[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.4 and bad Java installs
Hello, I've have wrecked my Java build on my 11.4 box and I am having a hell of time getting it to work properly. After installing and uninstalling each of the following; jre-6u35-linux-x64-rpm.bin, jre-7u7-linux-i586.rpm, jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm, ...,I finally installed openjdk and its corresponding plugin to finally get some java capabilities in my browsers, Firefox, etc. However, I still get javascript errors on many webpages and I am almost at wits end. I would like to start from scratch by uninstalling all instances of Java and clean up /etc/alternatives, or whatever needs to be done to get a nice clean, properly linked java install with the browser plugins working properly. Could someone point me to a link or howto that can show me how to accomplish this? Many thanks in advance, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

javascript is not java. For java, verify here: <http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp> and here are instructions: <https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java-for-opensuse> - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Hi 12.2 with all the updates Firefox doesn't run the applet at all. No warning messages. Chromium blocks iced tea because it needs a 'critical update'. The download pages do not include openSUSE rpm's. Any easy way to get the patch?

You get the openSUSE packages for other java flavors except for jre, that one is non redistributable. If you want the jre flavor you need to get it yourself. Firefox will not run the applet in the test page if the java version is too old, because FF blocks it. You do not see the warning in the page, you see it in the about plugins page if you try to enable java. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Hi Thanks. Actually, it's IcedTea it's complaining about and 12.2 already has the latest version. I'll start another thread. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
