Try selecting a different kind of java, you can do this at the High/Low detail screen. It's at the bottom.

 

 

 

Weird problem cus I know it works on Ubuntu (7.04)

Quick question, it shouldn't really effect java.

 

 

 

You sair your on linux, but have you installed all your drivers correctly?

look at step 12 thats most likely what you have to do for it to work, make sure you have all the libjavaplugins in the right dirct's

 

 

 

http://www.fedorafaq.org/#java

 

 

 

if that dont help type about:plugins in your firefox address bar and make sure java is in the list of things

 

 

 

if none of that helps post back so i can help more if you need it

i did that "about:plugins " i get a table with about 20odd items ALL say java in the decription yet rs doesn't load. At first before i posted here it kept on saying to "click here" to install plugin for java and then i installed but now it just stays black where the game is ment to load, and step 12 on the page was done, i double checked.

er... what shouldn't effect java? everything else is install correctly....

[Bmms]

try uninstalling it an then reinstalling, and see if it works

I have Fedora 6 on my computer and it running fine with RS. Just make sure that you put java file into plugin folder under Firefox folder.

A driver related problem shouldn't really effect java. I just know from a personal experience that bad mother board drivers / outdated BIOS caused java to go wacko, but I've only heard of this a few select other times. I was just curious if you had.

http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting <-- are the instructions from javas site but id figure id make it easy so you can copy past please look thre if you have any error or anything

 

 

 

http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80

 

go there pick the Linux (self-extracting file) filesize: 18.15 MB, on download that to your desktop

 

then pick where you wanna install it i did /etc/java, so using etc/java do the following commands to allow your self to write to the folder

 

 

 

fo you have root privileges

 

su -

 

 

 

so you can right to the /etc/java folder

 

chmod a+w+x /etc/java

 

 

 

then drag your download bin file into that folder

 

 

 

then do this to go to the folder

 

cd /etc/java

 

 

 

do you can use the bin file

 

chmod a+w+x ./jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin

 

 

 

to run the bin file

 

./jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin

 

 

 

go through that after thats done delete the jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin file

 

 

 

then you need too find your mozilla file mine was /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

 

chmod a+w+x /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

 

 

 

then

 

cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

 

 

 

then to link the libjava to the firefox plugin folder do this

 

ln -s /etc/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

 

 

 

then close your browser, restart it then see if it works

 

 

 

 

 

you might have to look for some the folders im going to assume you are using gnome, and there is a folder search thing built in so use that to find the folder you need

 

 

 

sry if all my paths arent right im using ubuntu not fedora anymore so i dont remember what the paths are for it

 

 

 

make sure you let me know if that works

 

 

 

and sry if there is any bad spelling im doing this really fast for you before i go to bed

It does?

 

 

 

On my computer w/ Ubuntu 7.04 it won't work. FF tells me to download plugin.

[Bmms]

i use ubuntu 7.04 also, and most likle you dont have the plugin setup right so

 

go to where ever you installed the java too and navigate in to find the lib file, should be somthing like this

 

plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

 

 

 

thenn terminal and put this command in

 

sudo chmod a+w+x /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

 

 

 

then run this command and make sure you have the right dirct of where you installed the java at

 

ln -s /*PUT YOUR DIRCT HERE*/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

 

 

 

also i assumed you are using jre 1.6.0 update 1

 

 

 

let me know if that helps
