[newbie] java for root
I have installed jre1.5.0_01 and can use it as a user but not root. To do this I added PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/jre1.5.0_01/bin in /etc/profile. Is this correct, what else do I need to do?

If you've followed the instructions from SUN for JRE installation, there should be no any problem. I installed jre1.4.x and 1.5.x and jdk 1.5.x. All of them worked perfectly. For you problem, it might be a path problem, I guess. Are you sure it (java) is in your root path? What do you get if you run which java as root? Bests, Q.H. Result of which java as follows: which: no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin) This doesn't make sense to me as I have installed Java within /usr/local/bin If I remember rightly, there is another line required in /etc/profiles to EXPORT_PATH. Is this right, to what path if it is already installed in /usr/local/bin? Thanks, JW Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [Fwd: Re: [newbie] java for root]
Result of which java as follows: which: no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbi n) I guess this is the reason which means java is not in your path! You'd check where you installed JRE. When java is in your path the command which java's gonna tell you the exact location of java. Similarly what I got is [EMAIL PROTECTED] which java /usr/bin/java [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls /usr/bin/java -la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 4 17:32 /usr/bin/java - /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin/java* I'm not sure what's going on with your /etc/profile. If you have exported the PATH you edited, it's out of my mind why it's not working. I didn't edit the /etc/profile, just simply made a symbol link to put the java (/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin/java) into /usr/bin (/usr/bin/java). I guess this way is more straightforward.

This may help (quoted from the readme file that helped with my own installation). Change details to match your own version no. of course. - Make the shell script executable % chmod +x j2re-1.4.2-01-linux-ARCH.bin (Replace ARCH with the architecture of your system, e.g. replace ARCH with i586 if your on an Intel system.) - Change to the directory you want to install into, e.g /usr/local % cd /usr/local - Extract the contents of the Java 2 SDK by running the shell script % ./j2re-1.4.2-01-linux-ARCH.bin (Replace ARCH with the architecture of your system, e.g. replace ARCH with i586 if your on an Intel system.) - Add j2re1.4.2/bin to PATH, e.g. if you installed into /usr/local % export PATH=/usr/local/j2re1.4.2/bin:$PATH Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] Java VM Problems
I had this problem with Limewire when I upgraded to j2re1.4.2_05 with Mandrake 10.1 Powerpack DVD. My .bashprofile does not have the lines you refer to, it is just the default, but /etc/profile has the following lines which I added, which fixed the problem to which you refer: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin CLASSPATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/lib: export JAVA_HOME PATH CLASSPATH As you can see I changed the reference in JAVA_HOME to point to /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre/bin/ instead of at the symbolic link (/user/java/j2re1.4.2_05). This is probably not the most elegant solution and I am not even sure why there were symbolic links used in the first place. All I know is after I did this, without use of symbolic links, LimeWire worked - no more message about Java VM not installed. I always seem to struggle with symbolic links, and this got around it.

Still getting the no VM found error message. I'm not too worried about LimeWire, as I have the Apollon gnutella plugin installed, but I cant get Apollon to install using the so called All In One Installer, as it keeps tripping up on my version of QT, as it's asking for an earlier version, and it's too much like hard work to retrograde to that particular version. The Apollon RPM from PLF works ok but I cant seem to find it on the PLF site anymore... If I could get the PLF RPM, I'd be ok, as I have giFT and the other plugins already installed, I just need the Apollon GUI!

As it says on the page:
Applicability
This affects the Java Software Development Kit and Java Runtime
Environment on Solaris, Windows, and Linux. \x{201C}JDK and JRE
5.0\x{201D} are not affected according to Sun, but \x{201C}SDK and JRE
1.4.2_05 and earlier, all 1.4.1 and 1.4.0 releases, and 1.3.1_12 and
earlier\x{201D} are vulnerable.
and also:
Fix - Upgrade or disable Java
Sun reports that there is no fix for this threat and no workaround,
and you need to upgrade to newer versions to fix the problem. SDK and
JRE 1.4.2_06 and later and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_13 and later are free of
the problem according to Sun.
So if you are not certain, it is best to get the latest Java plugin and
install that.

