[robertchahine]

do you have java installed on ubuntu?

[ubutufan]

A very good equivalent of limewire for linux is frostwire
You may download it from www.frostwire.com and then double click on it to install.

You will find yourself in a familiar atmosphere on the likes of limewire

Yes, use Frostwire (requires Java) instead, or GTK-Gnutella for a lighter alternative.
