Why no plugin for Linux?

I heard the reason why a Linux plugin isn't being developed is because Skype is trying to make Skype for Web available on every device without a plugin. Don't you think you could at least quickly throw together a plugin or quick update to the Skype for Linux version because the Linux version of Skype has been dead for quite a while, and we still lack basic features like group video.
[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Linux"]

Is there any ETA?It's kind of pathetic that us Linux users have been lacking with a fully working version of Skype with the same features Windows and Mac gets whenever your servers are probably hosted off of Linux machines.

thanks in advance,

Could you give some detail for this issue? I have tried the plugin with IIS6 and it does works.

Not able to see Java plugin for Linux RHEL 14.0.1

I have installed Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1, for Linux, but I'm having trouble seeing the Java 'plugin' (libnpjp2.so').
I believe I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a 32 bit machine, as detailed :-
Linux localhost.127.0.0.1 2.6.18-128.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 12:02:33 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have installed the 32 bit version of Java :-
[root@localhost /]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_05-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.1-b03, mixed mode)
from the 'pluginreg.dat' file I see :-
[INVALID]
/root/Oracle/Middleware/jdk160_11/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so:$
I'm referencing the 'Oracle' version of 'libnpjp2.so', as this appears to be the 32 bit version,
and I'm trying to configure Oracle APEX on this version of Linux.
I think I need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode, but don't know how, or if what I'm attempting to do is possible ?
Any feedback, would be most grateful.

The regular Firefox version as downloaded from the Mozilla server is a 32bit version
*Firefox 14.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
A 32 bit Firefox version only works with a 32 bit Java version and you need to place symlink to the Java plugin file (libnpjp2.so) in a location where Firefox finds it.
Did you try to delete the pluginreg.dat file to force Firefox to create a new file?

Jinitiator plugin for Linux client

Is there any Jinitiator plugin available for Linux client??
Thanks,
Pranjal

This is my post in the "Install and upgrade" forum.
I hope it will help.
Any help with the r12 will be welcome.
Hi all,
I'm able to see the forms directly in my linux box in 11.5.10.2 but not in R12.
Can anybody help?
The following are the steps to see the forms in 11.5.10.2:
a) Change the $COMMON_TOP/html/bin/appsweb_VIS_localhost.cfg in the following lines:
jinit_mime_type=application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2
plugin=jdk
sun_plugin_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2
sun_plugin_version=1.4.2
b) With root (we needed a jdk 1.4.2)
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_09/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin-oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Where is the equivalent of the file $COMMON_TOP/html/bin/appsweb_VIS_localhost.cfg?
I've found (with the find command) 2 files with the name appsweb.cfg, but none with the appsweb_VIS_localhost.cfg name.
Thanks

Why Firefox 4 for Linux x86_64 doesn't load upgrade to 4.0.1?

OS: Fedora 14 x86_64
Firefox 4 today found an upgrade to 4.0.1 and offered to download it and install.
However, it ends up trying to connect to updates server, this phase never ends.
Does the automatic upgrade work in Forefox 4 for Linux?

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
You can probably find the updates folder in the Firefox program folder.

SCE-Plugin for Linux?

Hi,
i read the installation manual and there is written:
The OCMS Service Creation Environment (OCMS SCE) component is a package for third-party developers on the Microsoft Windows operating system. OCMS Service Creation Environment (SCE) consists of tools and APIs for developers to create their own services using the OCMS platform.
Has anybody used it on Linux?
Does anybody knows that this does not work (because only .bat scripts and no .sh scripts?)

You can use OCMS SCE on Linux by copying following files from Windows to Linux.
I used OCMS SCE on Linux for several months without any problem.

Why is skype for web not being developed for linux?

i tried to get the skype extention for chrome on linux. and well i got that icon error. so i tried to work arround the error and was seccessful in getting the plugin installed. but the actual skype for web aplication doesn't seem to want to utilize the skype calling extention even after using a user agent to trick the skype for web page into thinking i am using chrome on windows. i end up hacing to install the windows plugin. and the skype for web page doesn't like to use the Skype Calling extention.but anyway iwanted to know why the skype for web plugin is not being compiled for linux. i see no reason why someone couldn't just compile the plugin for linux with the already existing code. i would be willing to volunteer to compile the plugin and release the plugin for linux.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Skype for Web is currently a Beta version with support for calling via the plugin being limited to popular browsers on Windows and Mac. Unfortunately supporting calling on Chrome for Linux requires a bit more than simply recompiling the plugin. Going forward we are looking to add more features and allow calling on even more platforms, potentially even Linux.

When will firefox be updated for linux ubuntu ?

Compared to Firefox on other OS's this one just don't cut it for me.. it needs to be more compatable to ubuntu.. and an upgrade for flashplayer and java..This version isnot good at all..

