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.

Default Must be missing something...

Alright, I've tried everything here and still can't get any of the java commands to work. I did install the program but, I think the problem is in my path. So, to recap on all the above posts...

If I edit my profile in /etc/profile, this is a systemwide change? No matter what user I login as that profile should reflect the changes I made to the path?

Second, if I make changes to the path in the profile and the are completly wrong, will they still show up when I type, "echo $PATH" ? Reason I'm asking is because no matter how many times I have changed my profile I dont see ANY of the changes when I run echo $PATH. So, that has me a little concerned... I've included some of my profile for laughs, because it's probably completely wrong but, hopefully other people can learn from it...

If anyone out there could help it would be GREATLY appriciated.

"$UID" = "0" ] && ulimit -S -c 1000000 > /dev/null 2>&1

if ! echo ${PATH} |grep -q /usr/X11R6/bin ; then
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin"

hi,

the "java" executable is in the "bin" directory of the jre installation. So you only need $JAVA_HOME/bin in your path, and you need that before the rest of the PATH variable.

So, simply add
PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin:$PATH

before the if statement.

Thanks Zab.. Looks like Java is happy now but, I'm running into some problems with the rpm file now. I'm hoping this isn't because of the some of the changes I made to my profile..

flingus2001]$ rpm -i LimeWireLinux.rpm
error: cannot open lock file ///var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK in exclusive mode
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Am I doing something wrong here?

Ok, it's working now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! Looks like it was already installed. I do have one weird question though.. I made those changes to etc/profile so, I'm guessing that no matter who I log on as in my system should have access to Java. Why then, is the following happening when I try to run Limewire as root? (I did get it to work when I logged in as another user though)

Thanks so much for your help. I really think I need to read more on how Linux works at this point. I don't understand the formatting in profile and how it works exactly. Seems odd to me that I would have to add Java in my path but, I didn't have to add Limewire in my path..

Anyway, the following happends as root...

This is getting really strange.. It's saying Java isn't in my path again and it's not showing up when I type, "echo $PATH". It worked last time but, now it's not taking the change. It's still in my profile too...

Here's my profile..


# /etc/profile -*- Mode: shell-script -*-
# (c) MandrakeSoft, Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com>

loginsh=1

# Users generally won't see annoyng core files
[ "$UID" = "0" ] && ulimit -S -c 1000000 > /dev/null 2>&1
PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin:$PATH
if ! echo ${PATH} |grep -q /usr/X11R6/bin ; then
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin"


fi

if [ "$UID" -ge 500 ] && ! echo ${PATH} |grep -q /usr/games ; then
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games
fi

umask 022

USER=`id -un`
LOGNAME=$USER
MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER"
HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
HISTSIZE=1000

Here's the results of my echo $path ...

echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin


And here's what happends when I try to run LimeWire...

./runLime.sh

************************************************** ****************
Error: Unable to find java.
Please make sure that java is in your PATH.
Visit http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp for more information.
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)

I was going to reinstall Mandrake just to try to start off with a clean profile but, I can't even figure out how to do that. I've reinstalled twice and it keeps the files instead of overwriting them. :S

What in the world am I doing wrong here? I had no problem at all installing java and LimeWire when I used an earlier version of Mandrake... I am really stumped here....

Seems like a mandrake-specific oddity. If the java is listed in /etc/profile it should be part of the path, and you should have access to it.

I suggest forwarding this question to a mandrake support forum, they may have a clue what's happening.

You added it in a section of the profile that's intended to do other stuff.

Make it so at the very end of the profile (after the environment variables are set), the path has java added to it.

John,

with the latest rpm you should not need to set up your path to get LimeWire running.

0. become root
1. Get the latest java from http://www.java.com
2. Get the latest limewire rpm from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftLinux and install it
3. delete the file /usr/lib/LimeWire/runLime.sh and download this one on top of it:
http://www.limewire.org/zlatin/runLime.sh
4. chmod 755 runLime.sh

then type "limewire" in the terminal and it should run, or at least print some helpful debug information.
