Javaws hangs & does nothing (Fedora Core 3)

The title pretty much says it: if I either run a JNLP from within Firefox, or run javaws from the command line, I just get nothing. This makes it a little hard to debug :(
here's what ps shows, if I type ./javaws from the shell:
(user) 5450 4944 84 13:13 pts/1 00:00:09 /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre/javaws/javawsbin
(user) 5454 5450 2 13:13 pts/1 00:00:00 [java] <defunct>
I have J2SE 1.4.2.
clues?

Any help is welcome.

I also have installed Fedora but Core 2. When booting I also have the 'smartd' that gives a fail. But it boots fine. I only need the drivers for my network card to get surfing.
At work we have 2 unix/linux specialist I will ask them whet the smartd is.

File locking does not work in Fedora core 2

I am using jdk 1.4.2_07 on Fedora core 2. I need to detect file locks obtained by other programs on the same system. However I can not detect locks held by other programs even when they are exclusive write locks. Any help is appreciated. I am using java.nio.channels tryLock method.
Thanks,

Hi jbroughton,
There are few things that I need to know in order to investigate why your file is no longer being recognised:
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
What is your kernal version of federa four?
Is your application a built executable?
What is your librarying doing currently when you try to call it? If any error popups what are the error codes and messages you are getting?
Can you call your C library outside of LabVIEW?
Thanks

Eclipse ANT hangs and does nothing!

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a project that I know works (I just built it on Windows) and strangely it will not build.
Here is what happens:
I go to Ant -> Build, then it looks like it's trying to build something, the little red terminate button comes up on the console, but the console does NOTHING.
I've tried the repo version of eclipse, a fresh download from the site, different JDKs, different versions of ANT, tried ant -diagnostics, tried allocating more memory to eclipse, and still nothing. It hangs on every version and produces no output.
Ant and everything else work correctly -- I just checked and I can build from the command line.
Anyone have similar issues or ideas of what could be wrong?
Thank you,
Harold

read Moan Guide and provide full system specification including PSU details(look for them over PSU sticker).
have you Clear CMOS Guide? if not do it(remove power cord from PSU before proceed).
is it working with your old CPU? ensure CPU is mounted well.

Reinstallation of oracle 10g on Fedora Core 2

Dear Oracle community,
I tried to install Oracle database 10g software (Enterprise-edition) on
my PC (Fedora Core 2) in two steps. At first the software only
(as described in
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php)
and then (using dcba) the example data base "sales".
The first step was succesfully. The second step has led to a "freeze" of
my computer. Input became impossible - so after running about 30 minutes
(100% CPU usage) I stopped my computer switching the power off.
Now I deleted the whole installation of Oracle manually as far as
possible (as far as I know/found the changes). Afterwards I tried to
reinstall the software. This was now impossible - the same "freezing"
effect happened now already in the first step. What are the reasons
for that? Can you help me to solve the problem?
I fear that some configuration files might be now corrupted and I have to
reinstall Fedora2 to be sure that nothing else is damaged.
Up to now I was only a user of a Oracle data base - it is the first time
that I try to install Oracle.
I have read the forum stuff about installation of 10g on Fedora Core 2
but do not find remarks for my problem.
Here are further details which could be important:
My PC has 2 processors and 2GB RAM and 2GB swap space.
The PC is located in a small Intranet and gets its IP-address by DHCP.
LINUX is installed (Fedora 2, kernel 2.6.5-1.358smp), as well as
a Web-server (httpd-2.0.51-2.7.rpm),
Java (j2sdk-1.4.2_05-fcs.rpm) and
tomcat (jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30-LE-jdk14.tar.gz)
(perhaps there is some disturbing interaction between installed
Java-version and the Java-Version supplied by the Oracle software?)
I followed the instructions in the installation description given in the
above mentioned web site but with some minor changes:
- /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 obox local_host.local_domain
192.168.2.3 oracle.home obox
- instead to create a directory in which the Oracle software will be
installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1
chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
I created the following:
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/10.10
chown -R oracle.oinstall /opt/oracle
- The .bash_profile of the oracle user I modified a little bit:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/oracle/tmp
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/oradata #
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/10.1.0
ORACLE_SID=Test1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
# after installation I've seen that I forgot a colon between /lib and
# /usr/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH - perhaps this is a reason for hanging
# of the computer installing the example database "sales"?
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
# after software installation I did not found $ORACLE_HOME/JRE but
# $ORACLE_HOME/jre - and I changed the CLASSPATH
- the following part I transfered to /etc/profile
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi
- In a first step I installed only the Oracle Software without any
problems (but with the error in the definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
CLASSPATH respectively)
- I performed the post installation steps except that I did not change
the content of /etc/oratab because I did not want to start Oracle
automatically starting the computer
- Then I started the dbca to create the data base "sales". I could enter
all wanted parameters (I named the data base "test1" to be conform
with ORACLE_SID . Then dcba started the creation of the data base
but did not end (hanging)
- I looked for possible errors, corrected the definition of CLASSPATH
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH respectively and wanted to reinstall Oracle
- I applied the following commands to delete all (???) data files
created in the installation process
rm /etc/oratab
rm /etc/oraInst.loc
rm -R /etc/oracle
rm /usr/local/bin/oraenv
rm /usr/local/bin/coraenv
rm /usr/local/bin/dbhome
rm -R /opt/oracle/10.1.0/*
rm -R /opt/oracle/oraInventory
rm -R /oracle/tmp/*
rm -R /oracle/oradata/*
- now (after restart of the PC) I wanted to install the Oracle software
anew. After specifying ORACLE_HOME and running a script as root the
OUI started to load and unzip files from the installation directory
Disk1 and runs in an endless loop (about 66% of the work was done).
- After restart of my PC I made a second trial and already after the
input of the first parameter the OUI runs in an endless loop
- the endless loop: 2 java instances were running using 100% CPU
and input by keyboard was not accepted.
Many thanks in advance
Klaus!