Adobe is the one that makes and provides the Flash player plugin for Linux and they currently only support 11.2 esr with security updates.
Firefox does not come with any Plugins with the exception of the OpenH264 video codec provided by Cisco more recently.
Mozilla does not make any packages or updates for Ubuntu version of Firefox as Ubuntu does that. Also Ubuntu is only one of the huge list of Linux distros out there as Mozilla cannot just make it work best for only one in particular.
Mozilla does provide tarballs for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux at www.mozilla.org/firefox/all

Apache Plugin in linux for WLS6.0 sp1 and (?sp2?)

This message is a little long,
The following message is arranged in 4 parts where:
1. Conclusion and Sugestions.
2. Tests Environment
3. Simple plugin environment
4. Virtual Hosting with apache
Any comment and help will be welcome
Conclusion
The plug-in has not been tested and documented and therefore does not
work in the described environment. The plugin parameter needs to be :
1. Syntaxly rewieved. The parameters not starting with
WebLogic.... (like PathTrim, PathPrepend, ConnectTimeoutSecs,
ConnectRetrySecs, Debug, DebugConfigInfo, StatPath, ErrorPage,
HungServerRecoverSecs, Idempotent, CookieName,
DefaultFileName, MaxPostSize, MatchExpression, FileCaching,
SecureProxy, TrustedCAFile, RequireSSLHostMatch,
SSLHostMatchOID) are confusing and couyld be bug/problem
generators when adding other non BEA modules in apache. I
would suggest to have all the parameter starting with a common
root like WebLogic or Wls or something else deterministic
2. Better documented. The module parameters in Apache need to
get an action perimeter. For example the "LoadModule
weblogic_module" and "AddModule mod_weblogic.c" need to be
declared one time at the server level. But there no
indication for the others plugin parameters if they are
limited inside the sublocation where declared, i.e
<VirtualHost>, <location> <file>.....
3. Documented with configuration examples: The apache plugin is
interlinked with what is declared in the WLS server. I would
sugest to provide some examples on this matter. I.e how to
relate the Apache virtual hosting with or without the virtual
hosting in wls.
Test Environment
The tests described below has been done with the following system
environment.
Operating System:
RedHat 7.0 + glibc updates + network uodates, kernel level 2.2.17-14
RedHat 7.1 + updates, kernel 2.4.2-2
Java Level:
On the RedHat 7.0 system the default Java JVM provided in the BEA
distribution
On the RedHat 7.1 system the Sun JDK 1.3.1 for Linux
Apache: 1.3.19
DNS: one system called cordoba.paris.inetpc.com with 3 cnames added
(w1cordoba, w2cordoba, w3cordoba)
The Weblogic installtion is coming from a single reference system.
This system runs under RedHat 6.2 + latest update levels. The WebLogic
tree directory has been deployed in both systems and the JVM set in the
proper manner. Despite the well known problem with the default webapp
Wls 6.0 works fine and as expected. Default ports are used (7001).
The apache environment works fine too. In a single apache environment
and with the virtual hosting supporting the 3 cnames (w1cordoba,
w2cordoba, w3cordoba)
In both systems the behavior and and problems are equal.
Simple plugin environment
A single default web app runs under wls6.0. calling the wls60 thru the
URI: "http://cordoba:7001" works fines and the Welcome.html default page
is properly displayed. Similar tests have been done with a jsp page and
works fine too.
The httpd.conf file has been set has described in the documentation and
as follow:
LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl.so
WebLogicHost cordoba
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ON
DebugConfigInfo ON
<location /wls>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
PathTrin /wls
</location>
Problem 1: When requesting the page using the URI: "http://cordoba/wls"
the answer from the couple apache/plugin is:
-1- In the netscape location entry fileld we get in return:
"http://cordoba/Welcome.html"
-2- The response from apache is "NOT FOUND The requested URL
/Welcome.html was not found on this server."
-3- When requesting the page using the URI: "http://cordoba:7001" the
return is properly rendered, and the Netscape Location entry field
gets: "http://cordoba:7001/Welcome.html"
-4- wlproxy.log contains:

Virtual Hosting with Apache
These tests aim to validate a production environment where an entry cell
of apache servers will serve static pages and route dynamic requests to
a set of WebLogic servers. From the Apache/Httpd point of view the
dispatch is done first at a virtual host level and then for each virtual
server, each different location will be served by one or multiple
weblogic servers. A try with Apache virtual hosts in where a reroute by
location or a full reroute has done the same results than stated in
"Simple plugin environment".
[att1.html]

Hi
I am trying to configure the following pattern:
->https->apache->SSL->weblogic
using the apache plugin that you provided from the distribution.
There is no way to let it work.
the apache site trying to connect to weblogic is a virtual host, follows the config
file.
Checking the DEbugDebug config monitor it I discover that SecureProxy it is OFF
istead of ON and checking the debug file I've got this message:
INFO: ssl is not activated..
It means that despite of SecureProxy set to ON, it is still working in clear.
I have the same behaviour using 6.0, SP1, SP2 and 6.1
(If there more documentation about it in 6.1, please let me know where!)
Please, anyone can send me documentation about it or help me???

