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.

Rahven,

I did this once before, but recently re-installed RH8 for various reasons.

This time I am not so successful. I follwed all of your instructions to a "tee" and then when I try to run sh LimeWireLinux.bin I get the following:

[Thomas@localhost Thomas]$ sh LimeWireLinux.bin

Your problem is simple. You have another java program installed on your system that is a binary (perhaps /usr/bin/java).

To find out for certain try three things first to confirm if my conjecture is correct.
First type:

java -version

Is the output the correct java program that you want to use?

Secondly, type:

which java

Did it output "/usr/bin/java"?

Lastly, type:

rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/java

If that shows a program other than what you want to use, remove the offending program. It could be kaffe or jdkgcj. I will later add this touch to my own topic "The Solution To All Install Problems" so thank you for bring this to my attention.

You are correct, my friend.

jdkgcj-0.2.3-1
is what shows up. Do I simply rm it?

Default fixed my issues

I fixed mine by editing the /home/username/.bash_profile and /etc/profile then making the link ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java after removing the existing /usr/bin/java to another directory (moved it in case something went wrong) then did source /home/username/.bash_profile

Confusing?

Very.

I don't suppose you could provide some step-by-steps could you? I do think my problem is the same as what you had.

What confuses me is I installed java in /home/Thomas/java

Default ok..

Lemme see if I can help

This all is assuming you used the rpm's to install - which I suggest if you are struggling with this.

First open /home/Thomas/.bash_profile with vi by typing: vi /home/Thomas/.bash_profile

Press "i" to insert

Enter in these lines near (above or below) the other line(s) starting with "export" (make a new line):

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

(you can cut/paste if you like - should work the way I entered it)

then press "Esc", then a : then qw to quit and save

then: vi /etc/profile

then "i" to insert

then insert the line:

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/"

(make sure this directory exists - if you aren't using v1.4.1_01 of Sun Java then point it to the directory that it is installed in (same for above entries))

then move /usr/bin/java to some other location (save it in case I help mess things up for you) You can do this by doing something like mkdir /home/Thomas/javabackup then typing mv java /home/Thomas/javabackup which will move that file to the newly created folder.

then type (I'm not sure, but I think you have to be su): [root@localhost usr]# ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java

This should create a link then to your new installed java (again make sure that the directory I made for an example is the same as what you have).

and I think LASTLY you need to do this to update the paths: source .bash_profile

then type:

sh LimeWireLinux.bin from the installed dir and pray.

Lemme know if I missed something.

iflybyu,

I appreciate very much your details. I have been performing an upgrade push to our company's CRM system this evening and am spent right now, so will not be attempting your instructioins until tomorrow morning. I did, however, want to say thank you in advance. I'll be sure to let you know how I make out tomorrow.

Cheers, mate!

Your friend,
Thomas

hmmm...

The /etc/profile is giving me trouble. Cannot get out of it gracefully.

Have edited home/Thomas/.bash_profile, but no further. This seems awfully involved compared to the last time I got this installed and working.
