[opensuse] Problem with Firefox Finding JRE
I am running Firefox 2.0.2 on a 64 bit openSUSE 10.2 system (the package is part of the OS distribution). JRE is installed in the defualt subdirectories /usr/java/jrel.5.0_11. Whenever I have to access an application that requires java I get the message: 'Additional plugins ar required to display all the media on this page.' Then Firefox tells me that the following plugins are available Java Runatime Environment but the Plugin Service Finder tells me that JRE is not available and we go around and around in a circle of diminishing radius. Whst do I need to change? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Whenever I have to access an application that requires java I get the message:
'Additional plugins ar required to display all the media on this page.' So it is not able to use the plugin.

but the Plugin Service Finder tells me that JRE is not available and we go around and around in a circle of diminishing radius. The default for openSUSE is a 32 bit browser in a 64 bit OS. If your Java is 64 bit, the browser cannot use it.
Whst do I need to change? There is a i586 version of java with the distro that works.

Thanks in advance. i'm having the same problem even after making the symbolic connection. you have done that? java is aware of the problem and they are working on fixing the bug. there is a note on the download jre page that states
