84673 - libnullplugin is the only loaded plugin

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

hi,

I had this problem for quite a few months with releases 0.8x, 0.9.0 & 0.9.1.
The only plugin loaded is the default one.
In Mozilla plugins directory, I have the following :
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins$ ls -l
total 1304
drwxr-sr-x    6 root     adm          4096 mai 11 12:04 java2
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     adm        947476 mai 11 12:04 libflashplayer.so
-rw-r-----    1 root     adm        349608 jun  8 12:39 libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     adm         13720 mai 11 12:04 libnullplugin.so
-r--r--r--    1 root     adm          2363 mai 11 12:04 ShockwaveFlash.class

And if i check "about:plugins", the only plugin loaded is the Netscape Default
plugin : libnullplugin.so.

My system is running on a Debian 2.2 box. 

As a quick test, I got copied the plugins directory from another Debian 2.2
system on which mozilla 0.9.1 is able to load the plugins but nothing changed.

I don't get any error message when loading mozilla. Any help would be appreciate.

Dup of bug 69167? (see also comments in bug 79124).

[R.K.Aa.]

have you tried making libjavaplugin_oji.so a symlink to the real location of it?
That is how the SUN README explains it should be done.

Some Mandrake users have also reported problems with flash (bug 79108)
The problem in that case was system bug: a missing symlink from libXt.so.6
 to libXt.so

The cure:
ln -sf /usr/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/lib/libXt.so