Worth considering for the next major release.
2. Better documented.
Yes, 6.1 release is doing a much better job of documentation!
The module parameters in Apache need to
get an action perimeter. For example the "LoadModule
weblogic_module" and "AddModule mod_weblogic.c" need to be
declared one time at the server level. If apxs is used to update the module, end user should not need
to worry about adding/changing these two lines.
But there no
indication for the others plugin parameters if they are
limited inside the sublocation where declared, i.e
<VirtualHost>, <location> <file>.....
3. Documented with configuration examples: The apache plugin
is
interlinked with what is declared in the WLS server. I would
sugest to provide some examples on this matter. I.e how to
relate the Apache virtual hosting with or without the virtual
hosting in wls.
Again, better on 6.1 docs.
Problem 1: When requesting the page using the URI: "http://cordoba/wls"
the answer from the couple apache/plugin is:
-1- In the netscape location entry fileld we get in return:
"http://cordoba/Welcome.html"
"DefaultFileName Welcome.html" should be used in your httpd.conf
-2- The response from apache is "NOT FOUND The requested URL
/Welcome.html was not found on this server."
-3- When requesting the page using the URI: "http://cordoba:7001" the
return is properly rendered, and the Netscape Location entry field
gets: "http://cordoba:7001/Welcome.html"
-4- wlproxy.log contains:on 6.1, if relative URI is used in sendRedirect(), PathTrim and
PathPrepend should be taken care automatically. i.e:
in httpd.conf:
PathTrim /weblogic
PathPrepend /abc
in a jsp page:
response.sendRedirect("HelloWorld.jsp");
The plugin and wls will be smart enough to set Location header
to the following:
Location: http://apache_host:apache_port/weblogic/HelloWorld.jsp
Then the plugin will trim the /weblogic and prepend /abc to it
i.e:
http://wls_host:wls_port/abc/HelloWorld.jsp
Virtual Hosting with Apache
These tests aim to validate a production environment where an entrycell
of apache servers will serve static pages and route dynamic requests

weblogic servers. A try with Apache virtual hosts in where a reroute
by
location or a full reroute has done the same results than stated in
"Simple plugin environment".Absolutely. in 6.1 you can specify different weblogic hosts per
vhost. Even you can use MatchExresspion or <Location> to define
different parameters per mime type and path:
i.e:
MatchExpression *.jsp WebLogicHost=www.bea.com|WebLogicPort=7001|DefaultFileName=/Welcome.html
MatchExpression *.html WebLogicCluster=weblogic1:7001,weblogic2:7002|Debug=ALL
<Location /weblogic>
WebLogicHost thankyou.com
</Location>
Where Location takes the precedence.
Anyway, 6.1 apache plugin should be a much better modules.
We also support apache2.0(beta) in 6.1. Unfortunately,
the apache2.0 binaries were unable to be included in the 6.1
beta installer. There might be a separate down-load for that.
Thank you for your great suggestions/comments.

JRE for Linux ARM architecture plus browser plugin

Hello,
is there a port of JRE for Linux ARM architecture?
I was only able to find Blackdown's JRE 1.3. Unfortunatelly this one does not contain a plugin for Mozilla browser.
Thank you for help

Hi There
Are you using Mozilla Firefox to access the console or Internet explorer ?
If its INternet explorer then please follow this :- +
Installing TightVNC for Non-Linux Users
After Oracle VM Manager is installed, install the TightVNC-Java applet for non-Linux users to access virtual machines. Download the latest version from: http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/.
To set up the TightVNC-Java applet:
Install it using the command:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-version.noarch.rpm
version refers to the version of the TightVNC-Java applet. For example:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm
This should work out for you, try it in INternet explorer first, then you will know if it worked.
Make sure u restart after installation of the RPM

Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
offer a total solution. Now they even can have
windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
doing with a mac.
I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.

Latest SO Patch for Linux (120184-14) fails with postgresql plugin

Hi,
the latest staroffice patch for Linux no longer works with the postgresql extension postgresql-sdbc-0.7.5. It can read tables but will not write back any modifications. The failure message is something about some routine not being implemented. I'm afraid I needed it in a hurry, so I reverted to the previous patch (120184-12).
My system is opensuse 10.3 running on an x86/64-it machine. uname -a gives
Linux hostname 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Does any body know of another convenient way of hooking SO up to postgresql?
Regards,
Charles

Hi dcminter,
your right, sorry, this isn't a Java question. I followed a link from Suns StarOffice page and assumed this was a purely SO forum. I've just noticed the tabs on the forum window. There is a separate section for 'desktop'. I'll repost there.

Charles
