[SOLVED]Java Plugin in Firefox 4 - no sound, pls hlp, tnx

Hi!
Okay, I hope this question belong here. I have FireFox 4, and JRE 6_25, and G3 (dunnow if that's the problem). As described in the docs, I'm supposed to make a symlink to the plugin. The about : plugins keeps reporting File: libnpjp2.so as file, not the plugin I need.
I just reinstalled 6_21 (the one I know works) and have successfully made a symlink, but FireFox refuses to accept the link.
Applets do not have sound - tested with RuneScape and the Bells applet, no sound, but there is the music in RuneScape...
What manual do I read?
Thanks for some tips.
Thor
(by the way: in case you're wondering: yes, I did sniff tru the forum and did not find the answer...)
Edit - considering a cold-turkey re-install, there's too much breakage...Firefox that broke Eclipse (Xulrunner issues), Gnome3 that made the system less usuable (fall back only, here), VLC that takes the whole system down to the grave, and now JRE without sound.
What's left of the system?
After the update, things went into the fog...I read that the OSS emulations are not/no longer loaded by default. Does an Applet need these? If so, that could be the option: adding that into rc.conf...
Please consider a reply, thanks.

Hi,
First of, to all that "came by" to read this post: thanks.
The solution is:
modprobe snd_pcm_oss
as Root, this line needs to be in /etc/rc.conf.
What lead me to this is the documentation and a line in pacman.log
OSS emulation modules are not loaded by default, add to rc.conf if needed.
I would very much like to mark this as solved...
Thanks.

  • Java plugin for firefox

    Hi All !
    I hope this is the right forum. I have installed java plugin for firefox
    I try the website javatester.org and I get a message saying:
    Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.
    If I understand this correct this is not a firefox message but a java message
    so...
    I have used the java control panel and added the site to the site list
    I also lowered the security settings to medium
    Restarted the browser and tried again but no luck, what am I missing ?
    Appreciate your feedback !
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Did you activate the JDK java for your browser in the java plugin config.

  • [SOLVED] Can't Find IcedTea7 Java Plugin for Firefox

    Hello everybody,
    I'm new to Arch (have used Linux for some time but never got too deep into configurations and such). I've always just used proprietary versions of Java in the past, even on Linux, but now that I have a really cutomized Arch box, I'd like to try and support OpenJDK+IcedTea.
    I followed the Wiki instructions by installing jre7-openjdk, jdk7-openjdk, and icedtea-web-java7 packages. All I want is to link to the plugin for firefox. However, I don't actually see the .so plugin file anywhere, nor do I know how to see where pacman installs things.
    I have a folder /usr/share/icedtea-web/ that contains the files about.jar, about.jnlp, netx.jar, and plugin.jar.
    I remember .jar files are Java archives, but I actually have no idea what to do with them or how to use them as I'm not too familiar with Java (but I do run browser applets using the plugin).
    I apologize for my noobness in this, but can anybody help me figure out how to find or acquire or extract the .so plugin file for firefox?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Great, thank you so much! Actually, it was already fixed before I read your reply, but it's still informative (I wasn't sure how to find file lists for pacman packages).
    I just removed and reinstalled all the java packages and it worked. I might have done it in the wrong order or something when I did it the first time. I wasn't sure if the web test on the Java website checked for the Oracle plugin specifically or just a valid JRE implementation, but it worked, so I guess OpenJDK is working great so far.

  • 32-bit flash and java plugins freeze firefox and gnome on 64-bit linux

    I have installed FC13 64-bit and am running 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 so that I can run flash plugin.
    When I start 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 and go to site with flash or java applet, firefox locks up my gnome desktop necessitating a reboot of my computer.
    Firefox 3.6.8 32-bit
    Flash 10.1r82
    Java jdk 1.6.0_15 32-bit
    I have used a similar configuration on 32-bit FC13 with 32-bit Firefox 3.6.8 and everything works fine. No lockups.

    Hi!
    I finally solved this problem. The 32-bit libflashplugin required a 32-bit libcurl library that is not installed by default on 64-bit linux systems (at least not on Fedora). Once I installed 32-bit libcurl libs, flash and java plugins starting magically working.
    In my opinion, 64-bit Fedora has done a poor job with 32-bit compatibility viz a viz 32-bit libs. I will submit an improvement ticket to Fedora folks about installing more 32-bit libs on 64-bit distros.

  • Java plugin causing Firefox to crash

    I installed the newest Java plugin today and it asked me to restart Firefox. Now it crashes as soon as I open it. It will not open in Safe Mode because it won't stay open for more than half a second. I tried re-installing it and restarting my computer and it's having the same problem. I can't open about:crashes because it won't stay open.

    Make sure that you've installed the 32 bit Java version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

  • The Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 removed the Java plugin from Firefox 5.0. How do I re-install it?

