I'm still setting up my new Lenovo Thinkpad W500 as my main developer/demonstration environment and, as such, needed to install a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in order to run applets etc. such as the Domino WebAdmin application.
I'm running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 ( aka Lucid Lynx ), with a 64-bit kernel; uname -a reports: -
Linux dmhw500 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Having downloaded the IBM JRE ( ibm-java-jre-6.0-8.0-linux-x86_64.tgz ), it was a simple matter of extracting it into, in my case, /opt/IBM as follows: -
cd /opt
mkdir IBM
cd IBM
tar xvzf ~/Downloads/ibm-java-jre-6.0-8.0-linux-x86_64.tgz
Having done this, I then needed to configure Firefox 3.6.3 to use this JRE; that was a more tricky operation.
In the end, it was a relatively simple matter of creating symbolic links for TWO of the JRE's plugin files into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory: -
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /opt/IBM/ibm-java-x86_64-60/jre/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so .
ln -s /opt/IBM/ibm-java-x86_64-60/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so .
Having done this, the command ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins returns: -
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 2010-06-08 12:28 libjavaplugin_jni.so -> /opt/IBM/ibm-java-x86_64-60/jre/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2010-06-08 12:33 libnpjp2.so -> /opt/IBM/ibm-java-x86_64-60/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
Having done this, the Firefox special URL about:plugins lists the Java(TM) Plugin 1.6.0 along with the usual suspects, and the command: -
cat /home/hayd/.mozilla/firefox/63a743op.default/pluginreg.dat
returns: -
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0:$

As they say, the job's a good un'
Geeking in technology since 1985, with IBM Development, focused upon Docker and Kubernetes on the IBM Z LinuxONE platform In the words of Dr Cathy Ryan, "If you don't write it down, it never happened". To paraphrase one of my clients, "Every day is a school day". I do, I learn, I share. The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent IBM’s positions, strategies or opinions. Remember, YMMV https://infosec.exchange/@davehay
