The old java plugin libjavaplugin_oji.so won't work anymore for Firefox 3.6 and up. It is still OK for Seamonkey 1.18 and Seamonkey 2.0. Also Firefox 3.5 and Iceweasel 3.5. Only Firefox 3.6 is affected.</p> <p>My post below at<br /> <a href="http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52011" rel="nofollow">http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52011</a><br /> explains what I did to fix it in Puppy 4 Dingo. I just got through fixing this in Macpup Foxy also. In Foxy all I had to do was open 2 rox file managers. In one of em. I manuvered to /usr/java/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so. In the 2nd file manager go to/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so</p> <p>Delete the libjavaplugin_oji.so from the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins folder.<br /> Then drag and drop libnpjp2.so from /usr/java/lib/i386 folder into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins folder and symlink it. Close everything. Go Test your Java. You will get a message that you don't have the latest and greatest. But the plugin is installed. This works for java jre6u10 on up. If any typos. I am still half blind yet. And I am posting on my little Asus with my big fingers.

To get around this boot Foxy into ram off the cd and change the theme .Go to menu-desktop-Chtheme GTK theme chooser and change it from Black-fate to default or one of the other theme and apply then ok .The apps will look very different. After that run the installer and all should go fine. I have had friends do it. After the reboot the installed version will be back to black -fate and everything should work. </p> <p>When I was building Foxy I tried lots of themes and some of theme cause different apps to crash.

I took Foxy to work today and added it to a Compaq laptop and got the same results.

When you wiped the drive it didnt get the mbr . When you ran the installer in foxy it picked that up ,so it thought you where setting up a multi boot system cause 412's grub was still there ,thats why it would only let you have the expert option.You where able to access, or reinstall, it with 412 cause that's what installed it.<br /> I have seen stuff like this before over at linuxfourms.org where people have removed a distro and grub was still in the mbr after they wiped the drive.<br /> I have some friends that are doing installs of Foxy ,when I hear back form everyone I will have a better idea of what happen to you.It may be that things got messed up during your download.<br /> I am posting this link for others to look at that might need help with installing Foxy it is for the puppy 4 I dont think anything has changed for 412 and that is what foxy 2 is.<br /> <a href="http://www.puppylinux.org/manuals/puppy-40/english/how-install-puppy/frugal-installation" rel="nofollow">http://www.puppylinux.org/manuals/puppy-40/english/how-install-puppy/frugal-installation</a> </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/trial-install-of-foxy#post-376 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:51:33 +0000 puponoldlaptops 376@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>I'm gonna burn a copy and try it on a laptop at work tomorrow.

I'm thinking some of the code for Puppy Installer got dropped?<br /> Particularly the grub script? Before the wipe I had 4.1.2 on the drive, but I DBANed the drive to<br /> remove the pupsave and grub from the MBR.</p> <p>p.o.o.l. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/trial-install-of-foxy#post-374 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:40:37 +0000 puponoldlaptops 374@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Hello, runtt21. This was on a wiped drive. I want to spread this Puppy around so if you can investigate and fix that bug I'd be grateful and donate to your cause again for the Pup. Otherwise I have to reboot to livepup 4.1.2 to get a working grub config.</p> <p>puponoldlaptops </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/trial-install-of-foxy#post-373 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:58:41 +0000 runtt21 373@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Do you have a multi-boot system , one with several different puppys or other distros?

To fix it, I put the Puppy 4.1.2 disc in and used that to create the boot menu in the MBR that let me start Foxy. I assume you know about this? Or did I just get a bad iso D/L?</p> <p>Thanks for another cool Pup! As before, I'll be donating to this cause, soon as a little spare cash comes my way.</p> <p>puponoldlaptops </p>
