Good instructions. They worked for me. Limewire is up and running. Did not try Frostwire (yet).

[quote comment="28618"]thanks for the tip on the limewire install its up and running, I did have to install alien, also I could not get alien to find the limewire using the -d switch so I replaced it with -i and that completely installed limewire with no further effort… T.[/quote]

Bad News:
Hey, if you are getting a blank screen when starting the actual Limewire, and you’re using Beryl, like I am, then just right-click your beryl thingie and select your Gnome or Compiz window manager. I found all my window contents were suddenly displayed.

Good News:
Although you don’t seem to be able to use Limewire in Beryl, you can switch back to beryl after you get your window contents displayed, and you can continue to work with your neat-o 3d desktop and the window contents remain displayed until you restart Limewire! (Worked for me, anyway. Hope it does for you too.)

P.S.: I’m using Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty with a Radeon x1600 Pro and Beryl. Installed Limewire Pro from the Limewire website, with the package installer that automatically opens it from Firefox. Installation was easy and Java 5 installed automatically (after confirming in the terminal box below the install when it paused).

After restoring the Beryl window manager, you may have to restore the Limewire window from your taskbar on the bottom, and if you try to open another window, such as your options, with Beryl, then you’ll have to do the whole window manager thing again. It’s good to get all the preferences set up first, and then switch back to Beryl.

re aiglx and a blank window.

you can run limewire in a nested xserver – once that has no windowmanager, or beryl or aiglx

xnest is the command you need.
man xnest for info on the options.

looks a litle bit horrible, but works just like any other window.

beryl effects get applied to the xnest window, but not to the limewire running within it, so no white screen

works for lots of other apps that have issues with bery/compiz
