    (SOLVED) Can't Install Frostwire

    I've always been able to download frostwire and install it with gdebi, but now it won't because it can't find a java runtime environment dependency. I've installed every java package I could find in the repos to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?

    If you attempted to install Java through KPackageKit, then it didn't fully install. Java JRE requires that you acknowledge their EULA, which is in a pop-up. KPackageKit doesn't show those pop-ups. You need to install Java from the console, or, install Synaptic and install Java from Synaptic.

      I was using synaptic. That's the first thing I installed. There are over a dozen java packages. Can you tell me exactly what to look for? Every time I ever installed frostwire in any other distro, gdebi would automatically run the java installer, but now it just gives a dependency error.

        Check that you have sun-java6-jre installed.

            Ensure that you have the Ubuntu Software sources active.

              Well now I feel kinda stupid. I changed servers and enabled canonical partners in other sources and it showed up.
              I've been hours trying to do this and it only took five minutes.

              Thanks Snowhog. You da man. 8)
