maplestory and limewire in linux

[99bluefoxx]

can i run maplestory in linux using wine??
and wear can i find limewire setup for linux, as the limewire links on the website are dead

[Ripfox]

Use frostwire.

[99bluefoxx]

frost wire ??...
what is that?

[hikaricore]

Since rip didn't give you much info, here's a link where you can download ubuntu packages of Frostwire.

http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Frostwire

And the official site for frostwire: http://www.frostwire.com/

Use it if you like, atleast think about trying it out as it is one of the better p2p applications imho for linux.

ok thanks
but i still need a limewire link to direct connect to my win xp computer so i can recover music files to this computer, as this has more hdd space, and is also my main

[hikaricore]

You don't need limewire for that lol.

You need to search around the forums for info on Samba so you can access windows based shares from Ubuntu. :)

ok i downloaded the installer but now it says:
"status: Error: dependancy is not satisfiable: Sun-java5-jre"
wear do i get that
(note: i am a brand new linux user, i would be windows but i got ripped off by the store that was supposed to "fix" my computer, and they installed a demo copy, then a pirated version and both killed them selves)

Alt+F2

type: gnome-terminal

Click Run (or Ok forget which).

Then type:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre

you will need to have the "multiverse" repositories enabled for this to work

again: i am completly new and as such i unfortunaly didnt understand the links, if there is an step by step out there that would be nice, as i am still learning, still confusing help is better than none at all, i think...

[hikaricore]

Alt F2 should open a run box.

Just goto the applications menu and open a terminal, I was trying to keep it simple.


Sorry about that, hopefully these links will explain things a little easier. ^_^

[99bluefoxx]

[99bluefoxx]

[hikaricore]

Just glad to help. Hope you get your troubles sorted out with your music. :)

[99bluefoxx]
