Description David Juran 2011-06-16 14:38:48 UTC

The OpenJDK java plugin doesn't work with the iLO2 virtual console commonly present on HP servers. All I get is a grey window with a text in the bar "Start: applet not initialized"

Worth mentioning is that iLO3 virtual console works fine

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.39.1.9.8.el6_1.i686
iLO2 firmware version 2.05   12/16/2010

How reproducible:
Every time

debug output from firefox

Comment 3 Deepak Bhole 2011-06-16 16:14:23 UTC
Can you please also attach the ~/.icedtea/log/java.std* files that result from running with ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true ?

java.stderr

java.stdout is an empty file

Comment 5 Deepak Bhole 2011-06-17 13:29:05 UTC
Would it be possible for me to access the iLO2 console by any chance?

Comment 6 David Juran 2011-06-20 08:51:22 UTC
As discussed with Deepak, I've tried with F15 (firefox-4.0.1-2.f15, icedtea-web-1.0.3-1 and java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-58.1.10.2) and the remote console works fine.

Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:56:52 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 13 Martin Stransky 2012-08-01 14:02:57 UTC
Can you test with latest firefox? (10.0.6).

Comment 14 David Juran 2012-08-14 10:11:28 UTC
With latest firefox on RHEL6 (firefox-10.0.6-1.el6.3, icedtea-web-1.2.1-1.el6_3 and java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2), the error looks different, but it still doesn't work.
Attaching java.std{err,out}

From a windows-machine on the same network, with internet explorer and java-6 (Oracle verision) it works fine.

Comment 16 Martin Stransky 2012-08-14 14:53:38 UTC
Looks like a Java issue to me.

Comment 18 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:22:26 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Should be fixed already, but re-assigning to Jiri to keep track.

Hi! can you please allow me acces to some of this machines? I will double check with current and future versions of firefox/icedtea-web

Unfortunately I don't have access to this hardware any more.
