[Bug 582206] New: FF 3.6 needs Sun Java 1.6 > u10, FF 3.6 does not work with Java when openJDK is installed
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582206 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582206#c0 Summary: FF 3.6 needs Sun Java 1.6 > u10, FF 3.6 does not work with Java when openJDK is installed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: werner.flamme@ufz.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6 Hi, I just discovered that in my 11.2 x86_64 FF 3.6 did not work with any Java pages, for example the ILOM port of my Sun V40z servers. There was no Java showing up on about:plugins. I had both Javas installed, openJDK as well as Sun. As soon as I deinstalled openJDK, about:plugins showed a Java plugin, and I see my ILOM pages again. Now I do the "zypper patch", where I get a lot of patterns-openSUSE-something updated from 11.2-20.22.1 to 11.3-1.1.1 (is this a feauture?), and among other small files the both packages I just deinstalled are there again. And boom! - no Java plugin in Firefox, no looking at the ILOM indicators. Now I have to deinstall them via YaST, where I can mark them as "never install this!" so it won't bother me again... Unfortunately, Opera recognizes the Java environment, but does not cooperaty with any of those (openJDK, Sun), so I can't even switch the browser for looking at those pages... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update Firefox to 3.6 from the mozilla repository 2. start FF, open an new tab with URL about:plugins OR look at Extras -> AddOns -> Plugins: no Java; looking at pages containing Java does not work 3. rpm -e java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0_b16-5.10.1.x86_64 java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b16-5.10.1.x86_64 4. step 2 again, but: Java plugin is there; pages containing Java are back to work Actual Results: After I removed java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin and java-1_6_0-openjdk, FF showed the Java pages again. Apparently, the openJDK plugin confuses FF. This I can say because the reinstallation of openJDK as dependency by some "patterns-opensuse" brings FF 3.6 back to "I don't work with Java" :-( http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml may explain why. Expected Results: I do not need openJDK since I have Sun's Java installed. I do not want openJDK because it does not cooperate with FF 3.6. But I do not see how to declare this as an installation dependancy... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm also not quite sure. If package management would do "the right thing" but I don't think so. It would most likely refuse to update Firefox what is not what I'd like to see ;-) Actually such a conflict is a too hard "requirement". We don't have Requires for Java plugins as well. I'm not sure how to tell users to choose the right plugin actually. For 11.3 we should be fine and 3.6 is no official update for older ones. Not sure if there is an easy way to solve it and if it's worth the effort. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When openJDK is deinstalled, /etc/alternatives/javaplugin points to the right place. But it does not when I do a "update-alternatives --config java" and choose the Sun Java as Java environment. A lot of other links are changed, but the javaplugin still points to the wrong location. I do not remember where I saw the configuration of update-alternatives, maybe it's only something to change there instead of introducing confusing "requirement"s? ;-) Regards, Werner -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please use Java:openjdk6:Factory. @Werner: this is expected behavior, to change the plugin implementation, you have to use update-alternatives --config javaplugin. I tested it and works well. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