Hi Klaus,
Have you had any luck in resolving this problem. It sounds like the exact same problem I am having

How to Install SJAS on a Fedora Core 4 box

I've had my share of headaches making SJAS work well on an FC4 box, and as there was no good "how-to" on the install, I've compiled the following from trial and error. Hope this is of some use:
Installing Sun Java App Server on FC4:
1) First, start with a Fedora Core 4 box, running with at least 1GB of RAM. This is the minimum recommended configuration for Sun Java Application server, and its associated programs. Load balancing uses a lot more resources (minimum recommended config is 2GB RAM) but on a stand-alone box, 1GB will do. Ensure you've got disk space and connectivity to the net, especially DNS.
2) Copy over the following files to the box. You'll need all of these for the install:
o compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.fc4.i386.rpm - compatibility library needed for FC4, or else the install will crash but won't tell you about it.
o compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm - another compatibility library needed
o jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm - the JDK as the Java Application server needs Java to run.
o java_es_05Q4_msgserver-ga-linux-x86.zip � appx 340MB, and is the download which installs SJAS, the web server with load balancer plugin, the directory server, etc.
3) Do an rpm -iv on the compat-libstdc* compat libraries.
4) Do an rpm -iv on the jdk.
5) Link the java executibles to /usr/bin by typing "ln -sf /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/bin/* /usr/java". If you installed a different version of the JDK, put in that version instead of 1.5.0.02.
6) Edit your /etc/hosts file. By default, the FC4 install maps your hostname of your box onto localhost / 127.0.0.1. Take this hostname off of 127.0.0.1 so that the only name mapped to 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Then, on the IP address you plan on installing SJAS onto, map the hostname and the fully-qualified domain name to that address. An example /etc/hosts/ file that has worked is:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.99.203 iloapp01.scientology.net iloapp01
7) Unzip the java_es_05Q4_msgserver-ga-linux-x86.zip file into a directory using the "unzip" command.
8) Go into the java_es_05Q4/Linux_x86 directory just created, and run ./installer
9) This will then pop up a graphical installer, if you are running this directly on the server. If running via a console, type ./installer -nodisplay which will pop up the installer in text mode.
10) Click through the installer until you get to the packages list. Install all of the packages, unless there is a specific reason � for the server you're working with � that you don't want one or another of the packages.
11) When it asks you if you want to configure now or configure later, click configure now.
12) Page through all of the proceeding pages of questions, entering master passwords when it asks you to. If it hangs on the first screen, asking for a valid IP address and/or hostname, you either (a) didn't specifiy a valid address which is configured on that box, or (b) you messed up on the /etc/hosts file config above. All you want in the "hostname" field is the server name (i.e. "iloapp01") and all you want in the domain name field is the base domain (i.e. "scientology.net"). That will work.
13) Finish the install wizard and let it exit gracefully.
14) After it finishes the install, you should be able to start each of the services on the box without issue.
o You need the Sun Directory Server for authentication. To start the directory server, run /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver start, which should work without a hitch. Check if it's working and on by doing a ps -ef | grep slapd and see if the slapd process is running (the LDAP server, needed for authentication).
o Test-start the admin console by running /opt/sun/sbin/mpsadmserver start. This should hang for a little while (unless you have a preposterously fast machine) and then report that it's started. If it didn't work, it will tell you "it hasn't been configured" or some such.
o Start the app server by going to /opt/sun/appserver/bin and typing asadmin start-appserv --user admin. You should then be able to start the admin server after typing the master password.
If this all works, you have a Sun Java Application Server installed, as well as the Directory Server to support it and allow for authentication. For more details on what do do from here, see the Getting SJAS Enterprise Edition to work on an Application Server page.

