Problems running FrostWire on Ubuntu 8.04 with 64bit JVM?

~ gubatron ~ 5 Comments

If you recently upgraded your Ubuntu to 8.04 (64bit version), the Sun JVM that comes with it may be giving you an error similar to this one:


Loading FrostWire:
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007fa25489d755, pid=8123, tid=1082538320
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (10.0-b22 mixed mode linux-amd64)
# Problematic frame:
# C [libc.so.6+0x30755] catgets+0x15
#

Users from our FrostWire Forum came up with a solution:

I have a solution for those of us running 64 bit systems:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin

Code:

sudo update-alternatives –config java

Then choose the ia32 version of Java 6.

Thanks a lot guys.

FrostWire Blog moved to WordPress.com

As you’ve noticed, we have moved our blog outside our official domain and out here to wordpress.com.
This is because we’ve been victims of a security exploit on an old version of wordpress.
We decided it’s better to leave the blog here where the wordpress gurus will take care of it better.

All posts and comments have been exported without any problems whatsoever.
