    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    i have this problem when i try to install yahoo messenger.. who can help me? I am new in linux.
    Următoarele pachete au dependenţe neîndeplinite:
    ymessenger: Depinde: libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0) dar nu este instalabil
    Depinde: libssl0.9.6 dar nu este instalabil
    Depinde: xlibs (> 3.3.6) dar nu este instalabil

    and when i try to intall this dependencies

    root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install libglib1.2
    Citire liste de pachete... Terminat
    Se construieşte arborele de dependenţă
    Reading state information... Terminat
    Pachetul libglib1.2 nu este disponibil, dar este menţionat de către alt pachet.
    Aceasta ar putea însemna că pachetul lipseşte, s-a învechit, sau
    este disponibil numai din altă sursă
    Oricum următoarele pachete îl înlocuiesc:
    libglib1.2ldbl

    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    Ok, first things first:

    The version of Yahoo messenger you are trying to install is way too old, and not only it will probably not provide the latest features such as pc call and webcam with newer version, and I think the packages it requires are also old and unsupported.

    I usually install packages from the window manager, it just seems easier. but if you have to do it from the terminal... I only have a question: why you also put (--install) ? I just tested with a package and it worked without that option.
    Then again, just to make sure you don't misspell, type the first few characters, then press tab...

    I'm not an advanced user, pretty new to Linux myself.

    One more thing.... it's probably easy to attempt a translation of the errors, not everyone here knows romanian, i'll do it for you this time:

    [/translated]:

    [/end translation]

    As for the proxy issue, i can't help you with that, but I'm sure there is a yahoo compatible chat program that can work around it...

    Good luck!

    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    I noticed how so many people responded with a response that was like "what the hell is wrong with you trying to install Yahoo?! Just use gaim and giyachi" etc.

    I have tried all of these programs. The main issue I have is webcam but I want a program that lets me do what yahoo lets me do in windows.

    I dont want to install windows ONLY for yahoo.
    I don't want to dual boot ONLY for yahoo.
    I don't want to have to run 5 programs together to have the functionality yahoo has.

    There has to be a way to do this. If we can run virtually all other programs in wine we can do this. I have messed with it quite a bit and tried both Yahoo 8 and Beta 9 in the latest wine, both were giving me an error like you don't have internet. But after installing the latest beta 8.04 Ubuntu it actually connects just fine. The only issue I have now is the default fonts arent installed that yahoo uses.

    This to me is a much easier problem to resolve versus installing a 4 year old linux version or 5 other programs.

    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    I didn't hear of anyone actually having succes with Yahoo messenger on Wine. Maybe you were lucky! Did EVERYTHING work? By that I mean webcam, pc to pc calls, other things you might need.

    However I've heard some people having success with Gizmo for pc-to-pc calls (aka voice chat) and Kopete or Gyachi for webcam, they both support text chat, so if you don't care about webcam, go with gizmo only, if you don't care about pc-to-pc call go with Gyachi or Kopete only.

    Personally, I prefer Kopete vs gyachi. It has a much nicer interface than Gyachi IMO, and it detected my webcam out of the box, which gyachi didn't.

    I haven't testes voice on Gizmo, but it looks very promising.

    To summarize:

    - kopete or gyachi for text and webcam
    - gizmo for text and voice (pc-to-pc call)

    I never actually bothered trying to get Yahoo messenger to work on Linux because I hate the messenger client in the first place. Similar situation with Windows Live Messenger. I use aMSN for it, and I like it better.

    Remember that WINE is supposed to be used as a last resort. For example... why use DVD Shrink on Wine if you have so many options natively on Linux (DVD95, and K9copy come to mind right now). Same goes for everything else. I admit I run utorrent on Wine, but if you go on their website you see this:

    "For Wine, Windows 95 (Winsock2), 98/ME, NT/2000, XP, 2003, and Vista."
    source: http://www.utorrent.com/download.php

    I also play Diablo 2 , but apart from these I merely test the windows programs on WINE nothing for long term use.

    In your situation, the only thing I'm not comfortable with is the proxy stuff... I haven't really dealt with proxy so I can't say if the programs I listed above are going to work or not. I just think they will.

    I am really happy that file transfer now works in Pidgin (Ubuntu 8.04 with Pidgin from the official repos). The inability of the Linux YM clients to perform file transfers was one of the reasons for many of my friends had to go back to windows, after convincing them to try Linux.
