Description David GEIGER 2012-10-28 09:28:45 CET
The Java plugin (Icedtea-web) does not work on some website .
The Java applet does not load and blows the site is not functional.
Firefox says me : "Start: applet not initialized."
I tried with Mozilla Firefox-10.0.9 , chrome and konqueror.



I use Mageia release 2 (Official) for x86_64 and Kernel 3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2 on a 4-processor x86_64.

$ rpm -qa | grep java
javamail-1.4.3-7.mga1
java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.6-2.3.2.1.1.mga2
lib64javascriptcoregtk1.0_0-1.8.1-1.mga2
java-access-bridge-1.26.2-4.mga2
java-rpmbuild-1.7.5-17.3.mga2
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-34.b24.1.mga2
timezone-java-2012c-1.mga2
rootcerts-java-20120628.00-1.mga2
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-34.b24.1.mga2
lib64javascriptcoregtk3.0_0-1.8.1-1.mga2


How reproducible:
As an example on this site:
https://as.photoprintit.com/web/84012167/startClient.do?client=java&type=print

How to make the site Aldi work?

PS: On windows 7 and the official java plugin (jre-7u9.exe),applet java works fine.

This seems to be a recent problem with the latest Firefox updates (unless IcedTea was also updated and I didn't notice). The issue is present with Firefox 10.0.10 and renders many sites using Java applets unusable, including the Oracle "test java is working" one: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

I have installing the official Oracle Java "SE 7 Update 09" "Linux x64 RPM*" on my system and now it's working.

I took the opportunity to make a tutorial on MLO :

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:07:07 CEST
Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
