Java

[Guest]

OK, read some other posts. I just came over to Kubuntu from Ubuntu and love it so far. I run Swiftweasel for the web which seems to run as well in K as in U, BUT I cannot get Java working in the browser. Installed the Java 6 package from Add / Remove but the test pages still come up requesting the plug-in.

Help appreciated...

EDIT: Damnit - it works in Konqueror...why not in Swiftweasel??

Re: Java

Man you need to set the libjavaplugin here is how it is done
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/

Im also having an issue on this. Can someone help?
I dont have the plugin I dont know why so how can I get it? I have all the java packages installed but the plugin is simple not there, help is much appreciated. Oh Im using kubuntu in a AMD64 so ive tried the 3in1 script

Re: Java

I tried following these directions in 8.04 and received the following error:

ln: target `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/' is not a directory: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Re: Java

If using firefox beta the directory will be /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
