JRE on 4.0.1

[Adam W. Lent]

There have not been any other audio problems, logged in as user.  I 
still get audio from Java applets when logged in as root, not as user.  
I have tried all the Java applets available on the java.com web site, 
all fail to display within the browser.  The odd fact is that the 
Konqueror Java Console displays the Java lines executing, with each line 
indicating OK.  Some of the game applets even indicate "game running", 
but the Konqueror browser window continues saying "Loading Applet".  One 
of the games, when loading, says, "Checking Java Runtime Version." 
During this time, the Java Console indicates "Detected JAVA version: 
1.4.2" with a number of additional lines (no errors evident), but the 
Browser window eventually displays, "Java Runtime Detection FAILED. You 
do not appear to have a valid Java Runtime installed!"  Going to the 
java.com home page, the status line on the browser displays Applet 
"DetectJava" started.  The Java Console displays, "KJAS: evaluate 
("doDisplay('1.4.2',"IBM Corporation','Linux','2.6.10-1.ydl.1')"), but 
the browser window never displays the result of the applet.  Btw, the 
machine running is a G3 PowerBook Pismo.  I did remove the "export 
JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6 from the /etc/profile.d/java.sh  I did not put in 
a new line, since I believe the G3 (PPC750) did not require one.  Thanks 
for your help.

If you get audio as root but not as a user, this may be indicative of
permissions problems. Are there any other uses of audio that work only as
root? Also, there is always the chance the particular applet on the web
that you are using for your tests just doesn't like Konqueror in any way,
shape, or form. Can you provide a URL to this applet?

There are many Java applets on the web that won't work with any 1.3.1 Java
because it's so old. Applets that require 1.5 or later are beginning to
appear here and there, too. Therefore, using the newest JVM available for
your platform is a practice that can minimize Java compatibility problems.
For YDL4 (including 4.0.1), the Java that should currently be used is IBM
Java 1.4.2 SR1a, unless you would like to take your chances with GCJ.
