For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window." The /usr/lib/jvm/ director does not contain a directory named "java-1.6.0-openjdk". It contains: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0 jre -> /etc/alternatives/jre jre-1.6.0 -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.6.0 jre-1.6.0-openjdk -> java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0/jre jre-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_openjdk This error started after a recent openjdk update to java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b22.1.10.2-4.3.1.i586 (or, possibly, icedtea-web to icedtea-web-1.1-0.4.2.i586). I believe the openjdk update was the more recent of the two. It has occurred on both i686 and x86_64 installations of openSUSE 11.4, and both times very recently after java updates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Firefox 5, openjdk, and icedtea-web, bring both up-to-date as of July 9, 2011. 2. Browse to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp 3. Observe error message from icedtea plugin Actual Results: Received dialog error message, "icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window." Expected Results: Expected to see the dancing java graphic. I suspect manually adding in /usr/lib/jvm/ a link to java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0 called "java-1.6.0-openjdk" would resolve the error message and cause java to be found and work. But I don't know if the bug is the lack of this directory link or the java setup in /etc/alternatives/. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
