Ubuntu: Installing Chrome Java Plugin


Question: I've been trying to install the Java plugin for Chrome for a couple hours now,
and I figured it was time to ask people with more experience. I can't seem to
get it working. My current Java version is the 64-bit OpenJDK 1.6.0_24. I tried
installing the IcedTea plugin to no avail. I have Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit installed
at the moment.
When I tried testing if java was enabled in Chrome, any website with a Java
applet would not load (when I disabled the plugin, they loaded, but not the
applet).
I followed the instructions from here: [ Ссылка ]-
plugin-ubuntu-linux
which said to create this script and run it:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0
MOZILLA_HOME=~/.mozilla
mkdir $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins
Note: You may need to change the value of JAVA_HOME so that it correctly points
to your installation of the JDK. 64-bit users will need to change the final
line to:
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins
but this did not work as well.
I just test it in Firefox and it's working. Still nothing for Chrome

Java plug-in is not working anymore on Chrome (versions 45+). From https://
java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml:
NPAPI support by Chrome
The Java plug-in for web browsers relies on the cross platform plugin
architecture NPAPI, which has long been, and currently is, supported
by all major web browsers. Google announced in September 2013 plans
to remove NPAPI support from Chrome by "the end of 2014", thus
effectively dropping support for Silverlight, Java, Facebook Video
and other similar NPAPI based plugins. Recently, Google has revised
their plans and now state that they plan to completely remove NPAPI
by late 2015. As it is unclear if these dates will be further
extended or not, we strongly recommend Java users consider
alternatives to Chrome as soon as possible. Instead, we recommend
Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari as longer-term options.

I've been having the same problem. After digging around for a while, I found
that Chrome is a 32 bit application that does not have support for 64 bit Java.

This means you would have to install a 32 bit version of Java (basically Java
6) on your system. I personally have given up on the venture, but https://
askubuntu.com/questions/110852/can-i-install-a-32-bit-java-in-addition-to-a-64-
bit-version might be of some help.

Alternate install Java for Chrome, can also install icedtea:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
Then link icedtea in to chromium plugin folder thusly
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
and link
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

I have recently hit by the same bug. If you look in your ~/.xsession-errors
file, you possibly see:
/build/buildd/icedtea-web-1.2/build/../plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc:
2072: thread 0x7f08d1365470: Error: Invalid plugin function table.
The bug report is [ Ссылка ]
1025553. A proposed update was released for the icedtea-6-plugin package and
confirmed to work. This should land in a few days for all users.
Meanwhile, you can use a different browser as others suggested, Firefox works
here.
