Java browser plugin problem

I follow this guide EXACTLY: ‘How do I download and install Java for my
Linux computer? - 1.5.0, 6.0’
(http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm)

I get this message when I try to install it: “package jre-1.6.0_10-fcs
is already installed”

I make sure it’s not installed in YAST. I search for “jre-1.6.0_10-fcs”
using find files/folders and I can’t find anything.

I’ve had this problem for some months now and I’m dying for a friendly
person to help me out.

Why not install it with YaST? It’s in the ‘non-oss’ repo. If you don’t
have that repo added just go to YaST>Software Management. Then go to the
repositories menu. Choose to add a repository and then choose the
community repositories option. There you should find the correct
‘non-oss’ repo for your version of openSUSE. Once it is added hit accept
and then in Software Management search for Sun…

That was my first try a couple of month ago but it didn’t work. I’ve
tried it over and over again. I don’t get that to work. I install it, it
is installed, but when I trie to play a Java game on internet it doesn’t
work. I think the problem lies in that when I try to install Java
manualy it says it’s already installed. Any more suggestions. Thanks for
the help, it’s realy needed for me not to blow up.

Are you using Firefox? Typing
PHP code:

about:plugins

in the address line will tell you if firefox has found java. Perhaps it
is installed ok but firefox is not looking in the right place?

Have you had a look at’here’ (http://en.opensuse.org/Java) and ‘here’
(http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Sun’s_Java_on_SUSE_Linux)?

“about:plugins” gives me some plugins but not Java. My guess is your
guess that Firefox can’t find it because even “Find files/folders” can’t
find it. I’ve checked the links you sent. Maybe if there is someway of
deleting it through the terminal so I can install it fresh? Ideas?

Thanks for all the help by the way.

Hi. I have java and it works fine. I searched for the file
“jre-1.6.0_10-fcs” but could not find it. You want to make sure you have
the java-1_6_0-sun-plugin package installed from YaST as well as the
java-1_6_0-sun package.

Are you using a 64 bit machine, there seems to be problems with that.

Try typing java -version in a terminal, does it show java is installed?

I’m quite sure I have a 64 bit machine.

When i type “java -version” I get

“Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot™ Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode”

Can this help us in some way?

Tanks a bunch for helpin.

I had just installed a new version of nspluginwrapper using the terminal
and uninstalled an older one using YAST when everything came to a sudden
halt. When I tried to reinstall Java; the browser plugin won’t let
itself be installed. And now I can’t even get into YAST anymore. What
can this be?

Tanks for all the help.
