[opensuse] jre on openSUSE 11.2
Which package should I expect to provide the java plugin for Firefox? I do not see java in about:plugins, and web pages complain it is not found. Installed are: java-1_6_0-openjdk java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin java-1_6_0-sun I would have thought it would be in java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin. I wonder why both Sun and the openJDK versions are installed. Shouldn't it be enough to have one or the other? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

You should remove the openjdk packages. The Java Plugin is provided by java-1_6_0-sun-plugin Martin -- Rieke Computersysteme GmbH Hellerholz 5 D-82061 Neuried Email: martin@rhm.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did that. And I even forced a re-install of java-1_6_0-sun. But still no plugin. How very odd. There is no link to the java plugin in /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Who/what makes that link? I do not have /usr/lib/firefox/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, as I guess they are obsolete. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Multiple JRes can be installed... not sure why both are installed Install java-1_6_0-sun-plugin (and switch architecture of java-1_6_0-sun to i586) to get a confirmed working plugin.

That of course did it. I wonder why the openjdk was installed. It must have been done by the openSUSE 11.2 install. As you can tell, I don't use java plugins in firefox so much here at work. I was trying to check out the openSUSE Live site. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

it is installed by default. I vaguely seem to remember that the new openjdk versions should have a working java plugin (but havent confirmed that). Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I would be running whatever is the latest update from openSUSE. Seems that does not work. Maybe this is not released yet.
