(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I want to use a website to perform a task, but the website insists that I have Java enabled. Apparently, Wary 5.1.1 Seamonkey 2.0.11 does not have Java, and I can't find it under Add-ons or Extensions. Under the Tools > Web Development headings, there is a grayed out entry for Java Console. It is very likely that I will use this website only temporarily to find out if it can perform this task, and I expect to disable Java afterwards. I don't expect to successfully accomplish this task. Is there a particular reason why Java is not included with Seamonkey? Is Java evil? How do I get Java for SM 2.0.11?

Check if you have jre already: If you get an empty line instead of any path, you're missing the Java Runtime (or is not into the path). Easier solution is this Shino's SFS: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61287

If after the boot with jre SFS enabled you cant see the java plugin in the Seamonkey's plugins list, probably you're missing a symlink (see the instructions in the main post).

Can I add to this thread to say I have the same problem.

I have two web sites which tell me that I don't have jave enabled.
I have java installed for sure but obviously the link is not there.

I created the link suggested in shinobar's tread on the subject but no result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't work in Chromium eirther-irishrm.

Just realized of this, my java plugin is not that file.
Is /usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so pointing to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so.
Which means that probably you need to open the first folder in rox, select that file and drag it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so creating a symlink -relative-. Try this and let me know.

Hi GustavoYz:

My puppies:Slaco 5.3
Lucid 5.2.8

Your link is:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

Shinobar's tread shows:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_27/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Both of mine show:
/usr/java/.........../plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

My java install: java1.6u17

According to that java1.6u17 should appear where the dotted line is but that part of the link is missing.

The other thing I notice is that both you and Shinobar have jre...... while mine is java...... is there a difference?

I have java1.6u17 installed because its the only one that works with libreoffice.

Thanks for your interest-irishrm

Edit: Just found the path:
/usr/java/lib/i368/libnpjp2.so. link to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so.
Working now.

Glad you found it, that part is solved.

'JRE' its an acronym for Java Runtime Enviroment or something very likely, so yes, its the same (also JDK is for Developer Kit, useless if you're not going to program in Java).
