Ubuntu Installation :: JRE Plugin Would Not Recognize Swiftfox
Mar 20, 2010
I have a strange problem with Swiftfox. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with Swiftfox 3.6, and OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1). I can not get Swiftfox recognize the JRE plugin. I have a symlink at /usr/lib/swiftfox/plugins/ that points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so and still Swiftfox would not recognize my JRE. The same symlink is at /usr/lib/mozulla/plugins
I have just installed the newest version of ubuntu (10.10 the maverick meerkat) and im struggling installing any programs, wine and vlc arnt appearing on synaptic package manager and anything i try to do in either the command promt or ubuntu software centre doesnt work either. On the command promt when i follow the commands as seen on various tutourials the command promt comes back with an error. VLC example given below.
I installed fluxbox on an Ubuntu 9.10 server installation and then I installed swiftfox. I used to be able to run swiftfox as a regular user but now swiftfox only starts when I type in a terminal
Quote:
sudo swiftfox
how I can run swiftfox as a regular user again? By the way, I also get this problem with firefox.
where's the nautilus app that i want to use to link to the "open containing folder" option within the download menu. For some reason it's as if it's completely forgotten it. After searching for nautilus, i didn't see one single file that looked like it was the main part of nautilus to link to, there was a myriad of files to choose from and i thought it'd be better to ask here and quicker than to try each one out myself.
For those who are lusting for FireFox, there is SwitFox 3.6.3 which is optimized version and had .deb package, Try it see if meets the expection. [URL]
Anyone else notice that the recent updates have trashed Swiftfox? Here's the error message: Quote: MozPlugger: Error: Too many types (32) for handler 22 (application/vnd.sun.xml.writer:sxw:OpenOffice Writer 6.0 documents)
Opera, Seamonkey and Firefox all work fine and if I open Firefox and then open Swiftfox, it's working just fine, so apparently FF handles the OpenOffice, etc., issues for it. It still fails if you have opened Seamonkey or Opera first.
I've just installed 11.3 on my mother's laptop. I downloaded and installed Swiftfox, but there's no evidence of it in the menu. I can double-click the Swiftfox.desktop icon in /usr/share/applications, and Swiftfox runs properly. However, it's not listed in the KDE menu.Is there a way to manually update the menu?I didn't have this problem with the previous version of openSuse on this computer. But I did a fresh install, rather than update to 11.3.
But I couldn't find a modified version of it for Swiftfox anywhere, so I decided to modify it myself. But I'm not 100% sure that I did it correctly, so I thought I'd ask here.
Also, will Swiftfox 3.6.4 be able to use this same profile? I thought it might not because of the new "Out of process plugins" feature being added.
So i downloaded swiftfox and its great. its just not loading downloads with the specified applications when i click them, i.e. opening .deb, .jpg, .txt, it asks me to chose an application (list is empty, so you have to set a custom application)
Yesterday I wasn't able to successful enable JRE in my firefox.This is what I did ,
I downloaded the rpm from the file and installed it in /usr/java Code: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin This successfully installed Firefox JRE in my system now in order to make firefox know abt it
I went to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and Code: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so as said in the instruction manual. Still firefox isn't able to recognise the plugin.
I enabled java and flash in Iceweasel 3.5.16 via the related/required packages in the repository so flash-nonfree (or whatever it is) and the related java one. I didn't install either flash or java manually so no plugins that way. Flash and java works in Iceweasel. If I wanted to try Swiftfox, what do I do? I have it installed but both flash and java don't work.
I assume that one has to do the manual installs for both so go to both Flash and Java official sites and install the related Linux package. Will this conflict with my Iceweasel-based java/flash packages? Or do they go in separate directories and files? I don't want a conflict or interference and thus, don't want to break what's working.
Swiftfox does not have default file handling, and thus I cannot open files from the download menu. When I go to choose the program I want to open the file with, it just takes me to my Home folder in Nautilus. I have no idea where to find the programs I need (Image Viewer, Open Office, and Movie Player are the main ones I need).
i have this-for me huge problem- xfce4-xkb-plugin won�t save my keyboard setup and it won�t show after startup in xfce4 panel (xubuntu 9.10): I did this:
1) i added in /etc/default/console-setup needed keyboard layouts (de,hr,rs)-because i know that after restart xfce4-xkb-plugin will not memorize my layouts.
While using Rhythmbox this morning, I was greeted by a blunt and undiscriptive error message:
Code:
Plugin Error:Unable to activate plugin Cover Art.Going to the plugin page, I was supprised to find that most of the installed plugins would not load. Without any info being offered in the player, I looked on line. Many people had problems with other plugins, and most of the time it was a problem with an uninstalled python package. But I checked on this site and I found that I had all of these packages installed. (Well, the python ones at least, to check all of them would take forever.)

After finding no help there, I ran rhythmbox -d to debug:
Code:

I have 4 hard drives in my computer...2x 74gb raptorsand 2x 640gb caviar blacksi just wiped windows 7 from the first raptor to install linux... now when i try to install linux it tries combining the 2 raptors as a raid (which i don't have them set up for)i just want to install it on my 1st raptor.i disabled the dmraid and that took care of it trying to combine them as a raid, but then it won't recognize either of the raptors.so i try gparted to format them. and i succeed.but when i try to install again. it still doesn't recognize the raptors... and only my 640gb blacksso i disconnected the power from the blacks... but to no avail, now no hard drives show up when i'm trying to install ubuntu... i am stumped.sorry if that doesn't make much sense... ask questions and i will be glad to answer them, its very frustrating.

