Re: [CentOS] Confused about Java browser plugin for Firefox

2010-11-14 Thread Przemysław Pawełczyk
Hi,

I missed the most posts of the thread so let me say those few words.

First of all I use Java or OpenOffice.org from producers' websites.
They are always "fresh" and installable in RHEL.

I assume too, that the i386 and amd64 versions work the same way, only
the lib names can be different.

Thirdly, I cannot say now what method I used lately but either of them
worked flawlessly. I installed Scientific Linux (CentOS) several times
without any snags.

So,

1. The latest Java is attached to the latest OpenOffice.org RPMs.
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

2. Java RPM can be downloaded from Oracle page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com

test Java:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

Java directory with Java libs and plugins:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/amd64

I use to place OpenOffice.org in /opt directory. Java is installed here:
/opt/openoffice.org/ure

It must be working as it always worked here. ;-)

Best regards,
Przemysław Pawełczyk

Hi,

A few words on plugin directories.

Typical Linux directory /usr/share/mozilla/plugins does not work here.
The right place for plugins in RHEL amd64, as in my 64bit example, is:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.

I had to find out that because the libnpjp2.so library wasn't placed in
user's ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and what made me so confused
wondering why my Firefox 3.6.11 read the java pages without the
library! :-)

Summing up - the best way to find out what works or why something
doesn't is a "small step approach" - trying to make use of the latest
libs or apps from developers websites - not from the main repos for our
system releases.

Regards

I use fedora i386. After i link the jre plugin file to user's
~/.mozilla/plugins directory, they both work very well.

Hi,

Of course, I only wanted to point to another directories where one
would be able to place JRE and other plugins.

Thank you Lamar, I have spent some time googling and learning the
concepts that you mention. I'm not much closer to a solution to this
issue, but I have a much better understanding of IP networks. The
routing tables and netmask concepts were big holes my my knowledge,
and I'm the better for having invested in this query now that I've
cleared some things up.

Thanks.

You're more than welcome.  I've found your port knocking document useful as 
well; community is about sharing knowledge.  And given my own (quite basic) 
study of Hebrew, I find much more interesting on your site.

CentOS5 supports 31 characters for user names (I tested it). 8 character 
limits for user names was a holdover from some truly ancient Unix 
systems and has been pretty much irrelevant to Linux for more than ten 
years.

There is no reason I can think of to limit user names in Linux to 8 
characters now unless you need to inter-operate account logins with an 
old Unix box that still has that limit.

There are some minor side effects.

For example, from "man ps"
  If the length of the username is greater than the length of the display
  column, the numeric user ID is displayed instead.

On my 5.5 machine I have:
  haldaemon:x:68:68:HAL daemon:/:/sbin/nologin
and yet
  % ps aux | grep -w hald | grep -v root
  684389  0.0  0.1   6680  4640 ?Ss   Oct24   0:06 hald
  684397  0.0  0.0   2108   828 ?SOct24   0:00 
hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
  684401  0.0  0.0   2108   828 ?SOct24   0:00 
hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event0

Excluding minor artifacts like this, long user names work just fine.

In that case:

Funny thing is those are already installed.

However I require a later version of gtk+.

I'm attempting to compile from source.

Hi,

Are you 100% sure that your timezone file (/etc/localtime) corresponds to the 
one Australia/Melbourne?  Try this:

diff /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne 

Besides that, try to see if there's any script within /etc that tries to set 
the TZ variable somewhere as it seems it is trying to set your system time to 
flat UTC.

If I understand correctly, your hardware clock indeed is storing "localtime" 
as seen on the output when you are booting... but as soon as ntpd kicks in, it 
sets the system time to UTC (which is 11 hours behind your localtime). Right?

HTH,
Jorge

Also, try to disable ntpdate with "chkconfig ntpdate off" and reboot the 
machine 
and see if that solves the problem. If it does, then you can concentrate on 
ntpdate...

sounds like a conflict between time zones.a PC hardware clock could 
be set to UTC or local time.  I always set my PC Hardware clocks to 
localtime, and make sure Unix knows it.   darnit, I can't remember where 
that setting is right now.

[CentOS] Does "yum update tzdata" update /etc/localtime?

Hi list.

Does "yum update tzdata" update /etc/localtime or does this need
to be done manually?

This message is useless to solve problem without Linux developer.
Every high load and small trouble machine represents this message.
 It seems hard disk trouble or memory error.

If your disk has write-error happened, retry sequences will be run at,
firmware(in HDD), physical driver(in Linux), Logical driver(in Linux scsi)
and swapd (in application). Over of 120sec of total these retry sequences,
the kernel prints this message in console.

you have to change some hardware (hard-disk, memory, cpu, mother-board.)
HDD errors and memory errors sometimes be fixed in automatically, You can't
reproduce this errors again.

> Reading later release of kernel did not mention this bug.
Upstream/CentOS community will not release this software fix. :-)

[kikino...@babasse:~] $ rpm -qa | grep ^gtk

gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5
gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5
gtk+-1.2.10-56.el5

GTK (Gimp Tool Kit) is a graphic library originally designed for Gimp, 
and needed by a series of graphical applications.

GTK1 (gtk+-1.2.10) is the old version of GTK, needed by GTK1 
applications like XMMS, for example, with all those grey and unsexy menus.

As for the gtk2-2.10.4 package, it's one of those packages that are 
really behind in CentOS. The consequence of that is for example that 
GIMP can't be offered in a version greater than 2.2.

My advice : wait for CentOS 6.0 with a more recent GTK2.

Cheers,

Niki
