Using your eselect command it appears that I don't have a plugin. Am I correct? I Assume I'd see a name under one of those headings? lightning ~ # eselect java-nsplugin list Available 32-bit Java browser plugins Available 64-bit Java browser plugins lightning ~ # eselect java-nsplugin show Current Java browser plugin (unset) lightning ~ # Indeed, it appears that nsplugin isn't enabled which would be my first issue to solve. I know I had it turned off at one point when I was using a chroot to get around this problem but that's far too difficult to live with on a day-in/day-out basis.

I cannot seem to get the flag enabled: lightning ~ # emerge -pvDuN sun-jdk These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
