2. PayPal Shipping: When using USPS shipping from the US to International destinations, the Java dialog window that opens to print the customs and shipping label doesn't work on SuSE. Domestic shipping works. The Java plugin is 1.4.2_13-b06, as shown in "about:plugins".
Just guessing here, but have you tried moving to a newer version of Java? 1.4.2 is quite an old version, and it's possible that the Java being used for that window is making calls to 1.5 or higher functions. I've seen this kind of thing happen with other sites in Windows as well as Linux and older versions of Java.
I tried installing the Java 1.6.0 rpms from the opensuse.org website but they produce failed dependency errors and refused to install. I don't want to break anything else by using rpm --force.
Particularly on 10.0 there were conflicts with 1.4.x and 1.5.x. OOo in particular was told to only use 1.4.2. You should be able to go ahead and remove 1.4.x and install 1.5 without a problem. I beleive that's what I did on my 10.0 system.
3. Certain websites with WMV video content don't work (shows "plugin needed" but no plugin was found). Is there a way to make this work? The Edit->Preferences->Contents->File Types shows some existing associations but doesn't give a way for me to add an external application such as xine.
Can't speak for Xine, but if you install MPlayer, w32codocs and mplayerplugin from the 3rd party repositories, embedded video works fine. No tinkering needed.
I actually have mplayer and w32codecs installed but couldn't get it to work on my machine. It plays the sound but just gives a blank blue window.
Like this? http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/mplayer_blue.jpg I forget how I solved that, but there's something amiss with your config.
Xine, on the other hand, works fine.
All the above works fine with Firefox on Windows XP. Any hints and tips?
What version of Java are you using in Windows?
My Windows XP box has Java 1.6.0_01.
You can move to that as well, if you want. Just do a search for SUSE 1. rpm files. HTH! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
