Ok let me see if I've got this right...
To get the MSN working & integrated with the UI... You need telepathy-butterfly-plugin.
This is currently in Extras-testing & is not advised for new Maemo users to install.
Am I right?

And as someone suggested. You can could enable the repo, install the plugin and then disable the repo (Catalog). Just lookin up the package name, (hang on while I get my N900). It's called... 'account-plugin-butterly'

Would your advice be take a risk or leave it? (just advice... no comeback on you if I balls it up!)

Enabling and leaving it on? Risky
Enabling it, grabbing that one file, and disabling it? Not that Risky (depending on the size of the file though telepathy-butterfly and telepathy-haze would be fine)

You might have to uninstall the older versions before you can cleanly installed the promoted versions. (EDIT: In fact that would be my advice. Uninstall the old versions first. Don't let the Appllication Manager install the updates when the become available.) At worse, some minor command line cleanup as root might be required (which can be dangerous all on it's own).

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:42.
Pidgin is a seperate instant messenger client (which is great but it's not integrated). The plugins (haze, butterfly, etc..) come from the Pidign project but can also be used in telepathy (the n900's default IM system).
