HELP! Java+Frostwire

[CitrusOrange]

I'm lost without automatix on this new build of Ubuntu. I can't get java installed correctly to run Frostwire.

So far I've tried the add/remove software java options and the manual java.com download and both have not worked.

I need help configuring it. I've looked in the docs and they are for 7.10 so I avoided it in case of any differences.

Try:
sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Ok thanks but this hasn't fixed my java and frostwire issue.

Yeah I've got a similar problem

Ok, so I fixed my problem.

Apparently I had two versions of Java installed; a second java (JDK) was installed along with the sun version. So i opened up synaptic and removed the sun-java6-jdk version, and typed this in the terminal:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

and frostwire now works.

hope this helps

Didn't work for me, however I used the config command and issued one through five and after I did that, frostwire started launching and works like normal.


sudo update-alternatives --config java

There are 5 alternatives which provide java.

I went and did all 5 of them in a row.
