@jpeps, someone said: "I can find JavaScript, but not Java." I was just responding to that. You seem a bit touchy with me, lately...

Semme: Not entirely sure why you moved this; my 'issue' isn't really security-related.

See my post in the original thread here. (I posted while you were moving the discussion, apparently.)
Semme wrote:This with the Asterisk!s`jre-1.7u13-i586.sfs loaded. NO problem..
That page still doesn't work for me, but this page does:
http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

As far as I can tell, I have all of the necessary symlinks (TheAsterisk!'s package actually appears to create them for ALL possible Mozilla browsers, including the Ice series), and I even briefly changed the Java console to show, rather than hide (as the Java website advises). Same results as above.

(Edit: Okay, that's weird. I just checked http://www.java.com/en/download/install ... detect=jre again, after posting this, and NOW, it's working. :shock: )

Nooo.. but it's not about Flash either. At any rate- good to hear you finally got it.

I'm surprised it only decided to start working because I posted about it. :mrgreen:

OP Updated.
Java released a patch for 7u13 release, which is numbered 7u15

No 6uX release, as it has reached End of Life.

The mystery of why Java plugin sometimes works in Seamonkey and sometimes doesn't https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754622
Bug 754622 -
Summary: [linux] Oracle/Sun Java jre1.7.0_04 and later does not work in SeaMonkey
Common on Linux,. Importance P5 Major but nobody seems to be able to fix the damn thing and they have been at it for months. Works fine on Firefox with latest Java 7 Update 15 but now will not work for me under Seamonkey again. When it did last week. Yes plugin is in the right place but it is marked as "Invalid" in pluginreg.dat. The suggested workarounds in the Seamonkey open bug report (including disabling the blocklist) don't help in my case either.

Seamonkey just marks the plugin as invalid then you are stuffed.

Code: Select all

[INVALID]
/usr/java/jre1.7.0_15/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so:$
1360964494000:$
Doubtless it will work for some (as it did for me with 13) but not for others.

In Firefox 19 the exact same plugin works and is marked

Code: Select all

[PLUGINS]
libnpjp2.so:$
/usr/java/jre1.7.0_15/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so:$
:$
1360964494000:0:5:$
<a href="http://java.sun.com">Java</a> plug-in for NPAPI-based browsers.:$
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.7.0_15:$

Gets stranger. Just installed 5.4.93 Precise beta - Installed Java on it and this time it works with the pre-installed Seamonkey 2.15.2.
