limewire issues

First, you need to make sure that you enable 'Universe' and 'Multiverse'.

Update and then open up 'Synaptic'. You will find the java files needed for limewire there. (at least I did)

After java is installed, go here Ubuntu - and follow the instructions.

It was actually very simple! Just be sure to enter the run commands in the text files that the terminal will pull up during the installation correctly!

I ran into a bit of a headache because I typed them in instead of pasting them in.

I did not capatalize ONE letter that SHOULD have been capatalized and Limewire would not install and did not give me any errors or any clues about what the problem was!

Good Luck!

Heyyo, what java files are you talking about? I just dled Java 6.06 .. I opened up the Synaptic manager and marked every file named java to install. Could you post which files you were talking about ? I did everything else correct with limewire, and have the icon shown when I click Applications -- Internet-- ( it shows limewire icon) but was not able to get it to open. hopefully doing this java thing will solve that. let me know wheny you can, thx--
