Google’s Chrome browser (with Java induced hiccup)
by Indiangeek on Dec.09, 2009, under Linux, Tips n Tricks
I had some problems with the newer releases of Firefox. And Google just enabled extensions for Chrome browser. Time to switch. And boy, am I happy!! It renders the websites much MUCH faster than Firefox, imported all my bookmarks, and most importantly, search keywords, from Firefox.
I did face one problem though. On my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS laptop, it didn’t support Java out of the box. Flash worked fine, but no Java.
However, found the fix pretty easily on the web. You need to do the following if you are facing this problem:
sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
After this, restart Chrome, and voila, Java is working fine.
