Might work with Pulse too. There's also directions for settting it up for pulse.
Hope it helps. |
Amazing! It works!
I will link this to the bug report for future reference... |

Cool. Glad to be able to help out. Happy gaming, mates. =)
One thing though is; when java updates, the script might not work no more, as your system now uses another version of java. (As Andreas also said). No bigger problem than just making or, copying and editing, the small script for the new version. So don't panic if sound stops working, might just be a java update.
Another way to make sure it will keep working is to lock all of the sun-java6* packages at their current version in Synaptic, but I personally like to have the newest avaliable software. |

This didn't work for me, though it's likely I didn't adjust the path correctly for OpenSuse and openjdk. How do I test what is going wrong? |

For a start: the instructions were for sun java. I would strongly recommend you installing sun java and switching from openjdk. Then trying again. |

Sod that, I'll use XP in VirtualBox. I'm not going to compromise my browser to make something work worse than I already can in a VM. |

Hey. If you don't use Sun (oracle) Java it is very likely that you will experience difficulties with the client. At least I know about multiple people that had issues with the apo crashing the old client.
I'm running Sun (Oracle) java + the described script, and everything works flawlessly for me. You might be able to get the "new" client running with OpenJDK/JRE, but I've had no luck with SkiJinkies, and swapped to Sun.
Good luck with it. (If you decide to stick to OpenJDK, and get it working, it would be nice if you posted you setup...)
On a side-note; How does it compromise your browser if you run Sun? (just curious)
Cheers |

I'll have to downgrade Firefox to the 32-bit version to get Java Web Start to work. At that point, I refuse. VirtualBox + XP cover me for the odd occasion I play on FUMBBL, whereas I use Firefox all the time, so it gets priority. |

Maybe you can try, instead of letting browser launch or run internally, download (via browser or some other tool like wget), then launching from console (here I use "aoss javaws blablah.jnlp"). I have Java disabled in browser, but found out the other method works (and I need aoss wrapper anyway...). Or is the problem that installing 32 bit Java forces browser to be 32 bits too? |

Correct. I've tried it before, and I know Firefox, for one, didn't allow two concurrent installations (32 bit and 64 bit). I want all my apps to be 64 bit where possible, as I enjoy the performance benefits of a 64 bit desktop on a quad core with 6Gb of RAM. Even XP runs faster in VirtualBox than it does natively on the same machine!
I could run another browser like Chrome as 32 bit just for FUMBBL, but it's no more bother to run a virtual machine instead. |

Besides the apps for Windows, iOS, Android, etc, users can now access to Spotify and discover all its features using Web Player. Read this for more details spotify web player. It's time to search for or add songs, albums and discover new music. |
