1. I have a problem installing Frostwire on Fedora 21+ due to a conflict with the filesystem. The reason is due to use alien converter from deb to rpm not properly solving those dependencies.

   $ sudo dnf install /tmp/frostwire-6.1.2.x86_64.rpm

   After forcing the installation using rpm (not recommended), Frostwire failed to start with the latest openjdk on Fedora and needs Oracle version.

   $ frostwire

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 1.7+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
openjdk version "1.8.0_45"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

   Fedora 21+ has java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless installed so that is a bug to fix.

   1. would you be able to take a look at the frostwire launching script and see if you can fix the bug and send us a patch for it to work on Fedora 21+?

      1. Do you have the source code so I can try out?

      2. Or do you have recent spec file of Frostwire? I can only find one from version 5.7.6.

2. you should have the file after you install FrostWire, the script should be at /usr/lib/frostwire/frostwire.sh

   1. Thank you. I am not familiar with Debian/Ubuntu packaging method as I mainly work with Fedora/Red Hat contribution. I will send an update once I complete them.
