Firefox does not give the error message but applets stay mute: none really work, just white square in the browser.īringing back the IcedTea 1.7 JRE 32 bit restore the initial situation: java applets work in Konqueror but in Firefox one gets the same error message.Īnyone can help? These X86_64 java plug-in problems are there since at least Suse 10.3 it's time to fix them. I want to add java plugin for FireFox (v10.0.12) on Linux(Centos 5.6 64bit). Replacing by installation the IcedTea 1.7 JRE 32 bit with its X86_64 version has a strange effect:ī. That is why the X86_64 verion of the plug-in looked for an appletviewer in /usr/lib64 directory Looking at the way Yast installed various packages I find that IcedTea 1.7 JRE is 32 bit version while the Java plug-in package is X86_64.

Anyhow, on any applet a pop-up message displays the error message: I installed IcedTea rpm's 1.7 as indicated on Mozilla site and java plug-in is recognized in about lugins page. Fedora 10 already has the Sun JRE (Java Runtime Environment) JRE 1.6.007 packed in the box.

The java plug-in does not work as it did not in the X86_64 architecture in 10.3. The basic idea behind making any plugin work on a Mozilla based browser is to have the plugin symbolically linked to the plugins directory of Mozilla or Firefox. I just updates to Suse 11.0 X86_64 and use Firefox 3.0.
