Hi All,
I run the FUMBBL client from Firefox in Ubuntu 18.04, which I installed about a week ago. The client was running using IcedTea until a day or two ago, but now when I try and spec or start a match, nothing happens.
Trying to run it from the command line:
Code: | $ /usr/bin/javaws ffblive.jnlp |
gives the following error:
Code: | selected jre: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle thread 'main' panicked at 'Error spawning JVM process, java executable: [/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle], arguments: [["-splash:/usr/share/icedtea-web/javaws_splash.png", "-Xbootclasspath/a:/usr/share/icedtea-web/javaws.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar:/usr/share/java/tagsoup.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/lib/ext/nashorn.jar:", "-classpath", "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/lib/rt.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar:", "-Dicedtea-web.bin.name=javaws", "-Dicedtea-web.bin.location=/usr/lib/icedtea-web/bin/javaws", "net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot", "ffblive.jnlp"]]', src/os_access.rs:36:19 note: Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 for a backtrace. |
I uninstalled Java 8 with the intention of reinstalling it, but it seems like the PPAs are no longer being maintained as Oracle require you to log in using an account. I also tried using Java 11, but that gives a similar error.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get the client running, please?
Many thanks!! <3 |

I'm a casual too - that's one of the links where they explain that the PPAs for Java 8 won't be maintained. |

But at the bottom it gives instructions for adding an untrusted repository for obtaining the unsupported PPA going forward. |

Ohh, yes - I saw this when I first started trying to fix the issue and then forgot all about that as I fell down the rabbit hole.
Adding that PPA gives the message:
Code: | N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details. |
I don't know how to explicitly accept it - any ideas? |

Nope - added the repository but get error 404 when I try installing. |

Hmm... don't know for certain, and I'm taking a guess, but based on this previous occurrence and that the PPA is manually updated and I suspect oracle just moved files with the license change on Tuesday... that it's awaiting someone at WebUpd8 to update the installer... |

Hopefully! I came across that thread too. Let's see if it gets updated. |
