Need help with Frost and FMS on Freenet
Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me since I have no idea where to ask this question.
I recently installed Trisquel 8 on a new PC and everything is running great. I got Freenet up and running fine as well.
But I can't seem to get Frost to run or FMS.
With Frost, it keeps telling me I have an outdated version of java. So I downloaded everything java I could find in the synaptic package manager and made sure my defaults are the newest version of java. But still, it tells me I have an out dated version. Any idea why? I can't even locate a log file. I have included a picture below of the shell file. Any help is appreciated.
As for FMS, I don't really have much info other than when I try to run it, nothing happens. I even checked 127.0.0.1:8080 and nothing can connect.
I'm not the most tech savvy, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with either of these programs, and doing a web search I
see multiple programs by these names. Can you link to the websites you
got these programs from?
These programs are pretty much only downloadable while on the Freenet network, so I can't provide a link. Although I believe if you search "Frost Next", I believe theres a github to download it.
Both Frost and FMS are essentially messaging/forums to talk to other users. I can't ask anyone on Freenet since I can't get FMS to work.

Okay, I don't use the Freenet and don't have time to learn how at the
moment, but I might be able to help with the Java issue. Can you
describe what steps you took to install Frost leading up to the error
message regarding Java? Did it say which version you need? Can you
copy/paste the exact message?
Please see the attached screenshot. That is what pops up ever time I try to run Frost. I have all the latest versions of Java and my default is the latest version. I wish I had more info. Thanks.

It says that your Java version is fine, but that you are missing JavaFX.
Try installing it with
$ sudo apt install openjfx
and see if it works after that.
I tried that and it told me I already have the newest version. Hmmmm.
So I found a log of sorts. Looks like its giving me a connection refused error. Any ideas?
