Hi there, I've compiled Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 2 for i386. I used '--enable-vv' flag.
You can find here (scroll down to the bottom and choose Free. Wait a few seconds)

If anyone have issues with oRTP, have a look here (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=602241&postcount=2).

It seems to work pretty well after installing the oRTP. It's a bit slower than 1.5, though.

thanks works fine under dapper! which version of libortp did you install?

January 25th, 2006, 10:33 AM

I installed it for dapper and it works. Though I need to install those versions of libortp on the bottom of your response.

I even found a weird bug. If you click on people in your buddy list, sometimes it behaves weirdly. It puts people on the top of your buddy list if you click on them or it will highlight them, which its supposed to do. Weird.

hehe glad it worked.

Salut ;)

thanks works fine under dapper! which version of libortp did you install?

I had to remove both libortp0 and libortp0-dev packages before installing the other ones. The version of oRTP provided for Breezy is 1.0.1-6ubuntu7.

Sorry...but where should I but --enable-vv?

Are you able to play sounds? I installed it in Dapper as well but I can't play any sounds in Gaim now.

Thanks for the quick .deb btw!

shanghaipi

January 25th, 2006, 12:31 PM

yeah, there are no sounds built in. That buddy list bug that i mentioned earlier might be annoying enough to uninstall. Is anyone else using Dapper having this trouble?

MighMoS

January 25th, 2006, 12:36 PM

What does --enable-vv do? After reading the updated Gaim News page, it says it doesn't work with anything, just work has been done so that its easier to do in the future...

I have beta1, with working Guifications. Don't want beta2 without guifications if there aren't "important" changes in beta2.

I'm using dapper and have no sound either but I don't get the buddy problem!

Grey

January 25th, 2006, 03:53 PM

I've reverted to beta1, as I just couldn't get beta2 working properly. But in the few cases that it WAS working, sound was working fine (select esd from the sound options), but I'm not sure if guifications was working. If someone can fix my glib error, I would be happy to compile a new guifications deb. :)

To the people who haven't sound yet, try this.

Go to Preferences -> Sound. In Method option, select Command.

In Command for Sound, type aplay.

Now you can do a test by pressing the Test button.

I think the safer way to go is to copy your directory and then delete one at a time, so you can copy back the false positives when you are done.

Great improvements in beta 2 over beta 1. Is anyone else getting a bug when you try to change your status where the menu shows a large grey box with only the first selection visible and then just a down arrow and you have to hold over the down arrow to see the rest of the menu entries? I have a feeling this is a GTK bug and not gaim though.

To install the beta2 you can download
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=387865

sudo alien gaim-2.0.0-0.beta2.fc2.i386.rpm
sudo dpkg -i gaim_2.0.0-1_i386.deb

Of course if you don't have "alien" installed just run

sudo apt-get install alien

rwabel

January 27th, 2006, 07:07 AM

what kind of error do you get? checkinstall doesn't work fine (or it didn't when I was trying it) under dapper. get the latest deb file from the checkinstall homepage and it should work. no more segmentation fault :-)

Sound support is included but I don't know how to make it workning. I did't changed anything in dapper about sound.

Please do tell me how to make working sound.
Install esound-clients, and in the sound preferences, select custom and enter esdplay %s. You'd also want libao-dev .

I'm using beta2. It's cool :). For the life of it I can't get it to connect to MSN (yes, gnutls is enabled), but heh, not a big issue, I just run aMSN for that.

Dunno, I compiled it myself and it was there like magic.

Has anyone gotten it to compile with --enable-vv? I know they said they weren't supporting it until the next major release but since the code was there I thought I'd try it anyway.

Gaim 2.0 is indeed great. And, now, with the upcoming merge with gaim-vv, we should see voice and webcam support sometime. So, great howto! Very useful.

Now, I've been using this plugin which I found useful, called autoprofile, and managed to compile t for gaim 2.0. Due to my inexperience in programming, I had to disable the HTTP component, but otherwise it works. It's very useful and I use it to show the XMMS song in the status message. I'm attaching it here.

How to install it:

cd <download folder>
unzip autoprofile.so.zip
mkdir ~/.gaim/plugins
cp autoprofile.so ~/.gaim/plugins/

Then, restart gaim, go to plugins and enable it and use it anyway you like. :) enjoy!

gaim2-beta2
- sound: command (had to search for which command to use, dropdown is easier)
- no more option to set 1 account on Away. It's all accounts or nothing

What I would like to see:
Subgroups, voice, video, sending custom emoticon, ...

