Firefox java problem with Ubuntu 8.04 Solved!
April 30th, 2008
I’ve been struggling with lava support for Firefox after upgrading from Ubunut 7.10 to 8.04. All I had to do was to remove the package called icedtea-gcjwebplugin. Now, I don’t know my way around lava anymore, but at least it did the trick. Worth a shot if you have problems.
Update:
John has some more information on this issue if the above didnt do the trick:
I also needed to link to the new plugin….
cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/plugins$
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Thanks John!
