#74 Can't start frinika, error and crash during setup

Andrés Moya — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 14:25:37 -0000

Ok. I just installed the Oracle JRE 8 and it seems to work. It appears to be a OpenJDK compatibility issue.

It would be good to fix it to use OpenJDK 8. In most Linux distributions this is the default installed version, because of open source incompatibility of the Oracle version.

But anyway, it can be used this way. Thanks!

#74 Can't start frinika, error and crash during setup

Peter Salomonsen — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 17:09:47 -0000

Hi,

On my Mac using Java 8 from https://java.com works with the version you can download here.

When it comes to newer Java versions I know about the startup problem, and there's a fix for it in the github repository here (if you are able to compile it on your own): https://github.com/petersalomonsen/frinika/commit/eeaaa1770542d37358e66017910eb4a72b768db8

However I still think Java 8 is the best version to use for Frinika, and wouldn't really recommend a newer version. Java 8 is also the latest release for desktop apps, so I would assume that' s the officially recommended version for Java apps like Frinika in general.

best regards,

Peter

Can't start frinika, error and crash during setup

Hello. Is this app still supported? I've just found it and seems perfect for me, powerful enough but still simple to use by a novice like me.

I've tried to install it, but it doesn't run. After start, it asks me to configure the audio server. With any server I choose, it causes a java error and crashes.

I'm using arch linux 64 bits, with Java 18 OpenJDK JRE. I've tried to downgrade until Java 8 OpenJDK, with the same results. I think Java 7 is now deprecated and cannot be installed.

The error I get is this one:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: uk.org.toot.audio.server.spi.AudioServerServiceProvider is not an ImageIO SPI class

Any clue? Thanks a lot!

#73 Installing question

Peter Salomonsen — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:41:35 -0000

Either you must right click on frinika.jar and choose to open it using Java (you should not extract it) - or you can start the command prompt and type:

java -jar frinika.jar

Make sure that you have Java installed (www.java.com)

Installing question

Hi
I downloaded the zip-file. When I click at frinika.jar,or extract the file, I see loads of maps and files, but not an icon to start the program.
I'm using Windows XP, can anybody tell me how to run the program?
Thanks in advance!
