.wav; } This is the ~/.mozconfig I use: # sh # Build configuration script # # See http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html for build instructions. # # Options for 'configure' (same as command-line options). #ac_add_options --enable-xft mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j8 # will really slow down the system ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --enable-xpctools ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --prefix=/home/hattons/opt/org/mozilla ac_add_options --exec-prefix=/home/hattons/opt/org/mozilla #ac_add_options --enable-svg #recently puked mk_add_options MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1 MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1 #########EOF########### Putting the key out on a public server would require a bit of research, and I am actually very busy.
