Currently I use Konqueror for my web browser in linux. What I'm wondering
is how to get Java support to work. Ive already selected Enable Java
globally and Enable JavaScript globally but it still wont load Java
applets. I'm using http://wild.fiends.com/DCourt/Game.stm as test page for
it because I know how it works/looks in IE5 but no matter what I do in
Konqueror I cant get it to work.

So basically what I want to know is if there is a way and if so how.
And if not is there another web browser for linux that is more suited for
Java? (I believe I tried netscape in the pass and it didn't do any
better.)


Thanks for any help with this and also thankyou to everybody thats already
helped provide answers to my seemingly endless list of questions.

In the configuration for konqueror there should be a tab for Java, set
the path to java to the java command.(e.g. /usr/java/j2sdk1.3.1/bin/java

Try java.sun.com, it has 2 applets that I know work in konqueror

Do you have a jre installed? On my machine, I type this command: java
-version, and the output is the version of java installed on my machine.
Also, I can type this command: cd /usr/java. This leads to the directory
where the jre is installed. Do you have any luck with these commands? If
not, then you probably don't have a jre installed. Try this as well: cd
/usr/bin and then ls | less. Use the space bar to scoll down the list and
look for an entry for kaffe (another jre). When you are done looking,
press 'q' to stop the less pager.

Which distro are you using? You could check the CDs that you have, and it
might just be a matter of installing the correct RPM.

Tim,

I don't know too much about Konqueror, I prefer Gnome and Mozilla myself.
When you open the KDE control Module, and click on Konqueror Browser and
then the java tab, do you see a line at the bottom that says "Path to
java executable?" Is there anything specified in the box? Can you click
on the folder and browse for the java excutable?

Tim,

One last word: I configured Konqueror to use the Sun JRE that I have
installed on my machine, and I was able to view the Java applet that you
mentioned below. You can download the Sun JRE for free here:
www.java.sun.com. Make sure you get the JRE and not the SDK(software
development kit, unless you are interested in Java development). They
have Linux binaries, and they are real easy to install if you follow the
directions. Good luck.

Empathize with your Java issues. Since you're using Mandrake 8.2, I'll
offer the following post (reference below) by <Jim Sculley <niceguy@abraxis.com> posted
in alt.os.linux.mandrake on Fri, 21 Jun 2002....

There are known issues with Java/Konqueror- particularly note his
reference to factors with having Kaffe installed as well...

******************************
***
I. For Mozilla/Netscape:

A. Donwload the JRE 1.4 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

B. Install said JRE.

C. Create a link in the Mozilla plugins directory
(/usr/local/mozilla/plugins) pointing to the proper plugin, depending on
what version of Mozilla you have:

For Mozilla 1.0 or Netscape 6.1
ln -sf/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so

For prior Mozillas or Netscape 6.0
ln -sf/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so

For Netscape 4.x
ln -sf/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns4/javaplugin140.so

II. For Konqueror

A. See above

B. See above

C. In the Konqueror settings, go to "Konqueror Browser....Java" and make
sure that Java is enabled, and that the box at the bottom for "Path to
java executable" points to the proper location, which should be

/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/bin/java

Alternatively, you can create a link to the java executable in a
directory that is on your PATH (such as /usr/local/bin):
ln -sf /usr/java/j2re1.4.0/bin/java

and then just enter 'java' (without quotes) in the text box. If you do
this you will probably want to make sure that the Kaffe RPMs are
uninstalled.
******************************
*


If you're using Mandrake, you really should reference a.o.l.m- it truly is
your "homeplace" for your distro. Hope this helps...
