[opensuse] 10.3 No Java Runtime for Firefox?
Listmates, I have no Java in firefox even though yast shows java-1.5 and java-1.5 runtime installed. I have read the threads about the broken links and run the update-alternatives --config --java and update-alternatives --config --javac. Neither help and simply say no alternatives are available. I have also completely removed and reinstalled java 1.5 through Yast. Still no joy. What say the gurus about getting java to work in firefox? Specifically, I want to see: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=SHV&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Which has always worked in my suse install since 9.0. Why not in 10.3? -- David C.

Using your above link, I find errors too. Hmm. At least I'm workable in Firefox right now but would love to see it completely fixed. I'm certain Novell will push out a patch ASAP.

I have no Java in firefox even though yast shows java-1.5 and java-1.5 runtime installed. I have read the threads about the broken links and run the update-alternatives --config --java and update-alternatives --config --javac. Neither help and simply say no alternatives are available. I have also completely removed and reinstalled java 1.5 through Yast. Still no joy.
Check the plugins manually: "ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins" should list something like this (10.2) libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so* It is a symlink; So, we go and check the second part: cer@nimrodel:~> ls -l /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 83 2007-10-18 21:54 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Again: cer@nimrodel:~> ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103436 2007-09-26 05:42 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Finally, we got a real file. If at some step you don't, well, simply repair the symlink. How? Well, there are many methods; I like 'mc'. Your case could be different; for instance, in 10.3 the initial symlink could be "javaplugin.so": /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so --> /etc/alternatives/javaplugin - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
