A workaround is to install the SUN java, but my experience is that this breaks other services, i.e., jexec because the soft-links in /etc/alternatives are not all removed and recreated correctly.
This is a serious problem. Could you be more specific (give me an example)? I do many switching and changing of the JVM and got no problem.
I've had this happen twice now, and I'm probably jumping to root cause, but the symptoms I've seen in duplicating the issue are that, after installing the SUN java package (either manually or through the channel), the JRE does indeed work, but upon reboot, the jexec services won't start. The system will mostly boot, even to runlevel 5 and it will allow login, but other services such as NetworkManager won't start up. In troubleshooting the problem, I notice that, even when the package(s) are removed the soft-links still exist in /etc/alternatives, but when the package(s) are reinstalled, these services still don't work. Because I've been through this twice on my installed system, I'd prefer not to have to suffer the pain again, but I can try to duplicate this again on a VM if you need. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
