Hello,
sudo update-alternatives --config java gives:
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
+ 3 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java
Note: I downloaded the jsdk 1.4 and packaged it on a deb, then dpkg -i
it.
When I ran sudo update-alternatives --all, it showed me the same as
above for java.
I'm running Gutsy, kubuntu 32bits.
The only thin I had to do to fix the problem was the creation of a link
between the firefox plugins and the alternatives. So, I don't thing the
problem lies on the alternatives itself, but on the missing link in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ that points to /etc/alternatives.
Here is the output of my machine, from which I gave you the info:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so
There are 3 alternatives which provide `firefox-javaplugin.so'.
