F9 x86_64 + firefox + openjdk plugin

[jrummy27]

I am on F9 beta which is going well except for the lack of NVidia drivers but I am trying to get the new openjdk plugin going with firefox and am having some issues. If anyone has some insight, please let me know.

I installed java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin. Now when I go to a site requiring java it pops up with:

gcjwebplugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/../../bin/pluginappletviewer. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

I assume that's caused by the following statment from the release notes (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java):

The gcjwebplugin security policy may be too restrictive. To enable restricted applets, run the firefox -g command in a terminal window to see what is being restricted, and then grant the restricted permission in the /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/security/java.policy file.

So ok, I try to run firefox -g, but it tells me to get the firefox debuginfo which I do. Then when I run it again, it tells me

[root@cervantes ~]# firefox -g

Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib64/firefox-3.0b5/firefox

(no debugging symbols found)

So I run the command it gave me but that fails to find anything

yum --enablerepo='rawhide-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/4e/6273aba42b92740838658040586e75716c5a73.debug

Nothing to do

I even installed xulrunner-debuginfo which pulled down about 30 dependencies and still no luck. Any ideas?

Post a bug report to bugzilla.redhat.com please it's pretty important this gets fixed. You can try with selinux off for the moment to see if thats causing it which I think it is.

Unfortunately I've already got selinux disabled I'll file a bugzilla. Thanks

I am on F9 beta which is going well except for the lack of NVidia drivers.

Hi
I tried Fedora 9 Betathe other nite and was unable to install from the sio burned to a DVD. I have a GeForce 6600 GT Video Card and all went well (Anaconda was working away) until I got a notice on my Screen that no Video Signal. I waited and waited but it never returned. I rebooted into Fedora 8 and all is well. Hope that I will be able to upgrade to 9 when it is finally released, but maybe not!

Ok so I got past the first problem which is the error firefox was generating

gcjwebplugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/../../bin/pluginappletviewer. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

upon looking at this error closer I noticed it is looking for /usr/lib64/bin/pluginappletviewer, but no such directory exists. So I made /usr/lib64/bin and symlinked the pluginappletviewer provided by openjdk to that folder. Now when I go to a java site I don't get an error, but the area where the applet goes is blank. Guess I'll keep messing with it, and open a bugzilla about the plugin looking in the wrong path
