yes, unmute your audio. Also downgrade to 1.6.0_18

I had this freezing stuff too, till I downgraded and learned to unmute pulse or whatever you are using.

Jams, as in freeze or is it lagging? What distro are you running?

I have problems whenever I first connect to a game (playing or spectating) if the sound in the FFC is turned on in my personal settings, then my opened client will freeze. If I turn all the sounds in the FFC to off (before connecting), I don't have any problems. If I turn the sounds back on after I have connected, I don't seem to have problems. But it is such a weird bug it is difficult to trouble shoot to isolate it exactly.

I think what is happening is related to when you mute your system audio, and java throws an exception when the game tries to access it, which may not be caught properly by the client. However, I swear I have had problems when the system audio was not muted as well.

I am running the latest version of Ubuntu (Gnome).

It may be something that only happens right at the very beginning of a game, when something is being initialised?

Yeah I am at work now, so I can't really test it out. At home I was also just playing with all the sounds off because it was guaranteed to work. At work I have OpenSUSE linux (Gnome), and just tried a variety of combinations of sounds on/off while spectating, but couldn't get it to crash...

I brought this up before to Lakrillo, but because I couldn't work out exactly when/how it was crashing, I didn't make a bug report.

[Edit:]

I brought it up in this post before:

Okay,

I filed a bug report:
Bug report 597

Workaround:
start the client
before typing your password, go to 'user settings->sound->sound off'
connect
DO NOT TURN ON SOUND!

So far only reported on Ubuntu

I used Oracle Java 6 Update 23 with Ubuntu yesterday to spectate some games - with sound! The client doesn't crash.

I suspect this might also be a driver-issue, test to update your drivers and java and report if that solved the problem.
Could you try to get us a stacktrace by having the Java console running when you crash?

Hi Lakrillo, please refer to the bug 597 (linked above) I put a stack trace in there as well

Hi,

just tried with Ubuntu here at home (not at work). 2 weeks ago, the client worked perfectly and i didn't touch the system since that day. Now i tried again and the client crashed. I wasn't even able to mute the sound, because muting at start up didn't work.
I don't know, what has changed in the past weeks, but there has something changed. I cannot tell, why the Ubuntu at work works well, but i will check again in the following days.

Greets,
gan

Hey. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I've always hated Pulseaudio, and have removed every trace of it, and dropped back to good old trusty ALSA. I have no problems what so ever spec'ing FFB games. I can't speak for playing, as I try to stick to LRB4 as long as possible. Another thing, I made a script that forces java applications to run through ALSA. With this setup I'm faciing no problems at all.

"How-to-make-script"-link: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1568460

Might work with Pulse too. There's also directions for settting it up for pulse.
Hope it helps.

It may be pulseaudio hogging the sound device, making it unavailable for java. Try faking a device with padsp.

Edit /usr/bin/javaws with a text editor as root. The last line will look like this:

exec $(dirname $prog)/javaws.real "$@"

change it to this:

exec padsp $(dirname $prog)/javaws.real "$@"

This fix is only for webstart programs and you'll have to redo it every time java is updated.
