Good afternoon,
I am having a bit of a difficult time getting java applets to open in Konqueror 4.1.0 (within the intrepid alpha3 amd64 release). The result being that I never progress past the "applet loading" dialog.
I had a peek at http://www.konqueror.org/javahowto/ . This provides simple instructions on getting java to work in konqueror. Simply go to settings, java settings, and point to your preferred JVM. Looking at my box, I have a couple to choose from.
frusso@H2SO4:/$ find . -name java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.16/bin/java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.16/jre/bin/java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/bin/java
./usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/jre/bin/java
all of them seem to work (tested with java -version). the system JVM is currently java-6-openjdk.
So I go into konqueror, and examine the default path. It is set to "java". This results in no applets being shown. I change this to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java . This seems to improve the situation. I now have empty boxes with "applet loading" in them. I try each of the 3 JVMs available to me with the same results (applet loading forever).
To test, I am trying the following two pages.
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
http://www.javatester.org/index.htm
Both load successfully under Firefox.
I searched the launchpad bug DB, but was unable to find any relevant looking bugs.
https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=konqueror+java
Has anyone else tried to get Java working in Konqueror under Intreped? What were your results? If someone else can confirm on amd64, I will take the time to file a defect.
Thank you for your time,
Frank Russo
