Description of problem: Java Applets won't start in epiphany. No error messages or other hints to the problem except for the following console output: ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Shutdown ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (epiphany:16355): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): epiphany 3.0.3 1.fc15 icedtea-web 1.0.5 1.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit some wepage containing applets (e.g. http://www.javatester.org/version.html ) Actual results: Neither the applet, nor an error message or a "missing plugin" notification is shown Expected results: The Java Applet should start Additional info: The icetea plugin works, as the applets work just fine when using firefox. The plugin path seems to be correct too, as gnash works in epiphany from the mozilla plugin directory (/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins)
Confirming, I just did a fresh install of F16 and Epiphany doesn't work with your URL, but Firefox does.
Peter works on epiphany now.
Still happens in F17 with Epiphany/Web 3.4.0.1 .
The problem is in the GTK+ version mismatch. Epiphany is linked against GTK+ 3.x and the IcedTeaPlugin uses GTK+ of version 2.x. The ideal solution could be following: to have both, epiphany and IcedTeaPlugin linked against the same version of GTK+. But there are browsers using GTK+ 2.x and 3.x. So this issue can be easily resolved by using nspluginwrapper. As normal user run: rm $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -v -n -a -i Then you will have wrapped plugins in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ and epiphany is then able to use IcedTeaPlugin.
I have icedtea-web and nspluginwrapper installed, did the steps in Commennt 4, that put npwrapper.libjavaplugin.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (among others). But still no Java. Tested with the test cases in http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web-Tests . F17 with Epiphany/Web 3.4.1 .
Opened most of the pages, you suggested (icedtea wiki) and the Java applets work. nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-9.fc17.x86_64 icedtea-web-1.2-2.fc17.x86_64 epiphany-3.4.1-2.fc17.x86_64 I wrapped the plugins, as said before.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
