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.

Default Limewire 4.8.1 problems on debian

Hi!

I am using limewire 4.8.1 on debian linux.

Yes, I installed it after the debian-repository-limewire told me there are security issues. I converted the .rpm package with alien into a .deb package (like 'alien LimeWireWhateverTheNameWas.rpm', result was limewire-free-blahblah.deb, installed with dpkg -i limewire-free-blah.deb).

My problem:

Limewire freezes up after some hours of operation.

It runs great at first, but then starts to slow down the computer, and finally becomes unresponsive and the GUI is no long drawn (even if the KDE window manager still draws the window borders etc).

How can I debug/correct this problem?

Hi,

thanks for reporting the problem. In the thread below there are instructions how to get something known as "stack dump". If you could get us one it will help us debug the issue.

Exclamation logging frenzy

Hello again, and best wishes from Helsinki!

Limewire has crashed several times but I finally got a read-out.

As LimeWire loses it, it takes 99,9% of the system resources with. Result is, for instance, that on my particular system I cannot start a browser, not from the root prompt. GUI becomes sluggish and unresponsive (KDE 3.3.2 on Debian stable with kernel 2.4.21).

As someone with experience with java developement, I'm not surprised with slightly sluggish behaviour, though. LimeWire seems to open up dozens of threads every time it turns (easily over 20 processes called 'java' running the minute you start it).

This is the only program that has potential, this hogging behaviour. My hardware is fast

* a bit over 2 GHZ processor frequency and
* ½ gig mem
* sata drives (work well)
* cable with 'unlimited bandwidth', connections abroad average 400 kb/s, locally (network wise) data moves much faster

ok enough bs, here is the output from the command

ps ax|grep Limewire > lwdebug.txt

The high number of processes is because of Debian's outdated glibc which does not support NPTL (native posix threading library).

I recommend making sure that the glibc version you have is compatible with the minimum requirements for the java runtime environment.

Ok, what version would that be? Just the newest one? I can easily apt-get any version you recommend.