Installation notes: JES 2005Q4 on Fedora Core 4

Hi,
Getting JES (with Portal Server 6) to work on a Linux platform (that's unsupported by SUN) can be a nightmare. Here's what to do with Fedora Core 4:
1. You need to install compat-libstdc++-296.i386 rpm package. This provides /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 that the application server needs.
If you don't have that package installed, install with yum:
yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i386
Note: I used...
yum provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
... to find out the package.
Actually I installed compat-libstdc++-33.i386 as well, but I'm not sure did that affect anything.
2. Install pdksh
There are many ksh clones available. Fedora Core 4 ships with some version of ksh that lacks features used by PS6 install scripts. You have to get pdksh from http://www.math.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/
Configure and install it according to the instructions. Then get rid of the ksh that came with FC4 and make sure /bin/ksh points to /usr/local/bin/ksh (if you installed pdksh to the default location).
3. Run the JES installer and everything should work out fine. The installation process meter still seems to hang when installing portal server but actually it is working hard for several minutes. You can verify that by using top.
More details on the problems that occur if you don't follow these steps (should help for other distros than FC4):
The installation process hangs when it gets to install portal server (verify with top that it isn't actually doing anything). This is because you don't have the right ksh. Using ps -aef you'll see that there are processes running ksh.
The actual problem is that the PS6 installation script is defining variables with the keyword 'local' that's not supported with ksh shipped with FC4. If you try to run the portal configuration script manually you get lines like:
opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[21]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[22]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
opt/sun/portal/lib/postinstall_Base[23]: local : not found [ no such file or directory]
The JES installation program will not recover from this. So get pdksh!
If you don't have libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 the installation seems to work fine, but it will fail on deploying anything on the appserver (it won't be able to start the domain). This was the really ridiculous thing about the installer because it reported no errors even though it was failing to install anything on the appserver!
Hope this helps someone. Took me nearly two days to figure out.

Instead of downloading the source code for Korn Shell and going thru the manual compilation and configuration go to http://rpm.pbone.net and perform an advanced search for ksh for Red Hat 9.
You will find : pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
Here's the url for a mirror site:
ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386/pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
Download the rpm.
Remove the existing pdksh by :# rpm -e pdksh
Install the ksh of choice: rpm -ivh pdksh-5.2.14-21.i386.rpm
I was able to install JES 2005 Q4 on Fedora core 5.
Good Luck

After Effects Hangs on Initializing Media Core and Only Uses .40 GB or RAM

I actually have either 2 separate issues or one that effects both. The fist one is that once After Effects loads, I generally can't RAM preview for 1080p quality, and about 6-20 frames for 720p, depending on if I get lucky or not. I went into Memory and Multiprocessing in the preference and no matter what I set the RAM per CPU to, the Actual CPUs that will be used is always 0, so then I go to details and it says "Installed RAM: 11.99 GB." "Current RAM Usage: .28 GB" "Allowed RAM Usage: .40GB." Whenever I render a video it always uses up to 3% or 4% of my RAM but never any higher.
And the second problem...
Whenever I start After Effects CS6 (and it happened in CS5.5) Trials it hangs on Initializing Media Core, for about 5 minutes, then it says Quicktime isn't installed. To fix that problem I have tried everything I could find in the 30+ hours I have spent on that problem. Turning off all firewalls, anti-virus, etc, updating, reinstalling, and everything in between. (Also I see dynamiclinkmanager.exe and AfterFX.exe but not QT32.exe or PProHeadless.exe which need to be allowed through firewalls and such)
I'm using After Effects CS6
Windows 7 64-bit
12 GB of RAM
Quicktime 7.7.2 and Itunes 10.6.3.25 Any ideas would be very much appreciated, thanks! ^.^

Ok, well I installed updates to my graphics driver, After Effects, and Windows, and unfortunately nothing worked, but from reading other forums, when I am using After Effects I should see QT32server.exe right? That doesn't show up in processes, but also I installed Premiere Pro to test dynamic link, and I always get an error "Failed to connect to Dynamic Link Manager." and when I hit Ctrl + Enter it says the same thing. ( I actually don't know what that hotkey does ) any ideas at all would be very much appreciated
Edit: I started thinking about it, my driver is an Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, which I didn't see on Adobe's supported list, is this the culprit behind the render problems?

