I have blackdown java installed but it does not show up in eselect. Why is that? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
When I start firefox-bin & goto about:plugins it says "no plugins |
| 11 |
installed", despite this symlink: |
| 12 |
/usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/javaplugin.so -> |
| 13 |
/usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/emul-linux-x86-java-1.6-javaplugin.so |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
When I use 64 bit firefox with the sun jdk it comes up and 'sort of' |
| 16 |
works, sort of doesn't. In general |
| 17 |
I hate it because its flaky, & consistently fails on 1 big applet. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I was previously using the blackdown plugin, however if I manually |
| 20 |
create the symlink, firefox will not start up, it Segmentation |
| 21 |
fault's. This is the symlink I setup: |
| 22 |
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/javaplugin.so -> |
| 23 |
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 24 |
I also tried pointing it to |
| 25 |
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so |
| 26 |
which also causes a Segmentation fault. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I dont care whether I use 32 or 64 bit firefox, I just want java to |
| 29 |
work reliably. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Googling, a lot of people are getting Segmentation faults, with the |
| 32 |
suggestion "use blackdown". However even mozilla's plugin page does |
| 33 |
not give the symlinks to use. |

This page http://fedora64.org/desktop-64-posts/java-x86_64/ |
| 36 |
says to make the source libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 37 |
If I use that or javaplugin_oji.so firefox starts but about:plugins |
| 38 |
shows no plugins installed. |
| 39 |

My googling isn't turning up much helpful, I suspect I just don't know |
| 41 |
enough to provide good keywords. |
