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.

Unhappy limewire on suse 7.1

I have tried to install the Linux version on suse 7.1, no luck. I read that I should try to install the "Other" version and install the right JRE for my system. I am somewhat "tech-savvy" but not when it comes to java. I have been to the javasoft site but can't find anything of any use. Is there an appropriate JRE for suse 7.1 (kernel 2.4)?

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Question

I have the same problem with Debian/woody/2.4.0. The installation crashes with the following message:

~/bin > sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
SIGSEGV received at bfffe09c in /tmp/install.dir.1781/Linux/resource/jre/lib/linux/native_threads/libjava.so. Processing terminated
Writing stack trace to javacore2787.txt ... OK
./LimeWireLinux.bin: line 1: 2787 Speicherzugriffsfehler /tmp/install.dir.1781/Linux/resource/jre/bin/jre -Djava.compiler= -noverify -cp "::/tmp/install.dir.1781/InstallerData:/tmp/install.dir.1781/InstallerData/installer.zip" com.zerog.lax.LAX "/tmp/install.dir.1781/temp.lax" /tmp/env.properties.1781~

The "other" method tells me:
~/bin > java -classpath LimeWireOther.zip install
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread


To be honest, I have problems to undertstand the *-instructions in the help file.
Can anybody give me a hint?

Regards
Rainer

You have to install the Java-only version of LimeWire (not the *.bin version)

this works, but it runs extremely slowly and instable......

@urmel: Yoo have to set the classpath properly, e.g.:
CLASSPATH="/usr/lib/java/lib/classes.zip:/usr/lib/java/lib:."
export CLASSPATH
(add these lines to your /etc/profile file)

Hai Nils,
thx for your help but it did not work.
I found the file /usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip and set the path in a xterm to /usr/lib/java/lib/classes.zip:.
the result is the same as before.

On the Debain-box I have following Java packages:

/home/rainer # dpkg -l | grep java
ii java-common 0.6 Base of all Java packages
ii netscape-java- 4.73-19 Netscape Java support for version 4.73
ii netscape-java- 4.76-1 Netscape Java support for version 4.76
/home/rainer # dpkg -l | grep jdk
ii jdk1.1 1.1.8v1-3 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit) - Runtime o
ii jdk1.1-dev 1.1.8v1-3 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit)
ii jdk1.1-native 1.1.8v1-3 JDK 1.1.x Runtime - native threads extension
ii jdk1.1-native- 1.1.8v1-3 JDK 1.1.x - native threads extensions

I would like to use the normal Linux Version of LimeWire. With version 1.2 there was the same problem. Can you help me to fix the crash of the installation script? Here the output again:

~/bin > sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
SIGSEGV received at bfffe09c in /tmp/install.dir.1585/Linux/resource/jre/lib/linux/native_threads/libjava.so. Processing terminated

Hello to all SuSE 7.1 Users!

I had the same problem, but its very easy to solve, because only the path of "java" is wrong! One way is to export..., buts easyer:

Search for the directory of the installed jre (something like /usr/lib/jre-1.3/bin/java...) , then change to it and then type the following: ./java -classpath <directoryofLimeOther.zip>/LimeWireOther.zip install! Then everything works!

Have fun, pinola

I found "jre", in /usr/lib/java/bin.

from there I ran ./java -classpath /LimeWireOther.zip install

The error was:
"Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Threads:

I also tried to export the CLASSPATH but with no luck like the others. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

To install the Other version of LimeWire on a SuSE Linux 7.1 system, just enter

java --classpath LimeWireOther.zip:/usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/classes.zip install

(or whereever you have the classes.zip file installed, see 'locate classes.zip' if unsure)

Installation works without problems then. The program sometimes runs really slow, thus. I did not yet find out why and when and of course don't have any way to improve this.

Does this problem (LimeWire running slow and having to install from the 'other' package) have something to do with the kernel or doesnt it?

OK guys, this is what you have to do in order to get LimeWire somewhat running in Suse 7.1:
Install package Java2 from pay series, then link /usr/lib/java to jdk1.3 (the Java2 directories). I've done this in order to get Lime to use Java2 virtual machine. So what I got is a running LimeWire with some minor bugs like grey squares where's no lines of text and a very important bug which makes it impossible to change the options.
Anyway it is better than the unstable Lime running with javarunt or java vm's. Also I've 'tried' it with Kaffe and IBM-java's vm and it didnt work.
If any of you have a better solution please post it here inmediatly.

ok, here's my version of the story: i installed Sun's SDK from the SuSE 7.1 installation disks, (since the JRE is part of the SDK), and found it installed as a link to the JRE, under the root directory.

I then typed "/java/bin/java -classpath LimeWireOther.zip install."

Here's the errors i got:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

Exception in thread "main"

Anyone get that also? Interesting that the same errors i got,i also get when trying to run xmame. (not the exception error though.)
Anybody have a clue on what's wrong with my setup? Thanks.