JAVA_HOME isn't defined or exported (I'm assuming that you meant JAVA_HOME in the first line), and the JAVA_HOME bin directory is now at the end of PATH. Yes, I meant JAVA_HOME. As for the order of appearing in PATH: The point was to first declare and then export. The order was irrelevant. But thanks for pointing me out. I believe you missed the meaning in the second sentence of the paragraph, here's the original that was posted: Unfortunately that code doesn't have the same meaning. JAVA_HOME isn't defined or exported (I'm assuming that you meant JAVA_HOME in the first line), and the JAVA_HOME bin directory is now at the end of PATH. The problem could very well be from a early version of Java that's expecting CLASSPATH and so the new directory should be placed at the start of the PATH if you want to be sure. Putting it at the end is a better solution, but only after making sure that nothing earlier in the PATH will affect it. Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I could have been - I often skip over things when I reply, it's a bad habit when the question/answer cycle is a long one. The problem as originally expressed was that the java executable was being found but the Swing jars weren't being located. In my experience this was likely because older Java versions would expect the jar files (sort of like .so for C or .pm for Perl) to be specified in a CLASSPATH env variable. Later versions of Java have used JAVA_HOME; Java 1.4.2 (at least) seems happy to use whatever path in which the java executable was found and not to require either CLASSPATH or JAVA_HOME (at least on my current installation). So Java was being found, just not the version of Java that he expected. Putting the new path at the end of the PATH variable would have left him looking at the old java executable and one that might not have been compatible with the newer jar files pointed to by JAVA_HOME. The other point was that once EXPORTed a variable does not have to be reEXPORTed, so the export PATH is unnecessary. Some folks get into the habit of using an EXPORT in front of a variable assignment, I try to avoid it as each variable exported fractionally increases the cost of starting a new shell or command. The only variables that you want to export are those you want the child processes to get. But the main point was that the PATH assignment doesn't need to be reEXPORTed.

[newbie] java problem
Hi all Anyone have some experience in setting up java connectivity? I am trying to run a java utility called varsha - supposed to enable making DVD menus.

But I would do it this way : JAVA=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_5 PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export PATH Unfortunately that code doesn't have the same meaning. JAVA_HOME isn't defined or exported (I'm assuming that you meant JAVA_HOME in the first line), and the JAVA_HOME bin directory is now at the end of PATH. The problem could very well be from a early version of Java that's expecting CLASSPATH and so the new directory should be placed at the start of the PATH if you want to be sure. Putting it at the end is a better solution, but only after making sure that nothing earlier in the PATH will affect it. As a note I'm sure that only the JAVA_HOME will have to be exported as PATH already will be exported. So the final would be: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05 PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Java programming question?
Mkae sure you set your CLASSPATH to the location of your java class that
contains a main. You can either set it in your shell. Or as an argument
to the java vm.
In other words. If I have a class defined as
class Foo {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
};
I compile this class in directory /tmp
The result of the compilation would leave me with a file named
Foo.class in /tmp
To run this program from tmp I would do this:
java -cp. Foo
The output should be Hello World

[newbie] Java and font problem on ML 9.1
Hi all, I have a font problem in java apps running under ML 9.1 which is very hard to explain so I have screenshot showing exactly what I mean. I can send this to anyone who is willing to help. Basically what happens is this. The height of the default java font (Dialog) is not being calculated correctly under ML 9.1. So all components, like buttons, are much higher than they should be. I know that Dialog is just a link which by default points to Lucida Sans and this can be changed in the jre font.properties file. But the strange thing is that if the font of a particular component is set to Lucida Sans directly then the height is calculated correctly and the component looks like it should. So the problem isn't the Lucida Sans font. This can be seen clearly on the screenshot which I made. This only happens on ML 9.1. On 9.0 it works as it should. I have also tried different jre's like Blackdown's 1.4.1 and Sun's 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 beta and they all have this problem. So this is a ML 9.1 specific issue. I have also performed various installations of ML 9.1 on different machines and the results are the same. So if anybody has seen this and can help me I would be very grateful. And don't forget, I can send anyone a screenshot which makes it much clearer to see the problem. TIA, -- Guilherme Cirne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Anne, if you have not already done so launch Remove Software from mcc and select the alphabetical listing and go through all the rpms which begin with j. Depending upon where you got, whose it is, and which version your java rpm could be named jre, j2re, jdk, jsk, j2dk, j2sk and several other variation of the same. It has been mentioned before but if you have kaffee installed installed remove it. It will prevent the proper operation of the java rpms.