This is still possible, you can define your own status sets. Hit the gigantic status button and scroll down to new. A new window pops up where you can "Use a different status for some accounts". It works, but it is a damn complicated solution, which i personally don't like at all...

I think its because its trying to make it unified, and not have it matter what account or protocol you're using. However, due to how much noise I've heard about this, they may include some kind of functionality for ... if they know about it. Has anyone posted a bug report?

Badda Bing! Badda Boom!

I spent close to two hours trying to complie this thing from source. After getting continual errors (I'd not properly dotted all the all the Is and crossed all the Ts after "./configure"), I gave up and went the RPM route.

I wanted to avoid that because I've had problems on occassion with RPM packages, but fortunately this went very well.

Gaim 2.0 has some nice new features. Unfortunatly VV won't be one of them. Click here for details. (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/index.php?id=166)

Also, if you're not a Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/) member, you might consider becoming one. It's free. You'll be able to keep track of your favorite projects that are hosted there and be notified by email when new files are released. I'm keeping track of Gaim (and about 50 other projects) this way.

If you don't want to mess with CVS.
CVS and binary packages are can be, and are, used very different purposed. Binary packages are "stable" releases, or at least semi-approved. CVS is used by crack-heads like myself occasionally who either a) want to develop a plugin and have it work with the latest release, b) have a bug in the current release and want to see if its been fixed, or c) just want the new features sooner (bad! bad!)

But I don't understand the concept of going through converting a foreign format to deb, and going through all of this when there are at least three or four debs compiled for Gaim and linked to all over the place. Your point is valid, but I think you've misunderstood. CVS is for people who don't mind getting their hands (or systems) dirty. But binary packages have been provided for those who just wish to reap the rewards.

No, you don't. You can explicitly tell it to not enable perl support, or if you don't have perl, the configure script should recognize this, and not include it. While I don't know if any, or which ones, you may wind up missing some plugins because of this.

Just a little thought...

Below is a picture of GAIM beta2.
At the bottom you can see the HUGE "sleeping"-button, and a smaller "disconnected"-button.

http://users.pandora.be/Nyx/Linux/Gaim_2.jpg

Why don't we throw away the HUGE buttons, and use smaller ones?
Take a look at picture below (a little fun with The Gimp), and I'll explain.

http://users.pandora.be/Nyx/Linux/Gaim_3.jpg

First of all: go back to the beta1-settings, where you could expand the protocol-statusses.
For example: all you would see, is the yellow "global gaim" button. The size is the small size like the "you disconnected" (from beta2).
You can drag the upperside of the button up, so you can see all the statusses of all your accounts. In the picture, I used 2 MSNaccounts, 1 ICQaccount.

You can set status for each account separetly: in the picture is an example for 1 MSNaccount.
Offcourse the same applies for the other MSNaccount, and the ICQaccount.

If you wish to set ALL your protocols to 1 status (for example: set all your protocols to "away"), then you can use the "global gaim"-button to set 1 status for all protocols.

I think this would be great... 1 SMALL button at the bottom of your contactslist, which you can expand.
You can chose seperate statusses for each protocol, AND you can set all your protocols to 1 status.

I know this should be posted in a GAIM-forum, but they suck :p
Anyway, what do you guys think?

I don't know if anyone have said it yet but, in checkinstall don't name the package gaim. Call it gaim2 or something. Otherwise it can get owerwritten by the old package because it's also called gaim. Apt might try to "update" it.You could do that. Make sure that you remove the gaim package before installation, though. And, uhm, regarding your question if this was mentioned before...well, at least the fact that apt will try to 'update' it was mentioned one post before yours. ;)

And, uhm, regarding your question if this was mentioned before...well, at least the fact that apt will try to 'update' it was mentioned one post before yours. ;):neutral: Hrm Hrm, Yeah, well it is a long thread :p

Well, being the guy I am, I've noticed that Gaim Beta3 is tarballed an on the sourceforge mirrors, so I've built up some binaries (sorry, I have no PPC packages for beta3, but the source should build just fine). They are available at http://mighmos.org/packages.php .

These are built on Breezy Badger, I can not say if they will insult your mother, cause your computer to turn into the HAL 9000, or just flat out crash if you install them on Dapper Drake. 6.06 users, you've been warned.

Wow you must really be on top of things. I don't even see it mentioned on the gaim homepage yet!

BTW, these don't run cleanly on dapper.

What exactly doesn't "run cleanly" with beta3?? I ask because I wonder its worth the trouble upgrading.

