Ok, I'm going to get this thread back on topic.

Icedtea-web seems to interfer with openjre here. Nixnote requires jre (or jdk) and when i just have openjre installed:

root[rich]# slapt-get --se jre 
openjre-7u40-x86_64-1dj [inst=yes]: Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment.
root[rich]#

nixnote starts and runs without problems, but of course java doesn't work in Firefox. So I install icetea-web from the repo:

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get -i icedtea-web

and nixnote no longer runs. Typing nixnote into a terminal I see the Icedtea Web splash box flashes on and i get the following error in the terminal:

And java doesn't seem to work in Firefox either

Everything works if I install openjdk and icedtea. Something must be wrong with openjre

openjre and openjdk are running fine here on firefox in a real 32bit installation.
For midori: seamonkey-solibs is a dep for openjre, openjdk to run on midori.
I installed seamonkey-solibs. Then java (openjre, openjdk) and applets run fine on midori also.
I installed also nixnote and is running.

Please do more tests for openjre and openjdk on midori and firefox.

nixnote works fine with openjre here on x86_64.

How can we best test it? Just by browsing in midori or firefox, and noting which of openjdk or openjre is installed if there are crashes?

For the earlier crashes I posted about, it was jre not jdk.

I suggest moving this discussion to the other thread, where it may attract more notice. Perhaps someone could answer there about what sort of testing would be helpful, in a way that intermediate users will understand?

Tests can follow these steps.
Install openjdk.
Open midori and firefox and using applets can check if java is working. (e.g.Electronics Demonstrations applets)
Then install openjre (which removes openjdk) and do the same.

This is useful also test java

My apologies. I found out that I had a "non Salix sanctioned" jre package installed. Once I uninstall it, everything is working fine.

Great refresher site of those of us Electrical Engineerings that haven't done electrical engineering in over 20 years.
