Frostwire won't start with the latest Java version


Recommended Posts

Guest ZekeMx
Has anyone got Frostwire to work on 2009.1 ? If so, how? What am I missing?

Hi,

 

I've been able to install Frostwire many times.

 

At first it seems not to be compatible with java-1.6.0-sun but it actually is.

 

The problem is very strange, probably a path problem, and I had exactly the same problem with many mandriva installed Pcs.

 

I first removed java-1.6.0-sun because I suspected Frostwires was not compatible, if you already have java-1.6.0-openjdk, check if you have java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin since this seems to create or install something that will make Frostwire work.. (I Know, I know, you don't believe me). But onces I installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin then Frostwire started working. Like I said, it seems something is triggered or changed in the paths here.

 

BUT, after all this. If you remove java-1.6.0-openjdk & java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin and install java-1.6.0-sun and all it's dependencies, frostwire continues to work.

 

Once I run Fronstwire from console this is what I get.

Now.

 

This are the steps that have worked for me to run Frostwire.

 

Remove Java

 

Install.

java-1.6.0-openjdk

java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

 

Run frostwire in console to see if it works.

 

If it did: CONGRATULATIONS.

If it didn't: Gob bless you my brother. In the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit. :P

 

In my case I wanted to have the Java from sun, so I removed: java-1.6.0-openjdk

 

And installed:

 

java-1.6.0-sun,

java-1.6.0-sun-fonts

java-1.6.0-sun-plugin

java-1.6.0-sun-alsa

java-1.6.0-sun-jdbc

 

Regards.

Well after you posted here....I installed it here and was having the same problems you have but I did something I might regret later but solve my problem

I ran frostwire as root in the first time (I know is risky, and opens a big problem, that's why I said that I might regret later) then close it and open it as normal user and it worked...have you tried?

Yes I did tried it before and it worked by runing it as root, the it worked fine as normal user.

 

But the last time I installed it, that was the most troubling, but I did remembered that the first times I had java-1.6.0-openjdk installed. I don't remember if I had java-1.6.0-opendjk-plugins.

 

It was until the last time that I had a lot of problems.. I lost half of my day researching on what could be the problem. That's when I did some test in 2 PCs with Mandriva and "prove" that after installing java-1.6.0-opendjk-plugins Frostwire worked fine.

 

I'll try it again this weekend on virtual machines.. hehe... This is just very strange.
