Runescape won't work

Reality · #1 30th September 2010, 01:36 AM

Says my JRE isn't installed, meanwhile I just replaced it with the newest one, and I had the right one last time too.

Help please ^^

Hey Reality, I play runescape too, but I have to play in safe mode.

Heres how to download "Java Runtime Environment" (Not JDK)

1.) Download from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

2.) Install the ".rpm" version

3.) After Download, open a terminal and put

Code:

sudo sh jre-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin

3.) Let it download and select "Yes" for everything

4.) After it is finished installing, Firefox will revert to JDK, but you need JRE. So in the terminal put in

Code:

 sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 20000

Hope this Helps!

Have Fun,

Linux Nut

Code:

[brian@brian ~]$ sudo sh jre-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for brian: 
brian is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

Oh, sorry, propably should have told you about sudo.

Ok, heres what you put.

Code:

echo 'loginname ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

Where 'loginname' is your user account.
Use 'ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' if you don't want to be prompted a password.
If you are prompted for a password with 'sudo' it is the user password, not root.

So for you, it will look like this....

Code:

echo 'brian ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

Hope this helps!

Sorry but where and how do I put that >.<

Linux Nut · #7 1st October 2010, 09:15 PM

Ok, heres what you do

1.) Open up a terminal

2.) type in the following. (You can copy and paste this if you like)

Code:

echo 'brian ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

This code will put you into the sudoers file. When you use sudo, it will ask you for a password. This password is what you use to login into fedora with.

When you install Java, you will also have to put the location of it's directory. If it is in your downloads, it will look like this.

Code:

[brian@brian ~]$ sudo sh /home/brian/Downloads/jre-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Keep Asking if you have any questions!

Does OpenJDK not work for you?

Reality · #10 3rd October 2010, 05:33 PM

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

Its an opensource implementation of Java, seems to work fine with Runescape here.

Reality · #12 13th October 2010, 06:30 PM

openjdk worked.

sorry I wasn't on lately, been testing my old acer out and stuff with gentoo.

Thanks.

I did all this, but firefox still insists that java is not installed.
