I tried to install Java in Firefox and after the download I get an
error saying the package is unsigned and installation halts. Have
got the same response with another widely used package. Using the
x86_64 live spin. What to do?
Dave
try yum localinstall javapackage
not a smart idea - usually ANY fedora package is signed
missing signatures should be a WARNING SINGAL and not
ignored like trained monkeys confirm any SSL warning
in a webbrowser
it isn't a fedora package. I wanted to used a js app in firefox and
it needed the plugin
then it is not a js app
javascript != java
and went looking for one. the download came from Oracle
so why not "yum install icedtea-web" which is the java-plugin
well, that's two suggestions I can try. Thank-you. Do you know why the
Fedora packagers, knowing java is very likely to be needed, wouldn't
just package that?

I have some criticisms of Oracle as a firm but I suppose they can be
trusted to that extent. Anyway I'll try that suggestion when I get back
to that computer
trusting in context of a unsigned package? uhm............
each third party repo installs it's GPG key with the release-package

If all the advertising in the world were to shut down tomorrow, would people
still go on buying more soap, eating more apples, giving their children more
vitamins, roughage, milk, olive oil, scooters and laxatives, learning more
languages by iPod, hearing more virtuosos by radio, re-decorating their
houses, refreshing themselves with more non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers,
cooking more new, appetizing dishes, affording themselves that little extra
touch which means so much? Or would the whole desperate whirligig slow
down, and the exhausted public relapse upon plain grub and elbow-grease?
