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 Worked here. I have Blackdown java 1.4.2 installed for my 64 bit browser. AFAIK, it is the only 64 bit java plugin.
Which has always worked in my suse install since 9.0. Why not in 10.3? What arch? If you run i586, this would not apply. It is i586 and what is weird is that is says:
"Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page"
huh.. no kidding? It also suggests to "Install the missing plugin"
Still sounds reasonable. But when you go to "install plugins" it shows the following plugins available:
"Java Runtime Environment"
But when you click "next" to install the plugin, you get the message:
"Java Runtime Environment Not Available [ manual install ]"
Which takes you to the generic Sun java download page http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp. I have never had any problems with java and firefox. Why now? I know java is installed fine because

works fine in konqueror.
Any other places to check?
For me after doing:
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/javaplugin sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so javaplugin
I get java stuff just fine, but it still says I am missing the javaplug-in
I don't know how this patch got past QA.. Must have been sleeping on the job..
WIth that said. the page: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=SHV&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
Crashes my Opera with the changes I did above..
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"
When I restarted Firefox, my missing java plugin was back and happy.
Give it a shot and see if that cleans up the problem.
