Tell them that you screwed up the original install. That way Linux is off the hook.
Good idea, except for the fact that I've been using it for months now. Not credible excuse. On Jan 3, 2008 10:49 PM, <auxsvr@gmail.com> wrote:

Argh!!! I can't believe it's that simple! Removing the ~/.java directory does solve the problem! On that note, does anyone know what created that directory in the first place?

When I mentioned SuSEconfig, I didn't realize your java problem was specific to one user account, but I suppose I shouldn't have made any assumptions. Oh well, another tidbit to store away for a rainy day.

I could be wrong but usually those ~/. files are created the first time you run the app. after that it adds anything it needs as needs arise. The ones in user directories are almost always specific to the users needs w/ only the caveat that they are not able to change anything settings admin ( root) sets.