Well, the breezy builds call for some older version of lib-dbus and lib-glib-dbus. I just downloaded the tgz and made a checkinstall package to use for now. I haven't found any noticable differences yet from beta 2, but i'm sure something has changed.

Beta 3: What goes up must fall down?

March 29th, 2006 - 1:27PM EST (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/index.php?id=167)
Great day in the park, we've released Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3. You know the drill--you can find assorted builds on our sourceforge page (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=405479). We'd like to note that none of the beta 3 RPMs include a Gadu-Gadu protocol plugin. So if you need Gadu-Gadu then you should stick with beta 2. And as my pappy always used to say: don't hitch your wagon to a stump if it has eyes. We never did know what he was talking about.
What's up with those (fedora) rpm's? :confused:
We want .deb's ! :)

Any noticable changes?

Any noticable changes?No, seems as if this is a bugfix-only release. UI and options are exactly the same.

By not running cleanly, I mean I have no idea what will happen. I don't have a Dapper Drake install right now (although I probably will test Flight 6). Its quite possible everything will work fine, its quite possible nothing will go right. If someone tests it, some feedback would be great.

And there aren't too many noticable changes from -beta2 to -beta3. Mostly bug fixes, translations, and polish.

I just tried to attach my .deb of beta3 build on Dapper Drake, but it seems as if the forum doesn't allow uploading files that big. If someone wants to host it, send me a pm.
It's only a checkinstall build and I cannot guarantee that it will work for you. I have an AMD processor, but I didn't compile it with any configuration options exept --enable-gnutls=yes. It works here, but use at your own risk.

cerix was so kind to host my deb for dapper drake: http://emailthatguy.shackspace.com/gaim_2.0.0beta3.tar.gz
But keep in mind that it's only a checkinstall build (see my post above).

pgmario: If you want to, just download and compile my source package for Gaim. The binaries are for 5.10, but the source should compile anywhere. Then you can have Gaim in the same format the upstream uses (there-by reducing headaches with dependency issues).

Okay, this is my evil twin speaking (:p)

Below is a screenshot with
- Gaim2-beta2
- aMSN 0.96b (cvs-snapshot)

Gaim:
+ nicely blended with desktop (well duh, gnome and gaim)
- Very little options for msn-protocol

aMSN:
- buttugly (tcl/gtk is just fugly on any windowmanager (even in windows))
+ sending AND receiving of webcam works
+ customizing nicks (alias + nick + pers.msg)
+ sending custom emoticons
+ viewing personal message

screenshot (http://users.pandora.be/Nyx/Linux/aMSN_0.96b.jpg)

I am not into the discussion wether something is bloated or not. It just shows that is *IS* possible in Linux.
It would be extremely nice of gaim could incorporate these thingies too (custom nicks, pers.msg, webcam,..). The faster, the better :)

(if any gaim developper should ever read this: yes I know, "do it yourself or don't moan")

I couldn't get Gaim2 work with the .deb files provided in this topic (even not the lateste that were compiled for Dapper).

I installed gaim with the .deb files compiled for Dapper provided on the following page:

You can give aliases to the contacts in Yahoo. The aliases will then appear instead of their Yahoo ID's.

I tried asking on the Sourceforge forums for the Gaim project about this, and I was told that my "autotool version is too old" :confused:

I've been having this problem with subversion versions for a while, even though the beta compiles perfectly.

Hi. What i did was getting the latest build of 2.0 for fedora 5 from the official page and then changed it with alien. Instaled. No problem at all.
But then the update manager keeps tellin me over and over again that there's un update of gaim, that ofcourse is the default version (1.something) ... Can i trick the update manager so he doen't bother me again?

Ps: sorry if this is allready answered, but i did search a lot and didn find something like this ... ](*,) ... Oh, and sorry about my english #-o

evilhomer: I just put together a tutorial for otr 3.0.0 and gaim 2.0beta3.1. I hope it works. It uses a snapshot .deb of gaim, not the CVS, but seems to work well.

Gaim 2.0beta3 + OTR 3.0.0 (http://christer.homeip.net/index.php/2006/08/20/gaim-20beta3-off-the-record-300-ubuntu-dapper/)

I'm looking for an update of gaim 2.0beta3 that doesn't crash when using a SOCKS 5 proxy (for Tor). Anyone have any tips there?

UPDATE: Gaim 2.0beta3.1 (released yesterday) solves the issue with the proxy that I had. This is available in my tutorial on my site. I hope this works for people. Any feedback?
