For some reason the 32 bit firefox isnt' working with java1.6?

I did this command to find the libjava* and got this

[root@localhost plugins]# which libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/bin/which: no libjavaplugin_oji.so in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/carl/bin)
[root@localhost plugins]# locate libjavaplugin_oji.so

/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[root@localhost plugins]#


it exists in my plugins directory for firefox but not working?

I notice in your post at the top about the 32 bit Firefox that it points to the /ur/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/plugins/ directory without downloading 32bit Firefox... is 32 bit already on my system?
The reason I ask is because that directory already exists .. just curious...

I could't run java untill code this:

yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33

I found that at this site http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/f7-tips.php#dvd
It says "The libraries in Fedora 7 are newer than the ones used by Sun's build so you'll also need to install a compatability library." It might be usefull to add in your HOW-TO. Thank's for your help with firefox!!!!

I just removed mplayer and reinstalled using this command ( I added mencoder.x86_64 because removing mplayer took mencoder as well )


It looks like you are trying to install mplayer.i386 instead of mplayer.x86_64

I'm having an awful lot of trouble as well. I wish there was a way to do desktop sharing so someone could actually sync to my Fedora and help me. No plugins at all are being recognized by Firefox. It says they are all installed (except MPlayer which I'm having the same issues this guy is) but none are being picked up by Firefox itself. If nothing else I'd at least like to have Flash and Java working.

when you copy & paste the 32 bit repo try leaving a couple of blank lines at the end .

Try this ( My version of yum clean all )

Alright so I read online somewhere to change the enabled entry's in the repo from 1 to 0 and I think that worked...
It looks like it downloaded as you see below (not sure what the NO KEY thing is all about though.

So I hope doing it this way was .. umm ok to do and I didn't go causing myself more trouble but it seems to have worked ..

Besides the fact none of the other plugins installed to Firefox.

[cjnkns]

For the java plugin I downloaded the JDK simply because I write java programs (obviously mostly on Windows)
But, I downloaded the jdk*.bin to my /opt directory extracted and the did a ln -s (soft link) from the libjavaplugin to my /usr/lib/firefox2.0.0.4/plugins directory which gave me java plugin in my firefox browser w/ no problems.

The flash I used leigh123's commands from the first page which worked fine....

In order to fix that issue above on the 3rd page here leigh123 shows a command the cleans out the yum cache...

su -
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

I ran that then opened up the 32bit repot and replaced it (added a few lines at the end for good measure like leigh mentions .. then I changed the enabled=1 to enabled=0 and BINGO.....

[cjnkns]

Although - after looking I don't see any other plugins for my 32bit firefox .. the only ones i have are flash and java.. I wonder is that all were supposed to have?

Hello:
You can install several plugins, so which one(s) is/are up to you.
Here are the plugins et al, that I have installed on my 32bit ff browser running in F7 X86_64

The mplayerplug-in from livna provides the :

- DivX Browser Plug-In
- mplayerplug-in 3.40
- QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 / 7

Ok try this for the 32 bit plugins

su
yum install xine xine-plugin xine-plugin.i386 xine-lib-extras-nonfree
wget http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/7/i386/mplayerplug-in-3.40-1.lvn7.i386.rpm
rpm -i mplayerplug-in-3.40-1.lvn7.i386.rpm
ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/plugins/


close all the running firefox windows then start firefox 32 bit from the menu link you created or start another terminal and type as non-root

usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/firefox-bin

then in the address bar type

about:plugins

[leigh123linux]

Yes I did. Heres what it looks like:

your screen shots look like the 64 bit version of firefox , close all firefox windows and then type this to start firefox 32bit

usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/firefox-bin


If you dont close all the 64 bit firefox's this command will spawn another 64 bit firefox window

[cjnkns]

It looks like that worked!

You have no idea how much I appreciate all your help... I hope others will find this thread useful also.

Hi Seve,

Could you run the 32 bit repo from post # 1 to check it ( its working ok here )

and check this command to see if all the deps are met.

yum install mplayer.x86_64 mplayerplug-in mplayerplug-in.i386 mplayer-gui.x86_64 mplayer-doc mplayer-fonts

Thanks Leigh

That looks good , I'm sorry that you had so much trouble with the 32 bit livna repo. ( you will need to update the mplayerplug-in.i386 manually if it's ever updated )

Now we're getting somewhere. But not quite there yet. What do I do now? (Sorry if this is redundant)

That is probably because you are using the 64 bit firefox :(

check that the plugins are linked here as well

cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/plugins/
ls -l

Then make sure all running firefox's are shut down ( IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A 64 BIT FIREFOX RUNNING YOU WONT BE ABLE TO START ANY 32 BIT FIREFOX )

To start a 32 bit firefox either use this command or create a menu entry

/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.4/firefox-bin

[JohnMichael]

Just got it to work. Thank you so much man. Now if you know anything about getting XPDE to work that would be awesome. But I'll post that in another topic.

