Bug 161825

I confirm this in 4.0.4 kubuntu (and the bug isn't new from 4.0.3 if I remember right).

I can confirm this behaviour even with the 4.1-RC1 builds on both kubuntu and gentoo

Using KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0) (KDEmod) in ArchLinux i686
JRE 6u7
I can reproduce this bug.

doesn't work in ArchLinux, kde 4.1.00 (4.1.0) (not kdemod), java 1.6u7

I confirm this bug here too.
KDEmod 4.1 with jre 6u7 on Arch.

SVN commit 843223 by pino:

Use the right cmake variable for the data directory, so the policy file points to the correct directory.
The mismatch may happen in case a particular datadir is set, eg by some distro.

This may fix bug #161825.

Who compiles from sources (either trunk/4.2 or branch/4.1) and has the problem, please update and report whether the problem is fixed.
For people who use distro packages, please (hopefully) wait for KDE 4.1.1 and verify again.

Thanks for the cooperation.

Hi,
KDE 4.1.0, my kjava.policy seems to be okay, but java in konqueror still does not work [1]. It works in Konq 3.5.9.

esprimo ~ # grep codeBase /usr/kde/4.1/share/apps/kjava/kjava.policy
grant codeBase "file:/usr/kde/4.1/share/apps/kjava/-"

re: comment #10: also please make sure you have the mimetype application/x-java-applet available.

Maksim,
I do have onely application/x-java (which has kjavaappletviewer as associated kpart) and application/x-java-archive.

What package is responsible for that mime info, sun-java?

> What package is responsible for that mime info, sun-java?

kdelibs.

Please verify the following:
$ kde4-config --path xdgdata-mime
its output should contain a subdirectory of `kde4-config --prefix`.
If it does not, see what
$ env | grep XDG
returns.

Thanks for your quick reply, Pino.

My environment seem correctly setup:

strohel@esprimo ~ $ kde4-config --path xdgdata-mime
/home/strohel/.local/share/mime/:/usr/kde/4.1/share/mime/:/usr/share/mime/
strohel@esprimo ~ $ kde4-config --prefix
/usr/kde/4.1
strohel@esprimo ~ $ env | grep XDG
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/kde/4.1/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/kde/4.1/share:/usr/share
strohel@esprimo ~ $ grep -r applet /home/strohel/.local/share/mime/
strohel@esprimo ~ $ grep -r applet /usr/kde/4.1/share/mime/
/usr/kde/4.1/share/mime/packages/kde.xml:  <mime-type type="application/x-java-applet">
/usr/kde/4.1/share/mime/packages/kde.xml:    <comment>Java applet</comment>
strohel@esprimo ~ $ grep -r applet /usr/share/mime
mime/      mime-info/ mimelnk/
strohel@esprimo ~ $ grep -r applet /usr/share/mime/
strohel@esprimo ~ $

However, java applets do not work and application/x-java-plugin entry does not show up in System Settings → File Associations.

I've found that also some other mimetypes from /usr/kde/4.1/share/mime/packages/kde.xml do not appear in File Associations, for example application/metalink+xml, application/x-cda.. Isn't that because they don't have their own .xml files? Dunno.

Using shared-mime-info-0.30.

Try the following:
as root: update-mime-database /usr/kde/4.1/share/mime
then, as user: kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

How did you install kde4? Because it seems update-mime-database was not run on installation...

Oh yes, it did the trick, Java working. So this is definitely a Gentoo bug, will report that.

(I suspect it does not work with all combinations of "Use security manager", "Use KIO", and "Shutdown applet server when inactive", but that would be another bug and I have to investigate more deeply)

So, thanks you, Pino and Maksim, for your cooperation.

As far as I'm concerned, this could be closed as WORKSFORME.

It works also for me in konqueror 4.1.68 (opensuse unstable).

Can anyone still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) or trying comment 15 ? Thanks :)

Not really. Should be closed IMO.

Matěj.

Closing as worksforme (no feedback in two years).
