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. 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. |

 How do I install Frostwire on Linux Hey Folks below are the instructions someone posted to download frostwire onto linux. This is great unless you are a total newbie to linux (which is me and probably tons of other people) For us newbies we need alot more detail because I have no idea what any of that below means. What is "Alien" and how do you install it? What is and how do you create and install a debian package? What is a rpm? What is sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm. What is sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_{version-number}_i386.deb. and how do you install these things? I feel like an idiot but please remember some of us have been living in the windows world where we download a program, find the execution file, double click it and it installs. Linux is an awesome operating system and I love how solid and bullet proof it is but wow...now I know why it has never gone mainstream. The average person is just not capable nor do they have the time of doing all this. Can anyone help and post some really detailed instructions. I did download the noarch.tar.gz That is as far as I got. Thanks! 1. Download the latest LimeWire from http://www9.limewire.com/beta/LimeWireLinux.rpm 2. Make sure you have "alien" installed: sudo apt-get install alien 3. Create a debian package from the rpm: sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm 4. Install the debian package: sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_{version-number}_i386.deb 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.  |

| Installing LimeWire on Linux and Java - what am I doing wrong? A total newbie to Linux but I did find some great newbie feeds for information. I'm using Ubuntu Linux 12.04.  However, LimeWire and Java are a total different kettle of fish. I removed all versions of Java and java settings after continual LW install problems with same message each time. I installed Sun (Oracle) Java 1.6, because I had no luck with the open source version. (my Ubuntu only runs the 64-bit sun java.) LimeWirePirateEdition.deb file always tells me it needs either java 6 or 7 but cannot find them. Identical whether I use Software Centre or Terminal. My problem is identical to this [ubuntu] intalling limewire: java dependency does not satisfy. Thus I am unable to install LW 5. That thread does not actually give an answer to the problem, it only says how to install Sun Java. I tried to install the LW 4.18.8.deb and same issue. Anybody be able to help here with getting LW 5.deb up and running on Linux? I then tried the LimeWireOther.zip and finally got LW 4.16 to open. Problem here is each time I open LW, I keep getting asked to do setup again. I tried moving a fresh connection file from desktop to ~/.limewire via terminal but LW would not connect regardless. The only way I was able to connect was to manually add a few hosts and then all was good for connecting each time I started LW4 (and non-firewalled.) This LW4 program folder sits on the desktop. Edit: Nevermind, after a reboot the need to redo setup problem stopped. I was later able to use LimeWireOther5.4.7.zip without problem and connected fine. But I want to find how to install the LW deb versions successfully. The fact that LW 5.4.7 (Other) works fine with this java leaves me pondering what the problem is with the deb packages. Or are deb files not intended for Ubuntu? Here someone explains how to get the deb versions to run if not running on a system that supports deb files (similar to the zipped other version.) But if ubuntu supports deb, then I'd like to be able to overcome whatever issue is causing my problem. |
