    From what we can see, the symlink path is linked to

     

    .../ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so*

     

    but instead it should be linked to

     

    .../ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so*

     

    As clearly as we can see now, you should remove JRE 1.4.1 and instead get the Sun JRE 1.4.2 RPM version, install it, and follow the procedures I have described earlier and specificially put a symlink to

     

    {java plugin path}/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

     

    in your Mozilla plugins directory.

     

    The ns610-gcc32 vs ns610 really made the difference as go vs no-go-at-all, say when you are using Mozilla >=1.4 version.

  2. Oops, my mistake, you should try instead

     

    ls -l /usr/local/mozilla/plugins

     

    The -l option will show the path which the symlink is linked upon.

     

    Here is what my output looks like:

     

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        37 Jan 16 16:55 flashplayer.xpt -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt*

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        39 Jan 16 16:55 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so*

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        67 Jan 16 16:55 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so*

    -rwxrwxrwx    1 root  root        21056 Jan 13 14:10 libnullplugin.so*

  3. Ok here comes the issue:

     

    1) You got to know where you have installed Mozilla, if you have installed more than one version, then you must make sure which version you are running.

     

    2) There IS a difference between the symlink path upon

     

    Mozilla 1.0-1.3 vs Mozilla >=1.4

     

    For Mozilla 1.0-1.3, you should do the symlink as follows:

     

    # ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

     

    For Mozilla >=1.4, you should do the symlink as follows:

     

    # ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

     

    The Mozilla comes with Mandrake 9.2 is version 1.4, in that case and for the later Mozilla version you should be doing symlink against the second path above.

     

    For a safe bet, here is the way to do it against your user directory.

     

    $ cd ~/.mozilla
    $ mkdir plugins
    $ cd plugins
    $ ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

     

    Notice the period in the "~/.mozilla" in the 1st line and at the end of the 4th line after "libjavaplugin_oji.so ."

     

    The Sun rpm version of JRE 1.4.2 is only a 13MB+ download last time I remembered, which was two days ago. B)

  4. For your information,

     

    I believe only Java 1.4.2 (but not 1.4.1) supports Mozilla >=1.4, because only JRE 1.4.2 provides the plugin directory ns610-gcc32, which is not found in earlier version of JRE if my memory does not betray me B) .

  5. Strange, JRE 1.4.2 is working for mine. :unsure:

     

    Please copy and paste the response of this command:

     

    $ ls /usr/local/mozilla/plugins

     

    Or, you can do the symlink for your user directory (which works ONLY for your account, however):

     

    $ cd ~/.mozilla

    $ mkdir plugins

    $ cd plugins

    $ ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

  6. Solutions:

     

    1) Well, anti-aliased fonts can be turned on as an compile option. Since older systems do not have Xft2 and fontconfig installed, Mozilla.org is wise to provide a version which can be used by the most number of Linux users out there.

     

    Search Mandrake Cooker sites for the latest build compiled where Xft2 option is enabled.

     

    Alternatively, Mozilla Firebird has gtk2+xft build always available at Mozillazine.org:

     

    For eg.

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...d/releases/0.7/

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...tly/latest-0.8/

    (The latest nightly build for 0.8 branch)

     

    2) Press Ctrl-N in your browser to introduce a new instance, or use the solutions provided by bigscott above.

     

    3) Not really that hard, after install Java rpm from Sun or any other third party source, all you need to do is to make a symlink in the mozilla plugins directory:

     

    For eg. using the latest JRE 1.4.2:

     

    My mozilla directory is /usr/local/mozilla/

    My Java directory is /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/

    I suppose you are using Mozilla version >=1.4 (which is compiled with gcc 3.2+).

     

    Here is how to do it:

     

    $ su
    # cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
    # ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

     

    (Notice the period in the end of the last command)

  7. When we have the choice of what OS to use, it's obvious you can run Linux as you like.

     

    Just sometimes UNIX admins don't have that choice at work.

     

    True, migrating to Linux is better, but sometimes it's not the admins' call to make, but management. :unsure:

  8. Just an update of the User Manual to version 7.0:

     

    Info from newsforge:

    http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03...08/1738212&tid=

     

    StarOffice 7 Manual and User guide

    http://docs.sun.com/db/coll/so7en

     

    AFAIK, the SO7 User Guide is also available in other languages (for what I know, in Traditional & Simplified Chinese). You may try your luck with http://docs.sun.com to see if the manual is available in your native language.

  9. This will get more and more interesting as that 30 day deadline comes closer and closer. 

     

    I find it interesting, though.  I live in Utah, and not once have I heard anything about this case mentioned on the local (well, Salt Lake City) news or read about it in any of the papers...

    Perhaps the reason is that SCO won't be missed. :lol:

     

    Wait, I thought SCO has said something about Constituition, does that worry people from Utah? :unsure:

    You have on board sound AC-97 enabled? Do you?

    May be you can try disable it.
