I'd like to run Supermicro IPMI console which requires JRE but each time I get this error in Firefox:
You need the latest Java(TM) Runtime Environment. Would you like to update now?
I've downloaded and installed java on /usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_261 and in terminal I get
# java -version
java version "14.0.2" 2020-07-14
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12-46)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12-46, mixed mode, sharing)
But after restarted firefox I still can not access JRE.
There are some old similar questions here which suggested installing icetea plugin. I did that sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin, but the problem persists. I have also followed this old instructions but it did not work
The official Oracle java test page says:
Starting with Firefox Version 52 (released in March 2017), Firefox has limited support for plug-ins, and therefore will not run Java. Use the Java Control Panel to find the installed Java version. How to find the installed Java version
So I suppose a lot have been changed since Firefox 52 and we need a new instruction if such integration is possible at all. My current firefox is 80.0.1 (64-bit)
Really appreciate your hints to resolve this annoying problem.
Linux Put a symlink to /usr/java/jre<version>/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so in your plugins/ directory.But where is the plugin directly when I run SeaMonkey as an stand-alone download? – Karlom Sep 05 '20 at 14:46
