Installing Limewire 5.5.8 On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I was having a problem to run an old version of Limewire after upgrading my laptop operating system from Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

This is because I was so eager and can wait to buy Ironman 2 and Clash Of The Titan DVD.

After searching and googleling for solution then I’ve find out how to upgrade to Limewire 5.5.8.

Just follow these simple instruction here :

1. sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”
2. sudo apt-get update
3. download Limewire Basic 5.5.8 for Ubuntu Linux from here http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftLinuxDeb
4. search for the downloaded file, double click and follow the installation prosess

If you prompted with authentication key for Limewire Pro, just ignore it, click cancel and proceed to use it as usual.

There is another software you might consider to try, I just installed it but dont have any intentions to explorer gtk-gnutella, but you can give a try.
