HI Dmitri, |
| 18 |
That's essentially where I thought I was when I started this |
| 19 |
thread. Mainly I use firefox-bin, currently version 2.0.0.6. Flash |
| 20 |
seems to work fine. Yahoo Video as a test site, other places also. |
| 21 |
Everything seems OK. good so far. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As per what I think I've pieced together from this thread and the |
| 24 |
forum link Bjorn point me toward I've done the following: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) Unmasked the nsplugin flag for sun-jdk. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
lightning ~ # cat /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask |
| 29 |
dev-java/sun-jdk -nsplugin |
| 30 |
lightning ~ # |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
2) Unmasked sun-jdk |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
lightning ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords | grep sun |
| 35 |
dev-java/sun-jdk ~amd64 |
| 36 |
lightning ~ # |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
3) Built sun-jdk with nsplugin support: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
lightning ~ # emerge -pv sun-jdk |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 45 |

4) Set the java-vm both system wide and for my user account to be |
| 52 |
sun-jdk-1.6.0.02: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
lightning ~ # java-config -L |
| 55 |
The following VMs are available for generation-2: |
| 56 |
1) Sun 32bit JRE 1.6.0.02 [emul-linux-x86-java-1.6] |
| 57 |
2) Sun JDK 1.5.0.12 [sun-jdk-1.5] |
| 58 |
*) Sun JDK 1.6.0.02 [sun-jdk-1.6] |
| 59 |
4) Sun JRE 1.6.0.02 [sun-jre-bin-1.6] |
| 60 |
lightning ~ # |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
mark@lightning ~ $ java-config -L |

5) Attempted to choose the correct nsplugin but nothing is there for |
| 71 |
either root or my account: |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
lightning ~ # eselect java-nsplugin list |
| 74 |
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins |
| 75 |
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins |
| 76 |
lightning ~ # |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
mark@lightning ~ $ eselect java-nsplugin list |
| 79 |
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins |
| 80 |
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins |
| 81 |
mark@lightning ~ $ |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
It seems I'm sort of stuck at this last step. |
| 84 |

Thanks, |
