NikosAlexandris Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 The USGS Global Visualization Viewer requires Java 7 or higher. In my Funtoo box I have: java -version java version "1.7.0_51" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode Isn't this already version 7? How do I get past this obstacle? I currently use Firefox which features (the plugin) IcedTea-Web ver. 1.3.2. I have also been through http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Web_Browsers#Oracle_Java_Runtime_Environment to ensure it was not a "Security" misconfiguration.

0 NikosAlexandris Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 None of the above helped me further. Searching more for available packages, showed icedtea-web-1.4.2. Emerging it like USE="jamvm javascript" emerge -av icedtea-web hinted, among others, a magic message after installation completion saying The icedtea browser plugin (NPPlugin) can be enabled using eselect java-nsplugin. Listing options and current setting revealed the "problem" eselect java-nsplugin list Available 32-bit Java browser plugins Available 64-bit Java browser plugins [1] icedtea-7 [2] icedtea-bin-6 current [3] icedtea-web@icedtea-7 [4] icedtea-web@icedtea-bin-6 [5] oracle-jre-bin-1.7 Setting it to "7", like eselect java-nsplugin set 64bit 1 fixed it and http://glovis.usgs.gov/ runs fine. I don't know, of course, if installing icedtea-web-1.4.2 was necessary at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Oleg Vinichenko Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 yes, this is Java 7 update 51. Strongly suggesting to update to 55 version :) Aslo, please, check Funtoo wiki page. http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Web_Browsers#Oracle_Java_Runtime_Environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted June 10, 2014 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am able to run the USGS Global Visualization Viewer in Chromium. I set up Java and Chromium as described on the wiki page you linked to. Make sure use set the "nsplugin" USE variable when you emerged oracle-jvm/jdk. I had to perform one extra trick in Chromium to get it to work, because when I went to the USGS site, it displayed the Java logo but underneath said "Java not allowed." To fix this, I went to the page "chrome://plugins" and then checked "Always allowed" checkbox next to: Java - Version: 10.45.2 Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.45.2 for Mozilla browsers Then I reloaded the page and the Java applet loaded automatically :) So, to review: 1) ensure "nsplugin" is In USE. 2) It's working in Chromium. I do not have FireFox emerged on this machine to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Oleg Vinichenko Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 nsplugin is automatically set for Oracle Java, we had bug report for it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NikosAlexandris Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Maybe this is worth of an entry in the wiki as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
