I have an F19 and an F20 host and
when I try to start a webex on the
F20 host it doesn't work right. It works fine on the F19
machine.
The symptom is that when I start the webex in F20 it
sends up a
message about wanting to run an applet and I tell it yes
it's OK to
run the applet. That doesn't come up on the F19 host. On
the F19 the
icedtea icon pops up for a short time and then I get
connected. I
don't see the icedtea icon pop up in F20.
I did notice that icedtea is at 1.5 in F20, but at 1.4
for F19 and
there is some policy control added in 1.5. I set the
policy to allow
all applets to do everything for the time being in the
.config/icedtea-web/security/java.policy file which the
icedtea-web
man page says is the default policy file.
Any ideas on what the difference might be between F19
and F20 would
be appreciated or pointer to a different group that
could help.
Sorry that I only have rather high level usage info, but
so far
other then this issue with starting a webex everything
seems OK that
I have tried so far.
Hi Chris,
Is it possible for us to reproduce this? If so, what are
the steps?
You'd need a webex account.
Hmm, there's no way to reproduce it with the test meeting [0]
?
After some more playing it seems the issue is when I try to
share my
desktop it doesn't get shared in F20, but does in F19.
So the Webex applet is successfully starting with both, then?
That is what's so weird is it works like a champ in F19. I
assume
there is just something missing, maybe something I need to
install or
some permission or configuration setting. I haven't found
anything in
any log files yet to help point to what the problem might
be.
When I connect to webex to start a session if I click on
Activities I
see a webex icon of a ball that is half green and half blue
and the
name is "sun-applet-PluginMain" on the activites list. After
I click
on share desktop I see a second icon like that which says
Atasjni on
the F19, but still only have the one on F20. So, it seems
some app is
having trouble getting started when I click to share
desktop. So, far
I haven't found any complaint in any log file though.
Thanks

Do you have any log files at all to share? You can also try
launching
your browser from terminal (assuming this is starting through
a browser
at all), and capture the output with a redirect or tee there.
Also, just a note that IcedTea-Web 1.5 is available for Fedora
19 as
well. Although if you appear to be having problems after the
1.5 update,
I wouldn't recommend you update to it yet - not until we
figure out
what's going on here! With 1.5 on both Fedora 19 (native) and
20 (VM),
Webex works fine, but I haven't tried this 'share desktop'
functionality.

Also check to see if there's perhaps a SELinux alert going along
with
this. There may be changes to selinux configs that block sharing
the
desktop.
I don't know a lot about selinux, but I used the SELinux
management tool to just disable SELinux.
So, I assume SELinux is out of the picture for now.
But, I think it is probably some local configuration issue like
that.
Thanks

Putting SELinux into permissive mode, would have been plenty.
Setting the machine to disabled will only take place on the next
reboot.
If SELinux is blocking the web browser from sharing desktop you
could turn off one of these booleans, which would probably fix your
problem.
unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition --> on
unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition --> on
setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition 0
setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0
You would need to restart the browser.
