I have one dual Xeon machine which I have upgraded from FC2 to FC4 which is refusing to pass the java test at... http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml I have tried both the package nosrc rpms for jre 1.5.0 and the manual installation in /opt. After creating the symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin to jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so I see the following failure when loading the test page (using the open java console menu item in the failed java applet window)... oad: class testvm.class not found. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: testvm.class at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadCode(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.createApplet(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed. at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.getBytes(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) ... 10 more Exception in thread "Thread-5" java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter.showLoadingError(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.showAppletException(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:49: Engine "clearlooks" is unsupported, ignoring I have tried disabling ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.conf and that doesn't fix the problem. A clean install of FC4 on a new Dell laptop on the same network doesn't show the problem. Has anyone else seen this issue and what is the likely cause and fix? Jack ps I have used 'yum list extras' to verify that I don't have a lot of stray rpms installed. So the upgraded FC4 should be close to the clean install FC4 machine in installed rpms. Jack
