Description Ivo Sarak 2007-11-10 14:49:26 UTC

Description of problem:
The firefox about:plugins list as Java being supported and even the SUN Java
detection state it, but no Java Applet does actually work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[ivo@sarmax ~]$ rpm -qa|grep java
ant-javamail-1.7.0-1jpp.2.fc8
java-1.7.0-icedtea-demo-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8
java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8
tzdata-java-2007i-1.fc8
eclipse-mylyn-java-2.0.0-9.fc8
java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8
java-1.5.0-gcj-devel-1.5.0.0-17.fc8
java-1.7.0-icedtea-javadoc-1.7.0.0-0.19.b21.snapshot.fc8
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-17.fc8
java_cup-0.10-0.k.6jpp.1
gcc-java-4.1.2-33
[ivo@sarmax ~]$ 

[ivo@sarmax ~]$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-2.0.0.8-2.fc8
[ivo@sarmax ~]$

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up Firefox and head to
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
2. Fire up another instance of firefox and head to
http://www.crystalsquid.com/games/ts/ts_play.php

  
Actual results:
SUN Java detection will state that everything is OK with the Java, but test game
will do nothing.

Expected results:
Java Applet working.

Comment 1 Andre Robatino 2007-11-10 20:47:12 UTC

  The puzzle applet at www.jigzone.com never finishes loading.  That particular
applet involves sound (when the pieces snap together) and works properly with
Sun's JRE.  I know sound is supposed to be broken with IcedTea, but would think
the applet should be able to work without sound.  However, some applets at Java
test sites do work, so I know that the IcedTea applet is enabled and working
(sort of, anyway).  My box is 32-bit.

Neither for the 1.6 plugin. Stopped working at some point. I WAS using it to
connect to the web based VPN at work. Can no longer work from home :(

Comment 4 pigetak178 2007-11-14 02:36:27 UTC

This is a work around:

For sun-java6-bin:
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

or whatever JRE you are using, use the appropriate directory for xawt/libmawt.so

Applets now work for me in ff 2.0.0.9
