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.

BlackLight is flying high
Default LimeWire freezes on the splash screen...

I've been using LimeWire (4.12) for a lot of time without any problem...until, on a mysterious day, I tried to start it and it was freezing on the splash screen, and didn't go ahead. Then I've just tried FrostWire (4.10), but I have the same problem...

This is what I get (both with FrostWire and LimeWire) when I try to start them from console:

Starting LimeWire...
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
Suitable java version found [java = 1.5.0_06]
Configuring environment...
Loading LimeWire:

and nothing but the splash screen, frozen.

I'm using Slackware Linux with kernel v.2.4.29, and of course I have Java installed on my machine (JDK v.1.5.0_06), as I am a Java developer. I've also tried defining in the PATH environment variable other Java versions installed on my machine (JRE v.1.5.0_06 first and JRE v.1.4.2 then), and I've tried with the latest version of JRE (1.5.0_08) too, but nothing changed...

I've also tried to start it manually, bypassing the controls made in the file runLime.sh, by typing

$JAVA_DIR/bin/java -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons .logging.impl.NoOpLog -D java.library.path=. -jar LimeWire.jar

where, instead of $JAVA_DIR, I've put all the directories where Java is installed on my machine, but nothing changed anyway.
And, of course, I deleted the directories .frostwire and .limewire in my home directory, even if they were empty, but nothing changed...

Please help me if you can!

Salut Blacklight, both LW and FW work for me in Ubuntu Linux. I would try to contact LW team as some devs are using Linux and might help more than I. On IRC, they are on Freenode irc.freenode.net#limewire

That's what I'd try. And if you get to fix your problem, please post it here as it might be good for other users and our community knowledge, thanks!

Ciao

This is what I get when I try to kill LimeWire's frozen process from a terminal (with CTRL+C):

************************************************** ****************
Something went wrong with LimeWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Ctrl+C emits the TERM signal, we need the QUIT signal. Open another terminal, find the proc # of the java process :

ps ax | grep -i limewire

and then issue kill -QUIT to that process. The stack trace will be printed in the other terminal, the one you've started LimeWire from.

Ok, everything fixed...
I think it was a problem related to my host name, because just typing

hostname localhost

everything works again...!

I'm having this same problem. Typically FrostWire and LimeWire start out fine, but then I get a frozen gray splash screen.

BTW: here's my stack trace:
