Updated firefox to 55 from Mozilla repo, had to uninstall openjdk 8. Running on 7. Help!

**Amlypygid** · 11-Aug-2017, 17:46

So I updated Firefox from the openSUSE repos (Version 52) to the Mozilla repos (version 55)

As the result of a dependency conflict, openJDK was downgraded, and I'm not sure why.
I believe the conflict is listed in the install attempt below.

The current state of my openJDK situation:

To be clear, what I would like is to get back to openJDK 8, as I need it to run various pieces of software (Minecraft if I'm honest.)

Thanks for reading, and thanks for any help you can offer! I love you openSUSE folks!

In your copy paste Java isn't being downgraded, mozilla-nss is.

What does you java --version say from a terminal?

**Amlypygid** · 11-Aug-2017, 21:48

The reason java's not being downgraded is because this is my naive attempt to get back to java 8.
Unfortunately I did not record the original output of the downgrade, I did it through Yast 1-click.

Interestingly, though,

Code:

What does zypper in java-1_8_0-openjdk output?

Firefox 55 no longer support the NSAPI so Java plugins and such as DOA - only Flash was spared.

Allow the downgrade (1) and it should still work.

Doing that downgrade hits Firefox, unfortunately.

I upgraded because I wanted to have multi-thread performance on Firefox.

Is there some chance that a different Priority order for my repositories would be effective?

**Miuku** · 12-Aug-2017, 00:11

It seems java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless has a hard dependency on mozilla-nss 3.28.5 and circularly openjdk itself has a hard dependency on the headless package.

Since openjdk7 does not, do you have a specific requirement for 1.8? Does Minecraft need it?

If not, you could try using 1.7.0 (which you have installed already) and make it the default java with update-alternatives --config java and uninstall openjdk 1.8.

**Amlypygid** · 12-Aug-2017, 00:13

Let me check things and see if Java 7 will do what I need.

Thank you for your help so far, by the way!

**Amlypygid** · 12-Aug-2017, 00:24

Okay. So, I do believe openJDK-1.7.0 will work for my purposes. However, even after reinstalling it, Java's not working at all. java --version still returns

Code:

Unrecognized option: --version
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I am at this point concerned that I may have broken something on my system fairly badly.

Do you have any advice for this situation?

Thanks.