I dont use a PDF a lot

Then I set xpdf as the default app in firefox to open pdf ( I dont use any pdf plugin )

[JohnMichael]

no no XPDE is a GUI. Has nothing to do with Firefox plugins:

http://www.xpde.com

I got it to go in but when the GUI starts its a bunch of menus that link to nothing. My problem is getting the shortcuts to work.

Sorry , I haven't heard of XPDE

[JohnMichael]

Sorry , I haven't heard of XPDE

Yeah its new. The GUI is extremely similar to Windows XP. As much as I detest Microsoft and the way the actual Windows Systems are setup (nor do I plan to install Windows ever again seeing as how I have everything I want working on Fedora), it is nice having the look and feel of it. And XPDE can do that. And still maintain the benefits of having Fedora.

Summary: Alternate Launcher for 32bit Firefox

Description:
Alternate Launcher for 32bit Firefox on Multilib Systems
If you have both 32bit and 64bit Firefox installed, the standard
/usr/bin/firefox launcher will run only the 64bit version. This
launcher allows you to choose to run the 32bit browser by running
/usr/bin/firefox-32. Please be sure that all Firefox instances
are closed before running this launcher.

[JohnMichael]

I used some kind of Nwrapping now. Actually with that I can now use Flash on 64 bit Firefox. Unlike before when I was tied to using Firefox 32 bit. But still can't use Java yet. I have a bigger problem (http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=159709) in Fedora anyways to deal with then to be worrying about a Java Plugin right now.

WORKED LIKE A CHARM .....
thanx leigh :)

[lphilosophy]

Got it to work, though I have questions marked by "==>" If an expert could chime in, much thanks in advance

How I did it:

Preface

I already had the following: livna repo/key, adobe repo & lash-plugin, firefox.i386 . Also, I had previously attempted to install Sun's jre via .bin tarball method (following instructions from www.fedorafaq.org for FC6, which failed to build the plugin). I had previously found that 32 bit firefox will launch from the GNOME panel (htmlview) by simply removing all versions of firefox before #yum install firefox.i386. In other words, if only the 32 bit version is installed, then clicking the icon just works. Final thing to mention: I'm a dinosaur who uses vim from the command line (I'm fairly paranoid about root). So this is what I did

I noticed that livna is now called livna-32. From previously, I have livna.repo which has more mirrors. I _really_ want yum-updatesd to NOT break, because of previous bad experiences. I have linva.repo disabled for that reason. I feel better to see the restricted list of packages the repo applies to, but I'm no expert, so:

==> big question: Is there any chance of entering dependancy hell using default automatic yum updates with the above repo setup? For example, are there any packages I should not allow to update automatically?

==> flip side: if the lines in fedora32bit.repo are set to "enabled=0", will it break yum-updatesd?


..continuing:

Step "1.b/2"

# yum install firefox-32 compat-libstdc++-33 (This got the 32 and 64 bit versions of the compat package)

Step "2"

Downloaded the *rpm.bin from Sun's site. http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

# cd /home/user/Downloads/
# sh ./jre*rpm.bin

-- space space read read (uh.. who would argue with Sun??) then type "yes"]# rpm -q jre
jre-1.6.0_02-fcs
# ln -sf "$(rpm -ql jre|grep plugin|grep ns7/|grep \\.so$)" /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Step "3" -- no need, already had it

Step "4"

# yum remove totem-mozplugin
# yum --enablerepo=livna install mplayer.x86_64 mplayerplug-in.i386 mplayer-gui.x86_64 mplayer-doc mplayer-fonts

--> NOTE: my livna.repo is disabled by default, had to enable it for the above install (which installed 32 and 64 bit versions of mplayer-doc)

-- Lesser question: why both mplayerplug-in and mplayerplugin-in.i386? Don't they both point to the 32 bit version?
-- Lesser question#2: why does Leigh keep both the 64 and 32 bit versions of the plugins and firefox? Why would anyone need both?

