I'm running my beloved OpenSuse 11.4 OS with KDE 4. After doing a recent update I lost Java runtime. I have the IceTea add-on installed, but still unable to run java scripts while in Mozilla Firefox 5.0. Prior to the update I was able to run java apps and scripts. I downloaded the lastest JRE 1.6.0_26 and installed it from the terminal emulator using an RPM package. Still unable to run java apps using The official US time (NIST & USNO) and Sun, Moon and Earth Applet as examples.
I have openSuse11.4 x64 and FireFox 6.0. Is there a way to update Java to latest version. Guides given on Java website doesn't work, tutorials found on Google also don't work. I updated to 6u22 but thats it. Firefox founds only 6u22.
my own fault really,just dived in to do the update and did not back everything up. I have three disks in my machine one winxp for games , one was suse 11.2 and added lately one for ubuntu. added the ubuntu disk installed and this replaced the grub loader, still gave me all my previous options but does not look as nice as the suse one.so I did update on 11.2 and thought would give me the nice one back and still have all my entries. Er no. entry for win and 11.3 but no ubuntu.
I recently installed 11.3 from DVD Am using Ubuntu Lucid Grub2 bootloader as I have several OS's Updated Grub so that the new kernel version 4 would boot but it boots to a command line... What has happened to my desktop?
If you are interested, Java SE 6 Update 24 is available. The Check Java Version link in my signature will tell you if you are up to date or not. The Update Java Version link in my signature will tell you how to obtain and install the latest version. The 32 bit version install directions are on the left side of that page and the 64 bit instructions are on the right side.
Just remember to remove the current version before installing the new one as it says in the instructions. The remove instructions are below the install instructions. Also, in Step 9 - "Now you'll want to tell the system, that there's a new Java version available." See the note below it that says if you get an error upon entering the command once, enter it a second time. I have to do that and sometimes forget. Just thought I would mention that. These instructions are already setup for version 6 update 24, but they can be modified for any update and they will work. I have been using these instructions for a couple of years and they work.
I was working on something important in 11.2 and did a "zypper up" in the terminal in the background. I wasn't paying that much attention to it, I believe it was an update to 11.3. After returning to the computer after about one hour the windows were behaving strangely and the machine wasn't very responsive. I decided to reboot. Now at login I have neither mouse nor keyboard. I have switched the keyboard to PS2 model, no difference. If someone could help me with booting to run level 3 from the grub menu perhaps I could change some settings there to make everything work. I really regret doing the update. It would be very important for me to be able to get back in to machine with spending as little time as possible on this. Could I reverse the update? This machine is very important for me and my family for their daily communication, but currently I have very little time to fix this. My quick fix was to install Kubuntu 10.10 so I could resume working, but I would really need to get back in to 11.2.
I'm using 8.10, but wanted to upgrade firefox to the latest version, so I downloaded the tarball from their website and compiled that. FF 3.6 works fine, but I havn't been able to get my flash or java plugins to work since.
Installed a security update for samba tonight via Opensuse updater.Now, when trying to access my home network an authentication box pops up (never used to)Asks me to enter authentication for my home network.I enter my username and password and hit enter. After a few seconds the authentication box pops up again askingfor the same indicating I have entered the wrong username / password combination (which I know I have not).
I use openSUSE 11.4 64 bits, KDE and FireFox 5.0. I regularly update. When trying to reach my bank, I get the following error: Code: icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window. Is there anything I can do to remediate ? Does IcedTea everything that Java does?
I updated my computer Wednesday (01-20-2010) and excluded three mesa... files and one xorg... file. I had recently read that people were having problems with these particular updates and I wanted to address them separately (to isolate any problems I may have). I think I may have screwed things up by accidently including the libdrm file. This file was previously missing for the mesa updates. The update I did included several plymouth... files also (don't know if it matters). Now I have a black screen with a cursor, after the fedora (charge) logo completes.
If I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 I can get a login prompt. I logged in and tried to go back and update (as root) the four files I had excluded, hoping to fix the problem. Now I am getting the following errors during the yum update. The first two lines are repeated several times. I can't scroll back to see what's at the beginning.
from the links I have read it seems like you have to manually download the lastest sun java from sun.com and then excute some commands to get firefox to use sun java rather than openjdk.It seems stupid having to update sun java manually. so is there a repo for it so i can update sun java with yum like all other programs?
If any one is interested, the new Java version 6.21 is out. I followed the instructions in my sig. and changed where it mentions ver 20 to 21 (jre-6u21-linux-x64.bin) 64 bit instructions are on the right side of the page and 32 bit instructions are on the left.
There is a new java update for security. I checked my java version here: [URL] and it said I have v. 6.20 installed even after unsuccessful trial to install their linux package following their vague instructions I think I followed well. What do I do?
I have recently updated my system (10.10, standard gnome with nivdia-drivers and compiz) and after a reboot I can't start conky, which usually starts on boot. Starting conky gives me:
I want to install java 6 update 18.Mine is 64 bit Ubuntu OS.I have downloaded jdk-6u18-linux-x64.bin file from sun.java.comBut I don't how to install .bin file in ubuntu.Before that can i use above file to install.
When I try booting windows from grub, I get nothing but a black screen, and blinking cursor. I have succedeed in locating the issue - when I have updated from 9.10 to 10.04, grub asked where he was supposed to install itself - apparently, this does bad things to NTFS boot sectors.
I've tried the testdisk fix, that apparently solves the problem for most people, to no avail. I tried recovering through the Win7 disk too, and, eerily, that only succeded in killing the mbr too, forcing me to reinstall grub from the livecd.
sudo fdisk-l says this:
Code: Disco /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 byte 255 testine, 63 settori/tracce, 121601 cilindri Unit = cilindri di 16065 * 512 = 8225280 byte3
I have had such good sucess with Ubuntu that this took me by surprise. Last week after an update I was suddenly without sound in Karmic Koala. Fortunately. I also have Lucid Lynx and the sound is OK there. I really gave it a dedicated try but was unable to get any sound.
I have a problem with sound. I have 2 boards that I can select from 1 internal 1 external for Ham radio. I was on a program that I was trying to get updated Fldigi. And now I lost the sound. My bad I now know. Here is a picture of what I see when I go into the System/Preferences/Sound
On Lucid after yesterday's upgrade to Firefox 3.6.14, Java isn't working properly.On a website that I often use, the navigation buttons are appearing erratically - either not at all (just white spaces) or some are present but others are not. They work perfectly with Chrome.I have sun-java6-jre, sun-java-bin and sun-java6-plugin installed, and the latter is enabled in Firefox.
I did a clean install of 11.04 and then installed the updates it prompted me to. After restarting I was missing metacity and when I checked in synaptic I didn't have gnome installed. Here's the error message I got when I tried to install gnome (and dependencies):
after giving me no problems whatsoever (currently 10.04 Lucid Lynx) I lost wireless connectivity on my laptop after the following updates were processed yesterday:
Commit Log for Sun Jun 12 16:18:28 2011 Upgraded the following packages: dkms (2.1.1.2-2fakesync1) to 2.1.1.2-2ubuntu1 flashplugin-installer (10.3.181.14ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 10.3.181.22ubuntu0.10.04.1 flashplugin-nonfree (10.3.181.14ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 10.3.181.22ubuntu0.10.04.1
[Code].....
but as it all worked fine before and this was just an update not an upgrade I suppose drivers etc are all OK anyway.
Also, rfkill showed nothing was blocked to need unblocking, and ifconfig gives a permissions error
I have a wired connection operating without any problems at all.
