Hi you all!
I have a problem with java on firefox and konqueror.
I have installed kubuntu-restricted-extras. this package include java-rountime-environment, but when I see a web site that use java, I see a message that tell me that I have not installed java-rountime-environment....
so, I can not see graphics or other applications that use java...
Can you help me?

Re: Java, firefox and konqueror

What tells aboutlugins at the url line ?

Here: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_13-b03



If the Firefox is finding the java plugin you could verify your Java (Sun):

> Verify Java Version

Check to ensure that you have the recommended version of Java installed for your operating system.

Here it tells: Your Java version is Version 6 Update 13.

With the Jaunty the Package: kubuntu-restricted-extras (31) will install Package: sun-java6-jre (6-13-1).


With the Konqueror:

> konqueror Java plugin

> Konqueror uses the `java` command itself rather than any plugin.
> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Java & JavaScript -> Enable Java
> Globally

Re: Java, firefox and konqueror

No error, it's a common problem with Firefox. I had to manually install the Java plug-in. You need to copy or symbolic link the libjavaplugin_oji.so (on my system located in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/ns7/i386) to ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. Restart Firefox then do aboutlugins, you should see it.

Re: Java, firefox and konqueror

Re: Java, firefox and konqueror

a) locate the plugin /1/

Update:

sudo updatedb

Locate:

locate libjavaplugin_oji.so

Here (i have an i386):

:~$ locate libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so

b) Make a symlink (softlink /2/) for a user (with an i386)

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Alternatives:

b'2) Make a symlink for all users (if you have several)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

b'3) You could use a filemanager, it has an option "Link here"
- split the window (or use two filemanagers)
- drag&drop the libjavaplugin_oji.so, choose the "Link Here"option.
