Try the following as root: yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin mozilla-plugin-config Then restart your web browser. This worked for me. Obviously, the plugin package should be modified to run mozilla-plugin-config... *** Bug 384641 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Running "mozilla-plugin-config" fixed my problem but we should keep this bug open until the plugin package is fixed. Please post /root/install.log. I don't have /root/install.log # ls /root/ anaconda-ks.cfg So only 'anaconda-ks.cfg' file is available but no 'install.log' Hi,
I just tried
yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin
mozilla-plugin-config
and then restarting my browser.
That didn't help me get java to work on either firefox or netscape.
By the way, my google toolbar still doesn't work for netscape.
I tried to install a recent update package for firefox and it wouldn't install.
I wonder if the reason it won't install is part of my problem?
This is the info about the update that won't work:
FEDORA-2007-2943
Type bugfix
Status stable
Issued 2007-11-15 03:34:11
Updated
I get the following error message:
Missing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.8.1.8 is needed by package yelp
Anyway, I'm still unable to use java on any browser in FC8 on my machine.
Created attachment 260571 [details]
someone asked for /root/install.log
By the way, if anyone else wants to do this, they might need to run netscape
navigator as root. I couldn't send this as my usual screen name, as usual,
which is why I see no reason for non-root accounts, which is a whole other
issue.
I feel like bug 384641 was not a duplicate of this bug. In my case running 'mozilla-plugin-config' fixed the problem. Should bug 384641 be reopened as a separate bug? Yeah, runing moxilla-plugin-config did not help my problem at all. By the way, the updater finally worked, but I still have all the same problems with java and the google toolbar's bookmarks not working.

I reopened bug 384641 I have tested this on a clean F8-final install on x86_64. - java-1.7.0-icedtea.x86_64 is installed by default - java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin.x86_64 is installed by default - firefox.x86_64 and firefox.i386 are both installed by default - running firefox.x86_64 -> about:plugins shows the gcjwebplugin installed - testing various Java applets works as expected I did not run any updates etc or /usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config. The IcedTea browser plugin worked out of the box. Can you give me detailed steps to reproduce the problem you are seeing? Were you attempting to install Sun's Java plugin? I tested this with the F8-Live installation. This is only a problem when F8 is installed Live on x86_64. By default, the plugin is only linked to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins, whereas it should be linked in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped as well. This is why running mozilla-plugin-config fixes the problem. I will fix this in rawhide. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 334311 *** |