After Effects hangs on "initializing Media Core"

I might be off subject here, but my AE CS6 would not complete the start up and simply hang at "INITIALIZING MEDIA CORE".
After finding some info about that, but for CS5, apparently a Quick Time codec problem, I got rid of PERIAN, and all is well now, it start right up.
I am using an old 2007 2.66 dual core, with 9GB and a 5770 graphic card. Not ultra spiffy, but does the job...

After Effects Hanging on Initializing Media Core

I downloaded the trial for After Effects CC 2014 to make sure it would work on my computer, but when I try to open it the start up screen hangs at initialing media core. I made sure that After Effects was allowed through the firewall, but it's still not working. I want to buy it, but I can't if it won't start. Please help!

I can't promise this will help and I have email from Adobe support that specifically says this won't work and isn't the problem. So if you want to try this, it's just working advice from some shlub who wants the software to work and doesn't care whose feelings are hurt. This response fixes all versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro in the CC and CC 2014 series. The file ExporterAVI.prm is bad. It has had a flaw since around 2013. Now you can fix this taking no chance with your computer or installation, so if you follow this carefully you'll do nothing to hurt your setup and if it doesn't work, just change it back.
Each application has it's separate copy in it's separate folder, so just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\(Media Core Plug-ins)\Common
Find the file called ExporterAVI.prm and rename it (I always just rename it to ExporterAVI.prmold
Now run After Effects CC. If it loads, you found the problem. If it doesn't rename it back to it's original name and, no harm, no foul.
If it does load, know that you can't export an AVI file. You need a PRM file that works. I always keep one saved. It will work for the CC version and the CC 2014 version. It is from an old copy of the original CC version of both programs.t is 159Kb and dated 8/20/2013. The properties detail tab actually says it was created on 3/27/2012. Every time an update come out that affects this, it will stop working, so just rename it again and put back in the old file and you'll get full functionality. I've had to use it six time since the update after 8/2013, but I have full functionality of all four versions of both programs, but it won't work with the current version of ExporterAVI.prm. So far, that means every time it loads an update, I have to fix the file in the After Effects CC, After Effects CC 2014, Premiere Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC 2014. The same file is used in Prelude, Encore and Media Encoder, but I don't use those programs. so I don't know if they freeze up or not.
Also look at the last entry in your plugin loading.log file, it should say something like:
Loading E:\Win8\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\ExporterAVI.prm
Invalid registry entry found so the plugin will be loaded from disk.
Loading from disk...
and then the log ends and the program freezes.
p.s. If you don't have a copy of the old version of the file, call Adobe, don't ask me - I can't give copies of it to anyone, I just make them because I keep backups before every update.

I have this same exact problem. I'd rather not disable USB 2.0, because I use it to transfer files to my MP3 player when in Windows.
I find it hard to "blame the BIOS" when it was working fine under kernel 2.6.7. Anyone know of another solution?
EDIT: Well it isn't the same "exact" problem. When I first boot into Arch, the usb mouse and keyboard don't work. I press and hold the power button on the machine to restart. The second time I boot into Arch, the usb devices do work. If I do a standard soft reboot and go back into Arch, the usb devices again don't work. I guess this is a hotplugging issue, but enabling it in rc.conf does nothing. The only permanent solution I can find is disabling USB 2.0 in the BIOS.

"OPEN" button in Purchases list does nothing

My machine is a Mac Pro (5,1; 12-core 2.4GHz; 64 GB RAM). My boot drive is a 1TB Crucial M5, holding about 350GB. There are also two 3TB and one 4TB hard drives installed in the machine. I updated to Yosemite (10.10 -- 14A389) from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) a few days ago. Afterwards App Store indicated required updates for Xcode, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. I downloaded all of those updates to completion. On its "Updates" tab App Store reports all of them as having been installed in the last 30 days. However, only older incompatible versions of the software reside in my Applications folder. When I sign-in and inspect my Purchases list in App Store, those applications each show an "OPEN" button instead of an "INSTALLED" or "DOWNLOAD" button. Clicking the "OPEN" button installed Xcode. Clicking their corresponding buttons does nothing in the cases of Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. There are no unfinished downloads according to App Store. Before I updated to Yosemite I had updated Logic Pro X to v10.0.7. That version of the app is installed and will run. However, it is also shown as "OPEN" in my App Store Purchased list. All of this makes very little sense to me. How do I go about actually installing Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor?

