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.
“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?
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 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?
I chosed “* Ignore some dependencies of java-1_6_0-sun-plugin” and now I
can’t use the flashplayer either. I can’t even find it in firefox
“Edit-preferences-aplications” anymore. What is this!? How do I get
out!?
