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.

First, you need to make sure that you enable 'Universe' and 'Multiverse'.

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--
