[gentoo-user] Questions about java, Seamonkey and random hangs.

[gentoo-user] Questions about java, Seamonkey and random hangs.

[Dale]

Hi Folks,

I have had a problem for a while that I can not figure out.  I visit the
radar site for the weather and it uses java.  Here is a link:

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?rid=GWX&product=NCR&overlay=11111111&loop=yes

Keep in mind I am on dial-up here.  So things take a while to download. 
Here is what it does though.  When I go to that link, I have it
bookmarked, it will start to load and then Seamonkey will not respond or
hangs up until it has loaded all the images.  The CPU load goes to close
to 100% between Seamonkey and java.  Once everything is loaded, it then
responds.  When I saw it doesn't respond, if I switch desktops then come
back, it doesn't even redraw the screen.  All I get is the borders or
Seamonkey.

Also, on there is a "Autoupdate" button that will automatically update
the images as the radar is updated.  If I turn that on, it will update a
few times then it will stop working and the part that is java is blank. 

Here is the usage while it is loading up the images:

>  3806 dale      15   0  246m  64m  16m S  8.0  6.4   0:28.47 java_vm

Sometimes java is using more than Seamonkey so it varies a little.  Here
is what I have installed as reported by equery:

Can someone visit that link and see if it does the same for you?  If it
works for you, can you post what you are using as far as a browser and
for java?  Has anybody seen or heard of anything like this before? 
About my system, I have a AMD 2500+ CPU and 1Gb of ram. 

I have tried unmerging and only having one version of java installed but
it does the same regardless of what version I have.  I would assume it
is not because there is more than one version of java installed.

What ya think?  Thanks in advance for help and info.  If you need more
info, let me know.

I know I had to download it from Sun's website but other than that, I
just installed what it said I needed.  I think I tried Blackdown or
something like that a long time ago.  It had a bug and someone told me
to use those above and it has worked fine until now.

It still does it though.  Sort of strange and a pest.  I can't even read
emails while it is loading up the page and images.

Any ideas?

I should clarify this.  It has a fetch restriction on the Sun java
package.  You have to download it, then move it to distfiles to emerge
it.  It's a license thing I guess.  I do have nsplugin in my USE line also.

I do have this jre installed:

I'll give that one you mentioned a try in a little while.  I'm trying to
download a Gentoo 2006.1 CD over a 26K dial-up.  :-(  My pipe is about
full at the moment.

Thanks for the info.  I'll post back what blows up.  LOL

OK.  I emerged the one you mentioned.  I mostly did it because now when
I go to the weather radar, Seamonkey starts to load the page then
crashes completely.  Even Konqueror doesn't work most of the time. 

What the heck is going on with this?  I need my weather because we have
some really nasty storms this time of year and I would like to see it
coming, so I know to duck. 

Any ideas?  Is it me or the website? 

Thanks.

Well, after not knowing anything else to do, I did a emerge -ev world. 
It seems to work like it was before.  Read that as Seamonkey hangs until
the page is completely loaded.  It doesn't crash at least.

Still open to ideas.

Do you use Google earth? Do you experience any problems with it? Using
a similar technology (AJAX), it has a heavy load of images. Try it and
tell us if there are problems.

I have used Googleearth before but not since this started.  My dial-up
is very slow so it takes forever.  I have went and took a shower while
it was loading.  :-(

Isn't there still a blackdown java out there?  Think it would be worth
waiting on and installing?  By waiting on, I mean the time to download it.

I'm open to ideas here.

Thanks
