@Acir_RuleZz
Why can't it work? O_o Launch emesene from the terminal and see if there's any error message. With regards to CLI IM clients, I use Mcabber for my Gtalk. I'm not too sure about MSN (I don't use anything MS), since it seems to only handle jabber protocols. CenterIM seems to work with MSN, though how much, I'm not sure. I doubt you'll be able to video conference and all that, but text chats should be fine. You'll need to setup a config file, I think... or maybe you can configure it once you launch it. Note: the first time you run it, make sure you launch it from the Master Pane in scrotwm. That way you waon't get any dialog boxes being cut off in case you need to configure. It's in your repos, so you don't need to compile from source. Here's the project page for you to refer to. http://www.centerim.org/index.php/Main_Page Off to bed. Good night. |
