[Lubuntu-desktop] Java/IcedTea not working in Chromium
I'm using Lubuntu 10.04 on my netbook, an Acer Aspire 110 with 512 megs of RAM, and it's generally a pleasure. I have one problem, though - the Java plugin seems not to be working in Chromium. I want to play Runescape, the MMORPG at www.runescape.com. What I'm getting is basically a blank (rather, black, the HTML background) page where the Java applet should be. I installed Java and the plugin by installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package which pulled the openjdk and icedtea versions of Java and plugin. This works FINE in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04 on my other computer. Anybody knows what's wrong or how to put it right? :-) Is there a problem with Java and Chromium? Maybe not, though - epiphany seems to give the same result (I won't install Firefox). br Carsten ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Chances are that it wasn't installed properly though (check update-alternatives --display mozilla-javaplugin.so, and that the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so link isn't broken). -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

try: cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins; sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so Should be ok. Personally I use the .bin file from www.java.com as all the systems I'd need java on are 64bit. I then symlink the libnpjp2.so to the plugins folder and it works. Java and flash n Ubuntu all run at 32bit via a 64bit wrapper which I think is horribly convoluted and ungraceful despite there being 64bit native plugins available.

Not sure, I dont install flash or java using the repos nowadays. Let us know how you get on On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 12:18 PM, Carsten Agger ag...@c.dk wrote: søn, 06 06 2010 kl. 11:56 +0100, skrev Steve: Maybe install another JVM? But this is supposed to work fine, I should think? It should work fine but, I’ve never got it to work. I always install sun-java6-plugin Thanks, will try that. As I said, the funny thing is that this works fine in Ubuntu Desktop 10.04, with Firefox. This might mean it's due to some bug/missing dependency in Lubuntu packaging? And, maybe it would be nice with a lubuntu-restricted-extras package with things that work (like Sun Java instead of Iced Tea) and possibly more lightweight selections in some cases? (I know, wishing out loud instead of doing something about it myself. Alas, I like using Lubuntu but don't have time to contribute to development at this time.) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Java/IcedTea not working in Chromium
Hmm, at any rate it seems sun-java6-plugin is no longer in the repositories for lucid :-( You have to enable the partner repository Thanks! Chromium and Java works just fine with Sun's Java. It would be much nicer if it would work with icedtea and openjdk, of course. Hope the bug in chromium will be fixed (the xulrunner workaround in the bug Julien linked to didn't work for me). ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
