Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Thumbs up Terrific!

That was the best user forum "form" I have seen in four days. Thank you very much for taking the time to post step by step instructions on the Limewire installation. I have been on the net for over 42hrs trying to find a way to get limewire in, I got a lot of bits and pieces, in a lot of different forums, f.a.q's, etc. I am not a programmer so that puts me at a disadvantage using Linux, I am new, but determined.... Installing programs could use some refining. You could make a fortune writing true newbie help programs.

Thanks again.

Default Solution to all Install problems?

Thanks for the posted Info, it has gotten me a stage further than I was before! however..... I am having more problems... It may be something to do with my Java, I dont know. I have pasted the Terminal session below, can you see if you can throw any light on it? I have only been using Linux for just over 6 weeks now, and my knowledge is a little bit limited, to say the least! FYI, i am running on Mandrake 9.2, AMD K6 processor, with 392MB RAM

Thanks, JRH

Terminal Paste:

Default Answer to all Installation Problems?

Further to my last post, I tried killing my firewall, and having another go at installation, just in case it was preventing connection (as it appeared to say in the error message)... and Now I have gotten this!! How come? after I updated the bash profile and saved it?? It would appear my Linux system is about as stable as a psychopath!... Here Is what I got....

[jrh@localhost jrh]$ cd Desktop
[jrh@localhost Desktop]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin

Sounds like you downloaded the wrong java package. Don't choose the first one under "Download NetBeans IDE v 3.5.1 with J2SE v 1.4.2 COBUNDLE". Instead download the linux java package under "Download J2SE v 1.4.2_03". That is why you are getting the errors that you are receiving. As far as the firewall, it normally can get out so don't disable it for now. Plus, could you post the exact message that your error logs says in regards to your firewall? That should have nothing to do with your program from at least installing and properly initializing, but it might be informative for a potential problem to come in regards to potential connection issues.

I use Mandrake 9.1

I edited /home/mike/.bashrc to add the export command there. Simple and works like a charm.

##########
contents of old .bashrc
##########

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

##########
contents of edited .bashrc
##########

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Default Limewire cannot find java vm

I've installed the Java j2sdk like you said and LimeWire, but everytime I run "./LimeWireLinux.bin" it comes up "No java virtual machine could be found in your PATH. I've set the path in the .bash_profile and .bashrc files just like you show. What else can I try to get limewire to install and run on my RedHat 7? I know it's old but it's all I got right now. Any help would be appreciated here or email me at tlangham@bellsouth.net
