[Bug 1308783] Re: chromium-browser: No Java Pepper Plugin available
I am not an expert, but somehow I got Java working in Chromium on one of my Ubuntu computers. All my software is updated to current versions. If someone wants to guide me through a process of discovery, I can find out how I got it to work. I would like to know what I did, as I need to install Java on newer machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308783 Title: chromium-browser: No Java Pepper Plugin available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1308783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Chromium are open source so it could potentially be modified. Currently my brightest idea are to use DLL injection and override the entire engine component with something similar to Chrome Frame. If we simply run another browser engine, such as a modified Chromium engine with NPAPI-support, that might work. Or an engine that do not require any hacking such as Qt WebKit which supports NPAPI plugins out of the box. Another option would be to make a completely Chrome-compatible browser out of Chromium, which are what the Qt WebEngine are all about. Such a browser could be entirely FOSS and shipped with Linux distributions. A mayor problem would be the Flash plugin which may require that Chrome are also installed. As a system admin I would like to avoid installing Chrome in such a scenario, or at least hide it well.

[Bug 1308783] [NEW] java plugin does not work on chromium
Public bug reported: I was using google chrome browser on Ubuntu 12.04 machine, recently I needed to switch to chromium-browser. I am using the version that is available on the Ubuntu software centre. The problem is that I can't make java applets to load any more. Here is my situation -- 1. I am using vanilla jdk (jdk 1.7.0_51) from the oracle site. 2. Previously in chrome, I have created a symlink of `libnpjp2.so` to the `/opt/google/chrome/plugins` folder, java applets were working fine. 3. After uninstalling chrome and installing chromium-browser, I made a symlink of `libnpjp2.so` to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins` folder, but java applets do not fire up any more (even from this site: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) 4. Even `libnpjp2.so` appears in `about:plugins` in chromium-browser and showing it's enabled. What I have tried so far -- 1. After uninstalling chrome, the `/opt/google/chrome` was still there, I removed it 2. Made the symlink as the point 3 above to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins`, but no luck. 3. So, I installed `icedtea-7-plugins` from the Ubuntu repo and made a symlink of `IcedTeaPlugin.so` to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins`, but no luck, so I removed it. 4. Even added the java applet test page to the exclusion list in the java control panel. 5. Even cleared temporary internet files from the java control panel. 6. Did multiple cycles of enable/disable java plugins in chromium-browser. 7. Firing up the chromium-browser with `-enable-plugins` switch did not work. When I go to the java applet test page, what I can only see is a grey rectangle, nothing else. Please note, everything was working fine on chrome browser and also in firefox. Please also note that I do not want to install openjdk stuffs. any idea ? lsb_release -rd: Description:Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release:12.04 chromium-browser: Installed: 33.0.1750.152-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg879.1 Candidate: 33.0.1750.152-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg879.1 Version table: *** 33.0.1750.152-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg879.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308783 Title: java plugin does not work on chromium To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1308783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
