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 Basic vewrsion crashes on startup

Howdy,

I'm trying to be a new user, but no luck. LimeWire's installer said it installed successfully, but the app crashes at startup (during "Loading HTML Engine")

G4 Mac, 350mHz, 512mb RAM, OS 10.3.9

Any Help appreciated,
Ken N.

hmmm, i've got exactly the same problem using OSX 10.3.9, powerPC G4 1Ghz, 1GB DDR SDRAM...

But i guess, it doesn't have anything to do with the system.. I think, there's a fault in the javascript or something... I hope we'll get some help soon...

Default Try this

EDIT: The below steps should not be necessary for LW versions 4.9.25 and later. LW 4.9.25 beta ships with the JavaApplicationStub from OS X 10.2.7. If you're a LW Pro user, there is also a Pro version of the beta. Of cousre, if you're reeding this a long time after this edit, the official version of LW may also be 4.9.25 or later.
/EDIT:

The problem seems to stem from LW shipping with the JavaApplicationStub from OS X 10.1. For some people, this stub causes LW to crash while creating the user's LW preferences directory.


The easiest solution is to manually replace

/Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/LimeWire

with a copy of

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub


I've edited the following instructions to use the GUI instead of the command line:

The easiest way to do this if you're not familiar with the OS X command line is the following.

(1) Go to Macintosh HD -> System -> Library -> Frameworks -> JavaVM.framework -> Versions -> Current -> Resources -> MacOS

(2) Now control-click JavaApplicationStub and select "copy 'JavaApplicationStub'".

(3) Next go to Macintosh HD -> Applications -> LimeWire

(4) Control-click on the LimeWire application and select "Show Package Contents"

(5) Go to Contents -> MacOS

(6) Control-click inside the MacOS folder and select "Paste item".

(7) Inside the MacOS folder, rename LimeWire to OldLimeWire and then rename JavaApplicationStub to LimeWire

If you're familiar with the OS X command line, this can be done in one step. However, it can be very confusing if your'e not used to the command line.

My bad; I should have posted how to do this through the GUI. I've edited my previous post to reflect this.

First of all, there should be a space between JavaApplicationStub and /Applications.

Secondly, you left off the final s on Applications.

Third, the OS X command line is case-sensitive and you didn't capitalize LimeWire properly.

You should have 3 things in one command, each seperated by a space
(1) cp

(2) /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

(3) /Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/LimeWire

So bringing it all together, if you can stretch your streen wide enough and stretch your terminal wide enough, it should look like one line with two spaces in it:
cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/LimeWire

Cool

Thanks, kmag. Had the same problem -- was getting an "unexpectedly quit" error on startup on my G4 (OS 10.3.9). Your suggestion did the trick!!

Default Re: Try this

Wow. It worked!

I've been trying to figure out a solution to this problem for about three weeks, and NOTHING has been working. I was getting ready to put on some purple galoshes and do a rain dance in my office. You're a life saver.