Step "5"

# yum --enablerepo=livna install xine xine-plugin xine-plugin.i386 xine-lib-extras-nonfree

Step "6"

ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.5/plugins/

-- I was trying to find a clever/elegant way for bash to find the most recent firefox, but # rpm -q firefox | perl -e 'print(chop(chop(chop(chop($_)))))' didn't work. (Wanted to cut the .fc7 from the end)

Step "exit & restart Firefox"

# exit
$ ps -u user | grep firefox
##### firefox-bin
$ kill #####

-- "user" is your main, non-root user. ##### will be a number like 54321, different for every program running on your machine.

>> Start firefox. For me, click in GNOME. Click "restore session". This kill method is the lazy way to return to the tabs you had open. Works for login/logout too

-- in Firefox, location= about:Plugins lists an impressively large & useful list.

-- the jre*rpm.bin apparently lives happily (or simply over-wrote) my previous failed attempt using the not-rpm-bin version


PS Sorry this is long, but A) in case it matters to the experts B) curious if someone knows a better way to link to the most recent Firefox in Step 6

Thanks

PS2 Will packages not listed in fedora32bit.repo be listed under "livna" as opposed to "livna-32"?

[leigh123linux]

Hi ,

==> big question: Is there any chance of entering dependancy hell using default automatic yum updates with the above repo setup? For example, are there any packages I should not allow to update automatically?

I have been running with all the 32 bit repo's enabled ( they are limited to certain packages ) and had no problems from it .


i.e

firefox libgnomeui libbonoboui libgnome SDL fribidi libXv libXvMC libdv mikmod slang aalib enca imlib2 libmpcdec lirc lzo openal portaudio xmms-libs libid3tag xine-plugin mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-doc libdvdnav a52dec faac faad2 ffmpeg gsm lame libdvdread libmad libmp4v2 mplayer-fonts xvidcore lame-libs mplayerplug-in

all the others are excluded .


==> flip side: if the lines in fedora32bit.repo are set to "enabled=0", will it break yum-updatesd?

There will be times that yum-updatesd wont be able to update if disabled ( this is the same if you have livna disabled )

-- Lesser question: why both mplayerplug-in and mplayerplugin-in.i386? Don't they both point to the 32 bit version?

one plugin is installed in /usr/lib64/firefox and the other in /usr/lib/firefox so both are needed , I also only use mplayer.x86_64

-- Lesser question#2: why does Leigh keep both the 64 and 32 bit versions of the plugins and firefox? Why would anyone need both?


I prefer using 64 bit but keep the 32 bit for java .

There will be times that yum-updatesd wont be able to update if disabled ( this is the same if you have livna disabled )The update problem I encountered in FC6 happened after I fixed beagle, which meant installing non-Fedora mono and mono.repo. I noticed beagle isn't installed by default on "workstation" anymore. ... Thanks for the tip on livna.repo, I'll enable it again.

one plugin is installed in /usr/lib64/firefox and the other in /usr/lib/firefox so both are needed , I also only use mplayer.x86_64
~snip~
I prefer using 64 bit but keep the 32 bit for java .Just curuious, but functionality-wise, are there any practical differences between 64 and 32 bit Firefox? Why not keep only one copy for simplicity?

.. I'm thinking in terms of anyone new to Fedora, who might also have a slow net connection. The prototypical www.fedorafaq.org audience.

I've noticed that the firefox-bin process uses slighly more processor time now, but I simply assumed that was because flash was working correctly now. I guess I don't understand the benefit of wide processors for applications besides number crunching

[GregLee]

I couldn't get the 64 bit Java plugin from Blackdown working in 64 bit Firefox until today, when I found one or two mistakes I had made previously. As you know, part of the installation procedure is to make a soft link from Firefox's plugins directory to the plugin in the Java directory. I had done that previously as root, but today I tried as just me, and found that I couldn't, because Blackdown had arranged for the directory j2sdk1.4.2 to be installed without read or execute permission for "other". So as root, I said "chmod o+rx /home/j2sdk1.4.2" and then made the link as directed in the document here (http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html) -- that is, I created the directory ~/.mozilla/plugins, then did "ln -s /home/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so" . Now it works.

thanks leigh.... worked on my 64-bit system perfect.

[clearer]

A lot of things are changing with F8 so I suggest this one be closed and a new thread be started for F8.

[mwette]

Something happened w/ recent updates. This has been working for me
but now, I seem to be running x64 version again. Flash is not working :(
Any hints to get going w/ firefox-32 again? -- Thanks, Matt
