1 When trying to access a webpage that uses java applets, I found that the
2 applets wouldn't load for me any more.
3
4 I'm running:
5
6 equery -q l '*tea*'
7 dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.5
8 dev-java/icedtea-sound-1.0.1
9 dev-java/icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1
10
11 eselect java-vm list
12 Available Java Virtual Machines:
13 [1] icedtea-bin-7 system-vm
14
15 firefox -v
16 Mozilla Firefox 31.7.0
17
18
19 The plugincheck URL shown below is showing my IcedTea-Web Plugin as unknown.
20 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
21
22 I ran firefox in the debuging mode as suggested on the IcedTea-Web website:
23 http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web
24
25 ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox 2>&1 | tee plugin.log
26
27 Here's what it says:
28
29 Your custom jre (/bin/java check) /etc/java-config-2/current-icedtea-web-vm
30 is not valid. Please fix deployment.jre.dir in your deployment.properties.
31 In attempt to run using default one.
32 Failed to spawn applet viewer Failed to execute child process
33 "/opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3/jre/bin/java" (No such file or directory)
34 plugin_test_appletviewer return
35 Your custom jre (/bin/java check) /etc/java-config-2/current-icedtea-web-vm
36 is not valid. Please fix deployment.jre.dir in your deployment.properties.
37 In attempt to run using default one.
38 Unable to find java executable /opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3/jre/bin/java
39
40 Not sure why the path to java above is for 'icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3'.
41
42 In stead of:
43 ls -l /opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.5/jre/bin/java
44 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9540 Jun 14 08:21
45 /opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.5/jre/bin/java
46
47 Has anyone else experienced this?
48
49 Thanks.
