Mandriva 2008.0 Powerpack's Firefox 2.0.0.8 comes with the Java
plugin working on my 32-bit desktop, but not on the laptop's 64-bit installation. On the laptop, Java is installed, but I can see no way of creating the usual pointer between Firefox and Java, which doesn't seem to have the 'plugin' file that the 32-bit version has. Anyone know what the answer is, please? |

The last java plugin that worked with Linux 64-bit was 1.4.2 I think. 2008.0 comes with java 1.5.0.11 and 1.6 is available, but unless things have changed the Sun website says not to use these plugins for 64-bit LInux. My system is jusing java (or javascript) where necessary for my purposes. I guess it is calling the jre programs rather than just using the plugin, but I have no real complaint. It might be possible to use ndiswrapper and run the 32-bit plugin, if you really want to futz around with it. I have never used ndiswrapper and don't feel like experimenting with it at the moment, so I cannot help. Cheers! jim b. |

That will allow you to use the 32-bit java pluging with the 32-bit Firefox. Cheers! jim b. |
