Help!

I am trying to download limewire to m linux laptop.Lime wire just opens up and is blank,how to fix this?

 

First step is to read this. Next step is to state your problem more clearly. You're unable to download limewire? When you download it, you can't find it? You are trying to install it from source? What version of Linux are you using? All important questions.

 

Pita is right; this question/thread is very vague and needs to be cleaned up.

However, if you are using Ubuntu, then you should look for Frostwire in the repositories. It's Limewire backend modified for Linux, and installs effortlessly via the repos.

 

I installed limewire.I click to open it and it comes up and says " do you want to bu the pro version....yes,later,why should i,.Then it turns blank.I have ubuntu

 

where can i get frostwire

 

where can i get frostwire...I am a noob at this

 

Indeed you are. I suggest that if you are going to learn how to use Linux, you use Google or some other resources to find the meanings of very common terms. Repositories is a very common term in the Linux world, and it is the source of all your software. It downloads applications and other things from remote servers. Just click Applications>Add/Remove Software and search for Frostwire.

 

I knew that but it says frostwire is like a limewire sort of thing.I downloaded it from the internet becuase i cant find in add programs.I already do it downloaded the java.The limewire start up is working but after that it goes blank.Heres a pic.

 

Install Java and/or turn off Beryl.

 

Limewire has issues loading Java because Ubuntu installs it in a non-standard location (as it unfortunately does for many things). Therefore, Limewire can't load the Java libraries correctly.

Install Frostwire. Done, end of story.

 

Its there, keep looking



Also, firefox has tabs for a reason, friend

 

frostwire is awsome.Thanks for the help guys!!
