I keep getting the "Java plugin out of date" box whenever I open a page with embedded Java. I use the link provided, which has no auto-install. I've unzipped the tarball into /usr/lib/jvm/
. I've used chrome://plugins
to check the current version, extracted the path from the details to verify the correct file, and manually edited .config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences
to update the information for Java.
When I reopen chrome, it overwrites that Preferences file, thereby losing all the changes. I cannot find any documentation on how to update this. It's becoming rather frustrating, and is preventing me from using some software required by my school so I can view assignments, etc.
The current path of the plugin: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
The desired path of the plugin: /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_04/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