I am using openSUSE 11.0. This OS installation gives firefox 3.0.5 Beta. I had installed new version of firefox at /usr/local/bin/firefox. I had placed link of this firefox at /usr/bin using this command ->
Code:
linux-snvz:/usr/bin # ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox firefox My older firefox contains the flush plugin. So i can easily played ..... video's in my browser. But now my new browser saying that it doesn't have flash plugin. I was tried to install flash plugin once again.
[Code]...
Even after installation also my browser is again without flash plugin.
I had a motherboard 'POP' and die. I replaced it, the CPU, and ram along with a new PS. Then the IDE CDROM always read 'zero' for any media placed in it, so I bought a new USB DVD/CD do-all drive (LG G0 The system was desktop Dual (sic) Boot with WinXP. The XP would boot from the GRUB, but no Ubuntu. I used >find /vmlinuz and got H0,6, right where it always was. But I could not get it to boot
So I reformatted the IDE with Winxp (all my good stuff is on a SATA drive that I left out of all this )) unplugged. The Live CD wouldn't find the IDE hard Drive XP had just installed on- same as BEFORE I reformatted it. I tried all the distros I have (Puppy through Slackware, Suse, Sabayon, etc) .
Nothing could find the IDE drive. I flashed BIOS on the new MB-no help. I put Linux on a Flash drive and booted from there- no help No Partitioner can SEE the IDE...but XP runs on the IDE C:/ just fine (ntfs for C:, with 70GB unpartitioned, waiting for Linux) I am at a loss.
As far as I know, if the BIOS sees the IDE, and XP can run on it, the IDE HD is THERE and working. Yet no Linux can see the IDE HD, XP partition, blank partition, NOTHING. even dmesg shows no IDE The boot text shows no IDE in linux, right after the BIOS lists it correctly while booting.
i am currently trying to install xubuntu on an old computer of mine, the problem is that the computer's cd drives are no longer functional but the usb drives are. so i figured i could make a bootable usb and install it that way.I already made the bootable usb and tried to boot the computer using the usb, but it would just load like normal.I continued to search around and found that i could use PLop Boot Manager to force my computer to boot from usb, the problem is that i have installed PLop and yet it will not recognize the usb device.why PLop will not recognize the usb or come up with another way besides PLop for my to install xubuntu.
Last night I booted up and got the black screen, and it would not boot. Can't find your /etc/home/fstab file or something along those lines I did not write it down. I got out my thumb drive and reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10, when I got to the partition phase I did a manual install and instructed Ubuntu to load onto /dev/sda1 /. I had previously partitioned this 160Gb drive with 41 Gb for root and 113 for my /home files and left 6.2 for Swap. Now it sees my second partition as 119 /dev/sda2 extended and Unrecognized. Unfortunately all my files are on that partition and I can't figure out how to tell Ubuntu to configure that partition as my /home . I really do not want to re-install and wipe that partition. Can gparted fix this dilemma? I thought I was being so good by creating a boot partition so that I could upgrade in the future without affecting the rest of my files.
I have a PowerMac G4, and it's either a Quicksilver or a Quicksilver 2002. the ubuntu CD is burned right and recognized with in Mac but not when I hold C or hold Option at boot.
I have an issue that few people are probably going to want to help me with. I'm trying to configure apache on my present system so that I can run perl cgi programs locally. I feel like my perl is developing well, but I've reached a plateau, and wish to go further by learning cgi programming.
The problem is, I can't seem to get any of the example programs to work. After a bit of research, it seems that I need to configure my apache to recognize cgi scripts. I've tried numerous places, but all of the explanations go over my head as I am still a novice linux user. I know how to compile a C program, mkdir, cd, ls, cat ... and then we're stretching my capabilities. I continue to learn every day, and have bought a few books which are helping me get there. I even bought an apache book, but it's not helping me much.
My question: can someone help me set up apache at least to the point where I can run cgi scripts? Assume that I have done nothing further than: sudo apt-get install apache2. I don't even have a cgi-bin dir yet as I don't know where these belong, or how to do a script-alias.
I have 2 hard drives, first drive (hd0) is for data, second drive (hd1) is for the OS's. Windows 7 was installed on (hd1) a few months ago and wiped out GRUB. But today, I decided to go back to Ubuntu. I performed a fresh install of 9.10 x64 to (hd2), GRUB2 works and finds Ubuntu (both the newly installed x64, and the previous x86 versions), but it does not see Windows 7. The only goal I have right now, is to make Windows 7 bootable, once again.
My "sudo fdisk -l" (typing manually, so skipping the Blocks) Device Boot Id System /dev/sdb1 83 Linux -- where x64 9.10 is /dev/sdb2 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sdb5 83 Linux -- where x86 9.04 is /dev/sdb6 83 Linux -- /home /dev/sdb7 82 Linux Swap / Solaris /dev/sdb8 87 HPFS/NTFS -- Windows 7
Things I've tried so far: 1) Automatically finding Windows: sudo update-grub2 2) Reinstalling grub via Live CD (9.10): sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/(where sdb1 - x64 Ubuntu is) /dev/sdb 3) Forgetting Ubuntu altogether and fixing boot using Windows 7 - bootrec.exe /fixmbr; bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
Now, number 3 is interesting, I found out that where Windows is installed, /dev/sdb8, is a logical partition, and cannot be made active (bootable). This led me to try number 4:
4) Updating /etc/grub.d with custom 40_Win7 file, and making it bootable (the GRUB makeactive, GRUB2 parttool command): echo "Adding Win 7 to Bootloader" >&2 cat << EOF menuentry "Windows 7" { insmod ntfs set root=(hd1,8 ) parttool (hd1,8 ) boot+ chainloader +1 } EOF
When I update grub.cfg after trying #4, it gives me the "not a primary partition" error. So now I am confused. Windows 7 was able to boot previously from this very partition, and I don't think installing 9.10 would change a partition type from primary to logical. So, why can't it boot? More importantly, what can I do to boot Windows 7?
