Btw, how can you tell konqueror to use Blackdown's plugin?

Check the settings under Konqueror Settings - Configure Konqueror - Java/Javascript, especially enable Java. Konqueror is not using the Mozilla plugin, but the standalone java executable somehow. I think for me it helped to put the full path /usr/bin/java into the path field. And activate the java konsole for debugging, if it doesn't work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot: putting the full path to the java executable worked for me too.

Firefox crashes when I try to visit the link above. I didn't have konqueror installed, but it seems to work fine for me too. So, perhaps the bug is in firefox. I didn't suspect that initially. I guess I'm going to end up filing a bug against firefox. I looked through bugzilla and found several reports about java crashing; none of them related to amd64 linux builds. I did, however, find a couple more URLs that crash firefox (but not konqueror): Bug # URL 296737 http://www.java.com/ 271444 http://finance.lycos.com/qc/livecharts/default.aspx? The first one results in the java vm dumping an error log right before the segfault, which could be helpful. Now, my question at this point is: would it be more productive to file a bug in the Debian BTS or in the mozilla.org bugzilla? Reportbug tells me: *** Please submit non packaging issue (e.g. feature requests) bugs to the Debian BTS and the upstream bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox) and put a reference to the bugzilla bug in the Debian bug report, to ease bug triage for the maintainers. Thank you. *** The mozilla project (still) doesn't have an official amd64 build (and I'm having trouble compiling the upstream source), so it would seem like filing a Debian bug would be more productive.

It's a known Mozilla bug, the OJI code isn't completely 64-bit safe. I have patch which fixes that for older Mozilla versions. I'll update it for recent version and release it when I find some spare time.

Re: 64-bit java plugin (or lack thereof)
Anyway, I tried using make-jpkg on both j2re-1.4.2-02 and j2re-1.4.2-01. Both have the same result -- they immediately crash at: http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/tx.html Can you please try that URL and tell me if firefox crashes for you? Firefox 1.0.4 crashes, Konqueror 3.4.1 works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: 64-bit java plugin (or lack thereof)
Thanks for pointing that out, but why are you not using the Debian packages, that are provided by Blackdown: # java deb ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/java-linux/debian sarge non-free Worked for me, including Firefox plugin, on AMD64.

I don't use java much and if it turns out that blackdown works for pretty much everything except that game I'll see if I can report it as a bug to blackdown. If the game does actually work for you, can you tell me what version you're using? $ dpkg -l '*j2re*' should do the trick.
