I was trying to find the missing symlinks as well and things were getting a bit hairy for me on that path. Then someone updated Bug #334783 with their findings, and buried in there, I was able to deduce to try the following command:
"/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --auto javaplugin"
Great !!! I did all that Eberhard said: On Sat, 2007-10-20 at 15:29 +0200, Eberhard Roloff wrote:
sure. You are wellcome.
Just to warm up: -"java" yields "command not found" -as root "find / -name "java" yields many things java, among them "/usr/bin/java"
Now for something real:
ls -la /usr/bin/java: .... /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
then ls -la /etc/alternatives/java .../etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u2-sun/bin/java (which does not exist!)
go to /etc/alternatives and delete the existing link to the non existing java executable: as root: cd /etc/alternatives rm java
create a new link there with the name "java" to the existing java executable. Beforehand, check on your system, whether java is REALLY there, where you want to link to!
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0.u3-sun/bin/java ./java
double check with: ls la java
then as ordinary user, check, whether "java" yields a long explanation of all the parameters that you can use with it. ;-))
start firefox enjoy.
I hope it will work for you, as well.
kind regards Eberhard
BUT only as I executed this last "/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --auto javaplugin" command did my Java on OpenSUSE 10.3 with the newest Firefox work! Thanx all! :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