Mozilla and Galeon crash when encountering applets; Konqueror doesn't crash, but the applet freezes when it's 29% loaded; Netscape still refuses to even acknowledge that java is loaded. Where to next?? Rich There is a fairly high probablility that you have two java's installed, and a bad link to the *.so going (or, maybe no link at all). Note that this must be a link to the javaplugin_oji.so, copying the *.so to the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory will NOT work--same for mozilla. MozillaHelpAbout plug-ins shows the java that you have installed?? (should be the Sun version) #java -version returns what? (Kaffee should be o.k., but you can uninstall it using the package manager and re-make your path to the Sun version as a last resort--since this is only for web browsers that shouldn't be necessary). I'm trying to determine just what mods the rpm installer made to your directories and links. Everyone else reading this--I recommend that you use the version from Blackdown if you must have a JVM because it is a bzipped tarball and not a *.bin or rpm. If you use tarballs you can have more control of the install. Installing java ain't really hard--honest. 1. Download the bz2 tarball and put it in /usr/local then cd to /usr/local 2. Unpack it with the command tar -xvvIf name_of_tarball (note that is an eye not an ell -- a directory /usr/local/java_version_directory will be created) 3. ln -s /usr/local/java_version_directory/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla plugins 4. Repeat for netscape (note to use the proper plugin directory--moz and netscape are different) I don't use Galeon--you are on your own for that If you must have a real JVM for some 3rd party program (not very likely, but possible) remove Kaffee from your system. 1. open /etc/profile with your favorite editor 2. Add the line: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java_version_directory/bin (this sets the variable PATH to the previous PATH and adds the new line to it) 3. Add the line: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java_version_directory 4. Reload /etc/profile If none of this works for you, I've exhausted my suggestions, but I assure you, it has worked for me. e.

Re: [newbie] Java
How about if one has installed it from the binaries available at java.sun.com? I installed java from there (not a Club member), and linked /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to ~/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so (it installed the binary in my home dir) but if galeon or mozilla comes across any java it just closes (crashes). about:plugins gives: Installed plug-ins Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com. Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.1_01-b01 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in1.4.1_01 then a list of mime types (and under Enabled it says Yes) do i need to use a different version of java?

Anne Dunno (?), not quite sure I understand your problems Anne. FWIW, the 'Club' Mandrake Sun java rpm has been available for quite some time. Updated versions available as soon as Sun releases 'em. I've only used them with Mozilla and Konqueror, mostly 99% Konqueror. I only use java to avoid, like with Flash, error or crashes when I go to some web pages. Otherwise, IMO, both would be banned from the Net (as would M$ users and all virus proliferating proprietary closed source crap). But I seldom get my way ; Still think it's a better way for 'peace on earth', open source that is. At least it'd be auditable and better free from 'welcome to crackers' and soft/hard conflicts as it is now. As such it's possible that you might (ie, auditable) have some hardware problems with java under Linux. Closed source can't possibly be supported, hardware or software. I use Mandrake's Sun java version since I suspect they've done all they can to make sure it doesn't cause conflicts or security holes... even without the source. Plus it's a user error free install. Since you now 'show no plugins for Java or Javascript under either', I believe I'd undo/uninstall your efforts to date, then just install the Mandrake/Sun java rpm. It really does do everything for you, which avoids user bumps in the road. 'rpm -Uvh' should reveal any needed deps, but you might also do it with 'urpmi j2re-1.4.1_01-5mdk' -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Do I need to do anything like that?
