application/x-java-vm plugin?
My buddy is trying to go onto a site with a game that requires the plugin application/x-java-vm. I already installed Java from an RPM, so it's installed, but mozilla isn't picking up on it. I accidentally realized that a mozilla window was open during the RPM installation, would this hinder the install? :scratch:
Please help, thanks!! |
I'm trying thins on my own ... I've done a hundred searches, and I still can't get it to work ... :(
Help please!! |
make a symbolic link after you figure out the proper paths -- mine is
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> (linked to) /opt/j2sdk/j2sdk-precompiled/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so use ln -s target linkname |
I already did that, it doesn't work
|
Oh, I don't have the SDK kit, I have the other one, does it make a difference?

bump, I really wanna help my neighbors out with this

You don't need the java sdk. The following instructions are for the SDK, so you may have to modify them a bit if you have just installed the jre. What distribution have you installed the java rpm. If you have installed it on Redhat/Fedora or Mandrake. You need to switch to root and create a symlink to the java plugin. For example on my Fedora core system, I would create the symlink as follows,
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk[version]/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla[version]/plugins/. The command above should be on one line. |
you are not giving us alot of details to go on but try getting the mozilla java plugin for fedora core 2 from
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...j2re&srodzaj=3 if you need to ask more we need: your exact distribution exact version of mozilla you are using your gcc version exactly what java rpm you installed and where it came from exact output of mozilla -> help -> about plugins -- concerning java and exact output of ls -l on mozilla plugin directory |
hey I have the same problem, I am running Mandrake 10

Alright! I'm almost there. I downloaded and installed the SDK RPM and Mozilla picked up on it - it showed a long list of java stuff under Help -> Plugins. I have to use a hard link instead of a soft link or it says that there's too many levels of symbolic links, but I'm thinking that's not too much of a problem (but that's just a guess).
Here's the situation now though - whenever a java application opens, it crashes. Every Mozilla browser that's open ... closes. I've heard of this sort of thing before so I'm gonna search around, but I thought I'd post here in case I never found anything :) Thanks! |
I found an answer... go here :http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4548

Did that whole thing ... Mozilla still bails when an application starts :(

i already downloaded the file j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586-rpm.bin
whats next, how can i run the file ??? Now, from a console, you need to run this file like so: sh j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin. Read the license and agree to it. After you accept the license, it will extract the RPM. (If you got the SDK, substitute the filename where appropriate.) |
Finished! It works great.
To anyone who needs a solution to this problem, install SDK. It just worked. JRE has issues. Thanks to everyone that helped! Eternal gratutide to you! :D Max |
