Description Brian Daniels 2010-05-23 23:46:29 UTC

Description of problem:

On a standard install of Fedora 13 Beta 64bit, java applications do not work in FireFox.  In /etc/alternatives there is a broken symlink to the plugin:

/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so

which does not exist.


Recreating the symlink as follows corrects the problem:
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so libjavaplugin.so.x86_64


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 13 Beta

Comment 1 Brian Daniels 2010-06-07 13:50:58 UTC

I installed another system from F13 release, and it did not have this issue.  My beta system was using 1:1.6.0.0-38.b18.fc13 from the updates-testing repo for some reason.  Removing java-1.6.0-openjdk and then reinstalling from the release repo corrected the problem.  The symlink points to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so which is present.

after running:  alternatives --remove libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so

the symlink then correctly points to: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

the postinstall scriptlet for the plugin isn't removing the correct old path.

Thanks, that helped me fixing the problem :-)
