Glad to hear and thanks for the quick feedback.

(Java bug reports posted on the forum have a habit of getting stuck in moderation queue so you probably did not see your post for some time.)

I've created a simple script for Linux to do what LimeStart does on MacOSX; ie: adjust the connection file's date then launch LW. I don't know how good this script is for all linuxes but does use the shell script as basic as this script is. Any improvements I'm sure experienced linux users could make themselves. And even better if you could send your improved versions here. The way this one works is it launches the runLime.sh file. I'm not sure about terminal users of LW though. My script is intended for the gui operation.

I have uploaded a file called linux_lwSettings_Connect_LimeStart.tar.gz which includes all needed for first time installation of any LW 5 or LPE for Linux with spam search filter, terminal choices for hostiles to install, message to inform of your choice and when installation is finished. Added a LW 4 equivalent (LW4 settings are a little different and does not need LimeStart.). This can be downloaded from any of the LW Linux folders or LPE folders hosted by the forum. A single sh script to install everything is included. But can also be downloaded here.
LimeStart can arguably be located anywhere on your system. Though I suspect LW linux users have already created their own equivalents.

I'm at kindergarten with linux so please forgive my naivety. (This is about my 4th day on linux.) (I gave up on the launching of the jar file option, too difficult for me.)

I corrected a mistake I made before now for the hostiles files for linux, did not realise the capital H would prevent it working. I re-uploaded those files.

For just the Linux LimeStart alone, here. Desktop, anywhere to place it within your permissible zones it should work. If not, let me know or the fixes required. Since I was unable to install the LW deb package I can not check LimeStart works as intended with the program directories. Ubuntu does not have any program folder per se.
To speed startup, you may wish to change the 'find' command to 'locate' if you have run LW in a previous boot session, or even replace with the direct location of the runLime.sh file and a launch command. But keep in mind LW is one of the slowest java applications on earth to open anyway lol.

Any feedback on LimeStart for Linux would be greatly appreciated.

Not any special helpful news. At least in my testing on Ubuntu LW refuses to run with Java 7 alone. Nor did it seem to work with the open java 6. On linux you can have a few versions of java installed and simply make java 6 the default (and I think link particular purposes to particular versions.) I don't know how others got LW to work on their Linuxes. But I had to install the Sun (Oracle) Java 1.6 and set it as default to get LW 5 to work. For my ubuntu I needed the jre-6u43-linux-x64.bin file, found here (along with others), without the need to register, give name, address, phone, company, purpose, name of the neighbor's cat. For anybody else who cannot rely on the open JDK version. As the bash script suggests, sh.

OK silly me, LPE has no problems on Linux running under Oracle's Java 7 (64-bit). No signs of buggy-ness either. LW does not like the open source java jdk 6 or 7 on my ubuntu.

Just discovered an answer to a problem I've had for a few months now. 'Unable to scan for viruses' after finishing downloading a file. This issue also seemed to affect transferring music files to iTunes.

The answer is here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...n-viruses.html. This only affects Windows users of LPE. You can use NotePad or WordPad to open and save the props file with.

I will re-upload the LPE & LW5.5 installers to include this instruction in the props file that's installed if you install the security packages. I did not suffer this issue on Windows 8 (but since discovered the AVG bundle is not supported on Win 8 anyway), but is intended as an extra precautionary step against the possibility of this issue occurring to anybody else. Edit: I only changed the File_Girl LPE props file so far because those using Metapirate's LPE may wish to keep the AV active. But as far as we know, it is no longer possible to download the avg virus definitions (since about Jan/Feb 2011.)

If you install LimeStart for Windows, my guess is you will not suffer this issue again. Whenever you get java updates and something goes wrong, then chances are the updates were 64-bit java. 32-bit java needs to be the installed/updated after the 64-bit java or problems occur. Such as xflbret's problem here.

Not sure if your problem was solved but thought I'd add those comments as they are highly relevant to all users of LW 5/LPE.

Sorry gang , i have deleted my lw by mistake from my hp vista pc ; please supply if possible a link for limewire so that i can install lw back on my pc .

Post #1 of this thread (see link below) has several links to LPE - both the original & File_Girl71's versions. Make sure to read the whole post, as LOTR has added some extras to installers
