Description David Carlos Manuelda 2010-02-19 09:01:18 UTC
I've installed icedtea6-bin because it was a dep on some other package, with X alsa and nsplugin USE enabled.
Running eselect java-nsplugin list shows:
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
  [1]   icedtea6-bin  current

However, inside firefox and chromium when I enter in about:plugins I got:
Plug-in instalados

Shockwave Flash

Nombre de archivo: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Tipo de MIME	Descripción	Sufijos	Habilitado
application/x-shockwave-flash	Shockwave Flash	swf	Sí
application/futuresplash	FutureSplash Player	spl	Sí
Nombre de archivo: IcedTeaPlugin.so
Tipo de MIME	Descripción	Sufijos	Habilitado

As you can see something weird is happening here, and the result is that I have no java-nsplugin working (I tested it with a web which uses java).

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Doktor Notor 2010-02-20 00:03:08 UTC
This is known upstream issue with chrome/chromium... Only works w/ sun-{jre,jdk}-bin ATM, not worth trying with anything else. You can search upstream bugtracker for this.

What firefox version? What icedtea6-bin version? emerge --info?

I attach emerge --info in next post, but I've retried with eselect java-nsplugin set 64bit 1 (the icedtea6 one), and result is it is not detected by firefox.

You need to use icedtea6-bin-1.7 with firefox 3.6 or chromium. It seems you have only ~1.6.2. There's an elog info in ebuild saying that 1.6.2 won't work with them.
Comment 6 Tassilo Horn 2010-03-01 11:15:51 UTC
I use dev-java/icedtea6-bin-1.7-r1 together with chromium-bin-9999 (snapshot as of yesterday) or firefox-bin-3.6-r1, and still the java plugin isn't listed in about:plugins in both of them, and of course java applets like the sun test applet don't work.

So this bug shouldn't be marked as RESOLVED INVALID.  It's still an issue with icedtea-bin-1.7-r1.  I don't have the permissions to reopen the bug, though.

And eselect java-nsplugin shows the icedtea6-bin plugin as selected?

Ah, didn't notice you said firefox-bin. Firefox-bin is 32bit, so a 64bit plugin obviously won't work. Maybe if we packaged 32bit version icedtea6-bin for 64bit somehow...

As for chromium, I haven't investigated it yet, but according to comment 1 here...

You are right.  Here's the URL for tracking that upstream:

Tried icedtea6-bin-1.7.1 with chromium-5.0.335.0 and it seems fine. Can you check?

Same icedtea6-bin version here, but with chromium-bin-9999 (5.0.345.0, 40725), and still it doesn't work (= no applets work and not listed in about:plugins).

and chromium-bin is installed with USE=plugins-symlink ?

Yes, it is.
Comment 15 Andrew John Hughes 2010-03-18 14:48:19 UTC
The plugin works with icedtea 1.7.1 and chromium-5.0.307.11 here.  It's a bit much to expect it to work with versions of Chromium released after 1.7.1, especially when the plugin interface in Chromium is still being stabilised.  Doktor Notor, IcedTea does support Chromium; please don't spread inaccurate information.

Please reopen if there's still problems with 1.8.1

1.8.1 works fine with chromium-9999, now.  Thanks.
