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.

What version of java are you using? When you type "java -version" into a console, what shows up?

Umm, the Limewire download page clearly states that you need to have at LEAST java version 1.3.1. I think a simple Java upgrade (preferably Sun's Java 1.4 version) will put your problems to rest.

Default Java versions?

I'm having the same problem, but...

I installed what I thought was Java version 1.3.1. I followed the link from LimeWire's website, and downloaded an install file named j2re-1_3_1_02-linux-i386-rpm.bin. This then decompresses to jre-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm. I installed the RPM as usual, so far so good.

When I then tried to install limewire, I got the same errors as those described in the first message of this thread. I checked the Java version as you suggested, and it returned:

Engine: Just-in-time v3 Version: 1.0.6 Java Version: 1.1

This is puzzling, since I installed the 1.3.1 RPM.

So I went back to Sun's site and downloaded 1.4.0. After I installed it, I still get the exact same problem, and java -version still returns

Engine: Just-in-time v3 Version: 1.0.6 Java Version: 1.1

What's going on here?

Linux will take the first version of Java that it sees in your path. In your case, you have two (and now possibly three) versions of Java installed. UNINSTALL ALL VERSIONS and then reinstall version 1.4 and you shouldn't have any problems. Remember, before installing ANY more versions of Java, make sure that the "java -version" command gives a responce of "bash: java -version command not found" or something like that. Only then is it safe to install a new version. Make sense? No? Of course not

Talking It's so EZ

Hey dudes that's so easy. I had the same problem, and it's all related to java version.

Do:

java -version

if it's anything else than:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)

then you have the wrong java version in your path.

Check in /usr/bin

There should be a symbolic link to java executable.

Remove it with: rm java

Now you need to make a link to the java executable of the Sun JRE kit you just installed for that purpose.

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java

now you will have a symlink to the right java executable. I had Kaffe installed and it's totally outdated. go anywhere else in your system and do that:

java -version

Now you should have the right virtual machine version number.

and now try again to start your install.

Good luck!

Angry Terrible Installation under Mandrake

You guys have to do a better job of making the installation of LimeWire under Mandrake. What a pain in the rear. Basically I have given up on this. Why dont you write directions on how to do this and put it on the webpage. I would never even consider paying for a product I can not install.

Once you've managed to install a newer JRE, the installation of LimeWire is a piece of cake. Unfortunately many Distribution still install JRE 1.1.8 (or even older ones) by default.

Nobody said it was going to be easy, but hey, that's what we are using linux/bsd for.
