willwinuk Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi, I just tried to update Java from 1.6.0_06 to the new 1.6.0_10, but when I check my Java version on java.com or javatester.org it still says my version is 1.6.0_06. I have tried uninstalling it using 'Mandriva Software Management' but I still get the same thing. I am using the jre-6u10-linux-i586.rpm to install with and it doe's not give any errors. Any ideas please? [moved from Virtual Machines & Emulators by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Can you post the output from: rpm -qa | grep -i jre so we can see what is installed package-wise for java runtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Also the link you provided to javatester.org mentions lots of other ways to check which version of java you're running. Did you try methods 2 and 4, and if so what were the results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I suspect that you are using the rpm from sun to replace a Mandriva rpm, given by the fact that the test is reporting an earlier version . I believe that the sun rpm will not update the Mandriva rpm, Similarly when installing with the sun rpm you have to manually add the link between the plugins directory for Firefox and the plugin you have installed along with the runtime. what is the output of ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 IIRC, uninstall the java-1.6.0-sun-plugin and install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin, and all will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Batson Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Icedtea was in the Main Release repositories for 2008.1, but it appears it is not in the Main Release repositories for 2009.0. I am still using 2008.1. All I see in 2009.0 in Main Release is: java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-0.16.b11.4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm. One would think that the version in Mandriva 2009.0 would be at least as recent as the one in the previous Mandriva release, but maybe not. Here is all I find for icedtea on 2009.0: http://sophie.zarb.org/rpmfind?distrib=Man...mp;st=fuzzyname EDIT: And I don't even see the plugin listed there.
