Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

I rather use Pidgin though, otherwise everybody can read the messages that is being saved on the phone :p
(you can disable history in Pidgin)

And of course, you have more functions like Nudging someone :p

That's what I love about the N900. We can be both happy.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

But with harmattan, we both cry (at the moment)

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

^^ and me too

www.meebo.com and add to the apps.. it is not perfect, but somehow it working.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9?
 

I'd probably use telepathy-butterfly for M$N.

You can easily live without the plugin UI. Once you have telepathy-haze and its dependencies (libpurple mainly) installed you can then add all your IM a/c's (pretty much everything that Pidgin supports) in the terminal with mc-tool. They are then all available through the N9's messaging app.

You just tap the "chat" button at bottom right and it takes you to contacts. Pick up the contact you want to chat with and away you go. This is how I use my Jabber accounts. It works well.

Caveat: I haven't installed telepathy-{haze,butterfly} or libpurple on my N9 yet (I do plan to), but I can't think of any reasons why this wouldn't work.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9?
 

Where to get the .deb's (and all the needed depencies) for Harmattan?

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

and all devs out there.. do not forget to make it easy to use and install.. people wants that!!

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9?
 

For Harmattan, specifically... you probably won't find anything. But seeing as though this is just Linux, your nearest Debian mirror should probably have the required armel debs.

Have a look at the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ create a new file in there (I'm not completely sure if filename matters, but all the existing ones in there have a `.list' extension, so keep to that) for your favourite mirror. It would just contain a single line...

I need to point out that I am NOT a Debian user and every time I need to do anything with apt-* or dpkg, I have to google how to do it first. :)

OK, once you have added your mirror to the list you need to update the apt database. Pretty sure that is:

At this point you can pretty much install whatever you like via apt-get. However, I've seen funky **** that scares me (I did a "dry-run" on an apt-get run and it suggested that a gazillion packages that were currently installed weren't needed and you should auto-remove em. Erm, no I don't want!!)

The best thing I can suggest to you is to google for apt/dpkg HOWTOs or cheat sheets. With that in hand you'll know more than me. LOL

I've decided to wait until after the big update coming from Nokia that we've heard about before I attempt to install libpurple, telepathy-{haze,butterfly} and friends.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9?
 

The problem with harmattan is that it gives a lot of depency errors (like hildon stuff)

Telepathy should be ported to Harmattan.
I didn't try out haze or pecan that is made for the N900 on Harmattan, I'll just try it out and see what will happen

Edit:
like I said, depency errors
