Description of problem: Since the recent yum update of openjdk I've been getting errors when accessing certain web pages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-38.b18.fc12.x86_64 epiphany-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. start epiphany or midori 2. navigate to gmail.com (don't need to be logged in) Actual results: A popup error message that says, "icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/../../bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window." Expected results: No error. Additional info: Visiting the same site in Firefox does not prompt the same error.
Running epiphany from the cmd line shows this bit of extra info when navigating to gmail.com $ epiphany ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:6263): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded /builddir/build/BUILD/icedtea6-1.8/plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc:1508: thread 0x9c00b0: Error: Failed to spawn applet viewer: Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/../../bin/java" (No such file or directory)
Same problem on 32 bit. The following dialogue appears when starting epiphany since some time in the last week: "icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/../../bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window."
In, IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc, at line 2146, the line appletviewer_executable = g_strdup_printf ("%s/../../bin/java", dirname (filename)); Filename is earlier got around 2127 (or later 2143) from a line like this: filename_size = readlink(info.dli_fname, filename, 1023); I might poke around to see when this became a problem for Epiphany.
This is happening in firefox on F-13 as well: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-38.b18.fc13.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-38.b18.fc13.x86_64
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This isn't affecting me on F13. java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-43.1.8.2.fc13.x86_64 epiphany-2.30.2-1.fc13.x86_64 So I'll let this bug expire and consider it fixed in current release.
