Java, azureus, firefox, suse 10.2 ....

For whole morning i was trying to install java properly so i could run azureus and had that bloody plugin working in firefox....
still no luck.

ver wich my suse came with was too old for azureus to install. so decided to download one from java.com - jre-1_5_0_10-linux-amd64-rpm.bin <--- first, (coz im on amd64 but with 32bit support installed) --> nothing works

then i've noticed that it sais there that linux64 users should intall 32bit ver. so uninstalled 64 and downloaded i586 instead. --> still nothing...

uninstalled it all again and added repo to my yast setup :

ftp.pbone.net/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java/

after installing java from this konqueror said that Im using an older ver of java tech (1.5.03) and that the newer is available but still no luck with firefox... even tho that i've tried to symlink it with /firefox/plugins/ cos i've found some /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
, there was two ver. ns7 and ns7-gcc299 (as far as i can remember-->definetly lower than 3)

i've managed to install azureus via yast with repo:
packman.iu-bremen.de .... but still couldnt start it and found in /tmp/azureus.log:

Code:

wrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

any ideas how to make it all work ??

i've got 64bit 10.2 and all installed and working

What I think your problem is, is that FF by default has the 32 bit installed. Make sure Java, Azureus and FF are all 64 bit.

To get Flash and Adobe to work with 64bit FF you'll need nspluginwrapper - both rpm's (in Packman the 2nd is Id'ed as a 586 rpm). This is because there are no 64bit versions.

I don't use the Azureus rpm, I found I had better luck dl'ing the tar ball and placing it in /opt and executing the included script - but you could have better luck.

Thanks a lot,
got FF 64bit instaled - working fine :] but im having hard times with packman repo in yast... it seems like thers no such as directory like : packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/x86_64/ .... i got it added but not as x86_64...
looks like: packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/ .........

then i looked at http://packman.links2linux.org/ and only rpm with "wrapper" in its name was OCF-pcsc-wrapper-1.2-0.pm.1.noarch.rpm ... :/

can u help me a bit more and link to it pls ?

cheers

My bad they're in the Mozilla repository http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...openSUSE_10.2/

I'm using Smart and the repo is http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.2 Yast can now use Yum repositories, see http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_Ya...tories#Packman

still no luck...
when adding to my repo http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.2 --- got error: invalid path name component /suse/10.2

tried to browse it and add http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.2/x86_64/ but gettin other error: unknown source type.

pls someone post repo that can get me 64bit java

i've tried to install it from sources : jre-1_5_0_10-linux-amd64.rpm
but then it sais that : jre-1.5.0_10-fcs is already installed...
and when i do:
update-alternatives --config java -----> i get:
No alternatives for java.

..... sad

try "rpm -U --force jre-1_5_0_10-linux-amd64.rpm", since java 1.5.0 is already installed you either need to uninstall it first or force the install/update with the "--force" option.

done that - and still:

update-alternatives --config java
No alternatives for java.

:((

PS,
shall i mention that at some point yesterday i also tried to install jre-6-linux-amd64-rpm.bin ?? but guess that with --force option it shouldnt be any difference.

you could try uninstalling the existing java rpm using the "--nodeps" option "rpm -e --nodeps jre-1.5.0-fcs"

and then trying to install the 64 bit

still nothing...
when i gave it: rpm -e --nodeps jre-1.5.0-fcs it gave me en error that theres no such a package installed on that system so i again tried install rpm with --force option - no errors returned -->
update-alternatives --config java
No alternatives for java.

im gonna cry shortly ....

any ideas ?? still havnt found any solution...

if "rpm -e --nodeps jre-1.5.0-fcs" didn't work then for what ever reason your java rpm is named differently and you'll to discover what it is. This might be the name from the Sun repository and not Suse, your's might be java-1.5.0-sun. So try "rpm -e java-1.50-sun"

If not then run "rpm -qa|grep java" and "rpm -qa|grep jre"
these 2 cmds will build a list of rpms installed and then display only those with java or jre in the name.

Yast or Smart should also be able to provide the actual rpm name.
