I have openSuSE 11 64-bit/KDE4 installed on an AMD machine and have
the latest Firefox running. I have installed OpenJava and IcedTea and
want to get it to work in Firefox, more specifically for LogMeIn (it
uses java in the browser to interact with the remote machine, since
Linux distros arent supported).

I have 10.3 installed (32-bit) and LogMeIn works fine, but I want to
retire 10.3 and move to 11 completely. After I sign in to LogMeIn,
and click to access the remote machine, sometimes I get an image of
the remote desktop painted on the screen (which means java isnt
loaded), but if I continue to click the hyperlink to access the
machine, I can see while running "top" in a console, I can see that
java wants to run, but it looks like the path is wrong. If I compare
this to the 10.3 install, java continues to show it is running in
'top".

I checked, "about:plugins" in Firefox and it shows OpenJava. I'm sure
everything is installed, but maybe the plugin path is wrong? Or the
path to the JDK is wrong? Or both?

Does anyone have 64-bit Java and the 64-bit Firefox plugin running? If
so, can you share your experience to get it running?

Thanks!

BTW - I do not want to run the 32-bit Firefox/Java/Plugin as I have
read in an old openSuSE post/FAQ . . . Thanks!

I'm running 64 bit with Firefox SUSE/3.0-0.2
java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin-1.2_b09-10
java-1_5_0-gcj-compat-1.5.0.0-65.1
java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.2_b09-10
with no problems.
All I did was to enable java in Preferences, Content.

Yep - mine's enabled in Firefox too, but it
doesnt seem to mean anything. I still think
there is an issue with the plugin, as it resides
on the partition - or should I say a lack thereof
of where it should link to.

/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 should be a link to
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.2_b09/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

But presumably this is correct otherwise about:plugins would not give
details of java.
