Opening with Mandriva LE 2005 Hey everyone, I installed LimeWire from the rpm file, before realising I needed Java. So I installed Java, and went to run the rpm file again. It said the program had already been installed. My question: How do I open Limewire? :rolleyes: Thanks a lot! Conor |
Java was needed to be installed before limewire was..So uninstall it and do it one more time...If you have KDE for a desktop then open kpackage , search package limewire and uninstall it there.. Heres a Tip: Download limewireother.zip instead of the rpm to your home folder..unzip it right where it is, home folder, open the limewire file and find runLime.sh, click it..It starts, 90% of the time...Remember, LW is a stand alone platform, all it wants is java and a desktop to run on.. Ive did that tip on Slack and RH based distros and it works..You deb guys are on your own :p Now i did read where it does take some linux distro a while to bring it up, ive only had that happen to me on PC-BSD.. If you want to know how to install it and get a icon in your menu then let me know..i forgot but its in my notes at home :rolleyes: |
Thanks! I take it you meant to say runLime.sh in the zip file? Yes, it would be helpful if I knew how to fully install it! ;) Thanks Conor |
Delete the shared and incomplete folder along with the limewire folder you unziped. Open a terminal and type, sudo unzip -u LimeWireOther.zip -d /opt/ sudo chown -R root:root /opt/LimeWire/ sudo gedit /usr/bin/runLime.sh Use gedit for gnome or kedit for KDE. Insert the following lines into the new file THEN SAVE IT. cd /opt/LimeWire/ ./runLime.sh Again in the terminal type, sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/runLime.sh sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/LimeWire.desktop Again, sub kedit for gedit if need be. Insert the following lines into the new file THEN SAVE IT. [Desktop Entry] Name=LimeWire Comment=LimeWire Exec=runLime.sh Icon=/opt/LimeWire/LimeWire.ico Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;Network; Look in your Menu / Internet and there it is.. Hope this helps you out. |
