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.

Please help, I'm using the paid version of LimeWire if it matters , Thanks ahead of time for the support, Oh by the way I had ilimewire running at one time but I had to do a reinstall, then I was using the jdk1.5.0, this time I used the jre version of 1.5.0, because for some reason the jdk wouldn't install correctly.

Dr Bombay, can you tell us about the version of linux you are running. We need the distro name and the version. If you know if its rpm or .deb, that would also help.

Dr. Bombay, that may be a tough one. There are definately some unusual problems with some of the Fedora Core distributions, especially with kernal 2.6. I'm definately not a guru, but that would be an RPM. Red Hat Package Manager type.

Xandros is Debian, but I have also installed LimeWire on PCLinuxOS which a hybred system using apt (debian) and Mandrake (rpm) I know there are folks here that can help you out, but unfortunately I am not the one.

If you would want to try a great free distribution with some of the latest, you can download PCLinuxOS. The latest is a installable "liveCD" version which is beautiful and powerful. It uses "diskdrake" for the installer which is included on the cd and has LimeWire installed by default along with other great packages including an office suite, cd burner, (k3b), email client and several browsers. You can also download the 2.6 kernal if you want to be on the bleeding edge and it is not as quirky as some other distros.

Sorry I can't help more.

You bet, Dr Bombay. Just get on your browser and type in pclinuxos, and it will take you to the site. Follow the links after you register and find the link to nv7a live cd. Its a free download and there are more programs in the depository than you can shake a stick at. I donate a little every month to help out but its not manditory.

After you see what it is if you like it you can send in something and if not you can move on or stay with Fedora Core. Give it a try you will be impressed. PcLinuxOs has some of the best looking GUI Themes included on the download.

what I did ; instead of using the rpm.bin, I used the Linux.tgz file and got it working, hopefully you will find this info helpful, also you should check the sticky thread in this forum about the java install, because there are a couple of things you need to do after you get it installed.
One more thing, I didn't use 1.4.2, I used the JDK5.0 you can find it here;
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Again I hope you find this info. helpful
Yours Trully,
Dr.bombay
