Hi, I've tried to make it easy but I haven't tried the following therefore I am not sure it is accurate. If it isn't I hope someone will correct.

The following should work. First, install rtcomm, see http://rtcomm.garage.maemo.org

Then you must add Collabora Haze by going to http://www.gronmayer.com/it/dl.php?id=167

You might have to add Chinook extras repository
Catalog name: maemo Extras chinook
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
Distrbution: chinook
Components: free non-free

Just like before.... i get to step 3 on rtcomm installation and i get a error message that says " unable to install rtcomm-beta-os2008. Some application packages required for this installation are missing"

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

When you go to install the rtcomm .deb from the site and the popup comes up asking you if you want to install it, tap Details instead of Ok and then tap the Problems tab and list here what packages it says are missing.

All I can say is wow....i knew there was going to be a learning curve...but this is insane.....!!!!

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

aplication: rtcomm-beta-os2008
RTCom Beta release
maintainer: Dmitry rozhkov
status:not installed
category: communication
available version: 2.4
download size: 749kb

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

That's the Summary tab, there should be a Problems tab in that same window if there are missing dependencies.

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

under the error details it says
unable to install rtcomm-beta-os2008
application packages missing: libdaumono(>=0.11)
bind9-host l host
libpurpleo(>=2.4.3)
telepathy-haze(>=0.2.0-1collabora1)
libdaemonO(>=0.11)

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

quazy,

* Please go to Applications -> Settings -> Application Manager.
* Now, use the stylus to click on the top left icon of the Application Manager.
* Go to Tools -> Application catalogie...
* Click on Collabora catalogue with your stylus. Now click Edit.
* Does distribution say chinook? Change it to diablo. Now click OK.
* The Application manager should now automatically refresh and check for updates. Now everything should install correctly.

The reason for the above is that I referred you to an .install file which was for Chinook. The Gronmayer distribution list is excellent, but user generated, and it did not include the Diablo entry yet because Collabora does support Diablo. I have added the repository to Gronmayer now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

i have the latest software on my N810 and im runnin pidgin just fine

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

I'm also running Pidgin on my machine... an N800, running 30-2. I did have to add the Chinook repository to get it, but it installed alright and is working fine. What steps have been taken to add extra repositories to your unit?

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

Pidgin is in Collabora, too. With telepathy-haze.

Extras should be enabled. If not, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

I bought the N810 last week and I installed pidgin without a problem. I use it for MSN.
I already have used MSN with this tool.
Just download it from this link on the N800 itself

http://maemo.org/downloads/search/ap...roducts_search[1][property]=title&org_openpsa_products_search[1][constraint]=LIKE&org_openpsa_products_search[1][value]=pidgin&org_openpsa_products_search[2][property]=os&org_openpsa_products_search[2][constraint]=LIKE&org_openpsa_products_search[2][value]=OS2008&fetch=Search

and click on the green arrow. Click op 'Open' and then the app manager will install it.

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

It fails to update the components (and for good reason, the component folders are missing from diablo on http://packages.collabora.co.uk/maemo/dists/diablo/).

So I have the same problem as quazy -- RTcomm beta won't install because of the wrong versions of the libpurple0 and telepathy-haze.

Please help!

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

Yeah then there are 2 repositories with same package name. This sucks.

If you look here and follow these paths here

http://packages.collabora.co.uk/maem...armel/Packages

You'll see e.g. pool/user/t/telepathy-idle/telepathy-idle_0.1.2-1_armel.deb

This becomes http://packages.collabora.co.uk/maem....2-1_armel.deb

You can grab your missing ones manually and install them with dpkg. IIRC thats what I did.

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

Thanks, got all the packages, but telepathy-haze from there cannot be installed -- the error message is "invalid package" or something like that. So I've had to install from repo, but then RTComm cannot be installed again, because the repo has the lesser version. :(

Re: need messeger for os2008 v4.2008.30-2
 

Invalid package? Are you sure its correct downloaded? Can you retry to download it? Are you sure your device isn't full? Try $ df -h and notice the / and the memory card's disk space (or use GUI app for this). Good luck, I'm truelly sorry this is such a hassle to install.

hmm, did the recent ssu from nokia break something? i cant seem to log into msn using rtcomm now...
