It seems that "auto" has been disabled on the symlinks if the update- java-alternatives has been used.
So to for the update-alternatives to work, auto first has to be set on the plugins: update-alternatives --auto xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so update-alternatives --auto xulrunner-javaplugin.so update-alternatives --auto firefox-javaplugin.so update-alternatives --auto mozilla-javaplugin.so sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.4/plugins/libjavaplugin.so xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/xulrunner/libjavaplugin.so xulrunner-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so firefox-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 100 But all this should really be done in the deb, why still ship a broken plugin when there is a working alternative? -- The old plugin hangs firefox 3 when loading java applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
