Frostwire wont start..

I have already looked around the forum but i didint look like anyone is having this problem

Running frostwire gives me:

******************************************************************
Something went wrong with FrostWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(FrostWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)

Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

Put the following script in your home as frostwire.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib/frostwire &&
java -ea -Djava.library.path=. $EXECUTABLE -jar FrostWire.jar

and run it

Re: Frostwire wont start..

ScriptDevil's fix worked for me. They should really fix the default script so users don't have to.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

They may or may not fix it, but somebody has to tell them about it first. The script I use in the package is /usr/share/frostwire/runFrostwire.sh, which is provided by the Frostwire devs and works fine for me. I'm on i686, so it's possible there is an issue with x86_64. The line that actually runs the .jar file is:

${JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR}java -ea -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.NoOpLog -Djava.library.path=. $EXECUTABLE -jar FrostWire.jar $ARGUMENTS

i.e. the same as ScriptDevil's except for the addition of some logging option (I think - I don't know java) and a variable for additional arguments.
I recommend you post about your difficulties in the Frostwire forum, as they do not have a bugtracker.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

Hello all,

I have the same problem. I am running Arch64. I have tried that script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/frostwire &&
java -ea -Djava.library.path=. $EXECUTABLE -jar FrostWire.jar

Saved as /home/theavataroftime/frostwire.sh.

It does indeed start Frostwire. However, when the splash screen comes up it takes (and I am not exaggerating) about five minutes for it to start the little 'loading' bar and indeed start. The splash screen comes up instantly though.

I have tried 'sh frostwire.sh', 'sh frostwire.sh &', 'sudo sh frostwire.sh', and 'sudo sh frostwire.sh &'. None of which have any different affect.

Any ideas as to what I may have done wrong? Also, I assume that that 'sh frostwire.sh' is the way that I will always have to start Frostwire? So I need to edit my menu then (I use Fluxbox)?

Thanks for any advice.

Hmm, odd. I have been starting Frostwire repeatedly just to see what happens, and oddly enough, on about the forth time of running 'sh frostwire.sh' Frostwire acted like it had never ran before and went through the setup again. I have no idea why that would be either.

Remove the "-ea" option from your java line, assertions slow java down and are not needed when you're not testing the software.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

Thank you for the reply. I tried that but it didn't help at all. Any other ideas?

I fixed the problem with Frostwire not starting in Ubuntu Gutsy 64 (running Arch64 now of course), it was a matter of changing from 64 to 32 bit version of Java if I remember right. Unfortunately I don't remember how I did that, and can't seem to figure it out now.

This script makes Frostwire run, but I don't want to wait five minutes for it to launch.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

32 bit Arch, with Frostwire's script and with the aforeposted one, the program runs, but sticks at the splash screen for over 5 minutes.

Re: Frostwire wont start..

yes after letting it sit there for about 5mins it finally started for me, once loaded it was fast but it always takes that long to start
which is really lame cuz the splash overlays everything

Re: Frostwire wont start..

Scriptdevil's script works fine here on x86_64.  Thanks.

For the guys with start delays, do other java progs work properly, eg jbidwatcher?