Hi,
I've came across this issue before. I had to remove the less than and greater than ("<" and ">") signs from the LOV template. Go to Shared Components --> Templates and edit the PopUp LOV template.

Oracle 10g on Fedora Core 5

Is there a pre-packaged version of Fedora Core 5 which includes Oracle 10g for Linux?
This way, all you have to do is select Install Oracle 10g and it includes any special packages for installing Oracle 10g. Plus, after installation, it automatically starts up the Oracle 10g installer. It could even do the pre-installation stuff such as creating the oracle user. I do not know how, but this oracle user would be the only user using an old gcc compatible with Oracle software. Via its environment maybe?
Right now, it is a Pain-in-the-neck to install Oracle on Linux. The installation guide Oracle provides is not enough. You have to do a search on the web for pages detailing more info. Or you have to install a special file or set variables to make the Oracle installer think it is installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I have to hide the gcc that comes with Linux and install an old verison of it. At one time, I even had to compile a library so the java installer could run. This is ridiculous, I should not have to jump through hurdles to install Oracle.
Does anyone out there have such a set of Fedora Core 5 ISO images? Shoot, FC4 would do too.

No. I'm not particular to Fedora. Fedora has been a distribution which works on my (please don't laugh) emachines computer at home. I've had Oracle 9i enterprise installed on fedora core 3.
Ubuntu and Debian are good distros as well. I have not been successfull with Suse though.
Suse in the past -- the installer could not get the graphics correct -- garbage just displays -- so i could never install it. Maybe SuSe 10 has improved since then.
I found this about Suse and Oracle. So, this may work for me. Otherwise, i will try Centos.

JRE not found, while installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5

I am installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5 from the following site.
http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html
The site asks me to Download the Java Runtime Enviroment (j2re-1_3_1_15-linux-i586.bin) from the Sun website.
extract the file and put it in /opt directory. And edit Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini and modify JRE_LOCATION variable to /opt/jre1.3.xx
I have downloaded JRE version jre1.3.1_19 as this is the version available from the sun site, and put it in the /opt directory.
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ cd /opt
[oracle@localhost opt]$ ls -l
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 19 2006 jre1.3.1_19
My oraparam.ini settings are:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ cat Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini
[Oracle]
JRE_LOCATION=/opt/jre1.3.1_19
However, after doing these changes when I use /home/oracle/Disk1/runInstaller, i get the following error:
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ pwd
/home/oracle/Disk1
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ ./runInstaller
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ The Java RunTime Environment was not found at /tmp/OraInstall2008-04-29_07-09-15AM/jre/bin/java. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run.
Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.3.1 or higher and try again.

Oracle Linux Calendar 9.0.4.2/10 and Fedora Core 5

Hi folks --
I recently migrated from FC4 to FC5 (did a fresh install), and to my chagrin, the Oracle Calendar linux client install is now broken. This was running fine under both FC4 and RHEL 4. Here is the error I receive on any of the installs (silent/text/graphical):
[root@pcalarco OracleCalendar_inst]# sh silent_install.sh
Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...

I know Fedora Core isn't officially supported, but does anyone have a solution for this? Are these just path errors for the JRE as in previous problems with Fedora?
Also, does Oracle Calendar 10 run any better in FC5?
Many thanks in advance!

--------------------------------------------------

I did some searching, and found that this is a common problem with many applications migrating from FC4 to FC5. This problem is caused due to incompatibility of the installer's Java Run-time Environment with certain system libraries.
In order to solve this, run these commands on the {OracleCalendar_install/cal_linux_904 file:
$ cp cal_linux_904 cal_linux_904.bak
$ cat cal_linux_904.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > cal_linux_904
$ rm cal_linux_904.bak
Now the installers work fine.

Oracle database for Fedora Core 7 (x86_64)

I want to install Oracle database on Fedora core 7(x86_64). I tried with 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio.gz setup but it does not support Fedora core 7 platform. Please suggest me where to find the proper setup.
Thanks in advance

This trick, from a previous thread worked for me for Redhat 5. You might wanna use it for Fedora;
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini
Add the name of your distribution on this line. It might work for you
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2, Fedora Core 7

Javaws hangs & does nothing (Fedora Core 3)