    I've just installed Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 and can no longer run Java Applets from Firefox 5.0

    Dear Craig,
    Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
    I'm sure that this is 64-bit
    CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
    Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
    Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_13"

    Beta-4:~ Colin$
    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
    see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
    message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
    activity monitor.
    Any suggestions?
    C
    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,
    Craig

  • Java plugin for Firefox and Chromium just not working

    Hi Arch Users
    I have been suffering with the IcedTea-Web for a while now. My banking service (in their stroke of genius) use java on there online service. So a problamatic plugin means that I am not able to use the website while on Linux.
    The issue is not specific to the bank's website. Doing the following is also problematic:
    1. Go to www.java.com
    2. Click on "Do I have Java?"
    3. Click on Verify Java Version
    4. Chromium does nothing after setp 3, Firefox has a small notification (bottom corner) saying Applet Started but nothign really happens (waited for 20min).
    Searching the Forums, showed people with similar problems with an older plugin. An idea I did get was to use the latest branch and compile it. So I changed the PKGBUILD to download the latest using:
    hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=${_jvmdir} \
    --datarootdir=/usr/share \
    --with-jdk-home=${_jvmdir} \
    --with-firefox=/usr/bin/firefox \
    --with-chromium=/usr/bin/chromium
    So currentely my FireFox reports the IcedTeaWeb as: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.4pre+r6e622e87010e). Unfortunately the issue remains.
    Please can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this issue. Currentely I have to use VirtualBox to run a browser in Windows (very very painful)!
    A while back I did contact the bank, informing them of the issue was met with a simple "We dont support Linux".
    Cheers!

  • Using Java Plugin within Firefox on a cd with zero installation?!?

    Hi,
    is there any way to get firefox (firefox mobile or portable version) together with a java plugin on a cd such that it can be used by systems even if they have not installed any java themselves.
    I think it might be possible on linux systems, putting both the jre and firefox (mobile) on a cd and creating a symlink within the plugins folder that links to the jre directory on the cd. But on Windows this won't work because of the lack of symlinks and the required registry entries.
    But nevertheless is there any way to get this accomplished on windows platforms?
    As far as I understand the plugin mechanism on windows (please correct me if that is not the case), the plugin dll to be put into firefox plugin folder somehow tells firefox where to actually find the jre, whereby this location is resolved via the corresponding windows registry entry. Might it be possible to write another plugin dll version that just does not look for the registry entry but just takes the jre location out of a possible hardcoded path? But where to get the sources of the default plugin dll?
    Or do you know any other way that must not include any installation or change/addition of registry entries on the clients???

  • Flash plugin with firefox 3, no sound [SOLVED]

    It tries to load the 32 bit flash plugin because it is in /usr/lib/mozilla, but I have the wrapped version in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins. The relevant error seems to be the no soundwrapper.
    You might notice that I am running KDE4 svn but I don't think this has to do with the problem.
    Did anyone have a similar problem?

    I would check the installation of nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flash because lib32-alsa-lib is listed as a dependency in the nspluginwrapper-flash PKGBUILD and so should not have to be installed manually.  Also, did you run "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i" as your user and not as root after installation?

    Hi This goes back to an archived thread that Wesley was gracious enough to answer but that I churlishly did not respond to at the time - my only excuse is that I was working on a production system migration and found a different workaround - the question is here:-
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=chrise99&sortby=1&w=2
    I did not get this to work. I need to use the latest Java 1.7.0_55 for Juniper VPN (archaic on Linux and I am using 32-bit Centos for this work) to pass the browser security and log me in. So I have the plugin installed in 2 places - seems to be necessary
    /home/oracle/.mozilla/plugins
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jan 15 12:39 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
    /home/oracle/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jan 15 12:39 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
    Now when I then want to connect to an Oracle Middleware product that REQUIRES 1.7.0_25 I of course get a message plugin is missing. Wesley explained the procedure but how do I add the link for libnpjp2.so to point to /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so without clobbering the link to 1.7.0_55?
    Sorry for waiting 6 months but I still have the issue and I can't avoid it any more. FF is the only option.

    If you use a symlink to link to the libnpjp2.so files then you might be able to include the Java version in the file name and have two links (libnpjp2-7u25.so and libnpjp2-7u55.so).
    Note that you can also create a plugins folder in the current Firefox profile folder or in the ~/.mozilla folder (~/.mozilla/plugins)

  • I would like to programatically enable Java Plugin in Firefox 19. I do not want to use pluginreg.dat file in Appdata Folder

    I have a need to enable Java Plug-in 6U20 6.0.200.2 in Firefix 19. This version of Java is disabled by Firefox by default since it has few security issues. But still i need that to be enabled. Do we have a method to do it. I do not want to use %Application Data%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Random Profile Name>\pluginreg.dat file as this is created under a random profile. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi David, Thanks for the quick reply. But i have already gone through the solution that you provided. My requirement here is to automate this. User machines are already installed with the Java 6 U20 which they need it anyway. When i install Firefox, this Plug in should be enabled to the users. I need to use some script / commands to make this happen.

  • How do I install the java plugin for firefox 22 under windows XP when I have no internet connection (I have a local appache server)

    I have jre 1.6 installed on the target machine.

    Need the java executable offline, go to the link you indicated from another computer or from your phone and download the executable that gets "out of line". Then you load it into your computer and run it.

    Hope that helps.
    A greeting!!

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.

    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • Firefox browser does not recognize Java plugin in 64 bit Linux

    I am running Firefox12 on RHEL5 with Java6u31 installed. Unfortunately firefox will not recognize the java plugin. I have tried linking it in the appropriate directory (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/760718?e=es&as=aaq) and I get nothing. The only feedback I seem to get is that when I go to this website: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ it tells me that Firefox has "disabled my version of Java because it is outdated" which is total BS because I have the latest version! Typing in "about:plugins" only shows the flash plugin (which is in the same directory !!!!)
    Java used to work in my browser and flash works fine and I've been trying for ages to get it to work again and I'm at a loss.
    Doesn't anyone else have this problem ??????????

    6.32 is the latest, check it in : [http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp Verify Java Version]
    if update to 6.32 probably you have no problem.
    thank you
