Java plugin crash

[erny]

1) Ubuntu Release:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Release: 12.04

2) Package version:
chromium-browser:
  Instalados: 30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3
  Candidato: 30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3

Oracle / Sun Java: JDK 1.6.0_45 (also tested with 1.6.0_38)

3) What I expect: Java applets should load using Oracle/Sun 1.6.0.x / 1.7.0.x

4) What I get:
erevilla@ub1204:/usr/lib/chromium-browser$ chromium-browser
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/amd64/libnio.so: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libnet.so: version `SUNWprivate_1.1' not found (required by /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/amd64/libnio.so)

when loading an applet.

5) Workarounds:

- Install Chromium 29.x from ppa:chromium-daily/stable
- Use Chrome

6) Probable cause: name clash in libnet.so:
    Chromium: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libnet.so
    Java: /usr/lib/jvm/<jdk-directory>/jre/lib/amd64/libnet.so

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chris Boyle (chris-boyle-1978)]

-Ubuntu 13.04 (Upgraded over time from 12.04 x64)
-Chromium Version 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 13.04 (30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.13.04.2)

I could use Java in Chromium 29 just fine. After upgrading to 30, it doesn't work. It does work in Firefox just fine. Every time I try to use Java, I get the following:

Any news on this?

Could anyone of the packagers tell us why Chromium 30 as a libs directory with dynamic libraries, but Chromium 29 hasn't ?

Thank you.

Same problem here with Chromium 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 12.04:

Java plugin has no problem with Mozilla Firefox 25.0.1

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

chromium-browser package has a libs dir because Chromium link stage grew past 2**32 bits of memory space, and so linking has to be deferred to runtime.

[erny (erevilla)]

Is there a way to rename libnet.so to something different?

[erny (erevilla)]

What alternatives do we have to avoid the crash?

[erny (erevilla)]

Just a question about Ubuntu repos / packages. It seems that "precise" and "precise-updates" do have the exact same package, but the normal "precise" repo does not contain "libnet.so" (i.e. it seems to be statically linked) and the "precise-updates" repo has the a version with dynamic libs:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/chromium-browser/filelist

vs

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/amd64/chromium-browser/filelist

Thx.

[ViBE (vibe)]

since v31.x.x.x the problem just disappeared for me.

[erny (erevilla)]

I just tested it yesterday, but in Ubuntu 12.04 with security and updates repos enabled, the installed version:

31.0.1650.63 Ubuntu 12.04 (31.0.1650.63-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~20131204.1)

it still appends.

The good news is that I found a quick hack to make it work:

sudo su
apt-get install bbe
cp -a /usr/lib/chromium-browser /usr/lib/chromium-browser.bak
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser
for f in `rgrep -l libnet .`
do
  bbe -e 's/libnet/libxet/' $f > $f.new
  mv -f $f.new $f
done
mv libs/libnet.so libs/libxet.so
mv libs/libnet_with_v8.so libs/libxet_with_v8.so
chmod +x chromium-browser

You can check that all dependencies are fullfilled:
ldd chromium-browser

Please bump it if still reproducible.

The upstream report was archived years ago as the issue was unconfirmed.

The Ubuntu task won't expire due to the presence of the upstream task.

I'm closing this report as "Invalid" due to the above and as the last
comment re this issue is now almost nine years old.
