Running 32-bit Firefox with sun-jre in 64-bit Ubuntu
- by rojanu
I am trying to run juniper networks connect program to vpn into work and it only works on 32bit sun jre. All the things I have found with google failed so far. I can't use any scripts, like madscientists, as part of the authentication I need to provide some random characters from a grid.
So to isolate this 32bit app install to a corner, I downloaded firefox and jre and unpack them to /opt. I run firefox with sudo as Juniper asks for root password.
Here is Firefox plugins folder
/ot/firefox32/plugins# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 00:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Mar 10 23:48 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Mar 11 00:57 libnpjp2.so -> /opt/java/32/jdk1.6.0_31/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Firefox lists sun jre but when check it with "http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp" it either can't detect java or Firefox freezes
Any Ideas?
Thanks
