I can confirm it (with sun-java6-plugin), and to let my firefox recognize the java plugin I had to do manually this link: sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
-- javaplugin alternatives are installed incorrectly leading to errors from update-java-alternatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226911 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in Source Package "openjdk-6" in Ubuntu: New Status in Source Package "sun-java5" in Ubuntu: New Status in Source Package "sun-java6" in Ubuntu: New Bug description: sun-java6-{bin,demo,jdk,jre,plugin,source} 6-06-0ubuntu1 The postinst script installs an alternative called "xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so" but the jinfo file contains the name "xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so". The mismatch prevents update-java-alternatives from working properly - for example, try "update-java-alternatives --plugin --set java-6-sun" and it reports "No alternatives for xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so." I believe all of the above is also a problem for the sun-java5-* packages. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editemails More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
