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.

The labels in the connections tab refer to the type of connection it was when established. If you see an "Ultrapeer" connection as a leaf, and then somehow become promoted to an Ultrapeer, you'll see still that "Ultrapeer" connection -- that means there's a big bug. Your servent should never change status and retain its old connections. If an Ultrapeer sees an "Ultrapeer" connection, or a Leaf sees a "Peer" or "Leaf" connection, there's a large problem.

We'll look into that GUI thing, though I suspect it'll be difficult to track down. You've updated all the video drivers and there's still a problem?

A number of versions ago, the spinning Lime was replaced by the 'blinking' plug... personally I preferred the spinning Lime!

LimeNut:

the problem is most likely in the version of X that you're using. The next version of Limewire will not freeze anymore, but will unfortunately not be able to download magnet links on such systems.

You should see if there are any updates available for your X environment, and potentially upgrade the entire distro (there is Suse 9.2 out afaik)

I just installed 4.3.3 on my SuSE 9.1 machine at work (which also has JRE 1.5.0_01 but a different video card and -- obviously -- different drivers) and it had the same GUI corruption.

It looked ok until I tried to download something. So I think the code to add the download sub-window must be the source of the problem.

One thing that's different, and may be a clue, is that the Linux version acted like my windowed copy of LW was actually running full-screen, even though it wasn't. In other words, if I did maximize LW, then I could see the bottom controls. Re-windowing it 'lost' them. I checked this on my Windows machine though and it's not the same; still a mystery there.

I did a net install of SuSE 9.2 onto another partition on my hard drive and the freezes also occur in SuSE 9.2 running X.org 6.8.1 (using java 1.4.2_06 that came with it).

Also, here is the kill -SIGQUIT output during the 15 to 30 second freeze in java 1.5.0 in SuSE 9.2.

lime nut:

. There isn't much we can do about it, we haven't been able to reproduce it on our linux systems which use virtually the same setup as Suse 9.2.

The next version will not freeze anymore, unfortunately magnet links will be available only through the command line.

Nothing wrong in this dump. There's no deadlock and all threads are in normal wait state.

Probably a freeze caused in your X11 display server by another X11 application: possibly a screensaver not starting properly or wanting to grab your mouse/keyboard input focus?
Does it occur if you disable your X11 screensaver?

Also check the status of your window manager. There may be some uncaught conditions. (Look at its log). Does it occur if you switch to another window manager (Motif, twm, ...)?

Also check the status of your X11 font server. May be there are logs indicating that it fails to initialize some font properly. May be caused by a corrupted font, or a font feature not working properly. This may cause the X11 display server to wait for a reply from the X11 font server. (check the logs too). I've read that the support and integration of TrueType font servers for X11 display servers was still not finished, or that some features in OpenType fonts were particularly slow or consuming too much resource. (Try disabling the TrueType fonts: does it still occur?)
