Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

2. If you are using Gnome or KDE you should be able to double-click on the file. If not, you may have to manually install with dpkg.

There should be an entry in the programs menu if you are using KDE or Gnome. You will also be able to start limewire by typing "limewire" in the terminal.

Enjoy!

for those who had trouble there is now a .deb file for limewire if you are having trouble download the .deb file and install it using your installer for ubuntu its Gdeb Package manager and im sorry i dont remember what it is in kubuntu or xubuntu its been a while since i have been on ether of those systemsbut u should be able to just double click it in ubuntu edgy and up and kubuntu edgy and up

I am new to Linux Ubuntu as well. I've got to the point where the Package Installer is trying to install it, and I click on Install and it says "Please close other application such as aptitude, Update Manager, or Synaptic first" and I didn't have Update manager or Synaptic on even, and I don't know what an aptitude even is.

Hi guys.
Well I have already 3months using linux Os and well every day you learn something new. Because the thread is totally about Ubuntu debian base linux. i have some really easy steps you can follow. Because we are now in 2008 you may be using 7.04 or 7.10. as per 7.10 there is a installer manager for .deb name gdebi. Yes you can also install this in 7.04 but i am not sure if other version, but i have kubuntu 7.04 and i manage to install it. gdebi will manage to install all for you, so no need to worry about dependecies or stuff like that. it is more easy but for some linux-geeks prepare to have source and so others will like to control of dependecies.

anyways hope it work for you. if any help just post or send me an email. ill be glad to help.

Update and then open up 'Synaptic'. You will find the java files needed for limewire there. (at least I did)

After java is installed, go here Ubuntu - and follow the instructions.

It was actually very simple! Just be sure to enter the run commands in the text files that the terminal will pull up during the installation correctly!

I ran into a bit of a headache because I typed them in instead of pasting them in.

I did not capatalize ONE letter that SHOULD have been capatalized and Limewire would not install and did not give me any errors or any clues about what the problem was!

Good Luck!
Heyyo, what java files are you talking about? I just dled Java 6.06 .. I opened up the Synaptic manager and marked every file named java to install. Could you post which files you were talking about ? I did everything else correct with limewire, and have the icon shown when I click Applications -- Internet-- ( it shows limewire icon) but was not able to get it to open. hopefully doing this java thing will solve that. let me know wheny you can, thx--
