Java plugin for Google Chrome not detected

Post by liviux » 2015/04/07 11:27:12

Hello everybody.
I have a small problem that i cannot manage to resolve it ... I think i tried everything in the last 10 hours and nothing,yet i miss something.
Installed jdk, latest from oracle 1.0.8_40 and icedtea-web 1.5.2-0.el7 and chrome 41.0.2272.118. I'm sure all of them are 64b version and i'm running a CentOS 7 64 (3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64)
My alternatives --config java shows

Code: Select all

Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*  1           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75-2.5.4.7.el7_1.x86_64/jre/bin/java
 + 2           /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_40/jre/bin/java
1 is from the latest icedtea-web pugin and 2 being an manualy rpm installed java, latest from oracle.
Added environment variables to start at boot. I think i created 4 or 5 symlinks (linking to different java .so from different java folders) in /usr/lib/mozzila/plugins/ and /usr/lib64/mozzila/plugins/, now they are deleted except the one that was created by icedtea-web

Code: Select all

ls /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ -li
72430277 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Apr  7 13:56 libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
In chrome://plugins there was never this java plugin, whatever i tried. Didn't tried firefox and i really don't want firefox, i wan't to stick to chrome.
Thanks in advance

Chrome has dropped support for NPAPI plug-ins. They now support their own Pepper plug-in API instead. I guess the pepper-flash plug-in that comes with chrome is the only chrome plug-in there is. So you have to decide: it's either chrome or java.
