Ubuntu :: Messaging Menu - 2 Instances Of Broadcast

Jun 17, 2010

For some reason, since logging in recently, I've got 2 instances of the Broadcast in the messaging menu. One of them is indicated as running, the other one is not. When I select the one that isn't running, a *third* instance of the Broadcast button appears - so I now have 2 running, and one not running in the messaging menu. In the usr/share/indicators/messages/applications folder, I have 3 files - Gwibber, Empathy, and Thunderbird.

Ubuntu Security :: Secure P2p Instant Messaging

Feb 5, 2011

Is there a program already set up to do this? Probably similar to WASTE (URL...), though waste's client is currently unsupported on the newest version of ubuntu (make error having to do with char* or something). Preferably windows and linux supported. Another thing that could be of use would be a local ssh chat. For example someone connects to my box either as me or as another user and runs 'hiben' and a window (or i ran a command or something and have a window open for it) pops up that we can chat in. Something other than single line messages.

Ubuntu :: Empathy Server For Local Messaging?

Aug 1, 2011

Is there a way to install am empathy compatible server on a linux machine? What am I looking for?Here is the scenario. We have a small business with a lot of people on the road. We also have a small VPS machine we use for small things, I would like to install a messaging server on that machine with users and passwords that I can connect Empathy chat clients to from our users computers. 80% of all our computers are Ubuntu so hence the reason to use empathy, it's default in 11 and integrated quite well.Something that would also be compatible with Pidgin for our few Windows Clients we have.

Ubuntu :: Messaging Menu In Notification Panel?

Sep 1, 2011

I have found some info on how to let apps put their icons in the notification panel. This involves using dconf-tools to whitelist some apps in the com.canonical.Unity.Panel gsetting. Firstly, I'm using ubuntu classic, not unity. I assume the above would still apply for my notification panel settings? Anyway, that is not my question. What I am wondering, The messaging icon in that panel, when you click it, you see things like "Setup Chat", "Setup Mail" etc. I don't plan on using empathy or evolution. In fact, I've uninstall them both and installed Pidgin instead. Is there a way to edit that messaging menu to either remove those 2 options at the top that are useless to me, or have them look at other IM/email clients instead of the ones they are expecting to invoke. E.g. "Setup Chat" is irrelevant, as I have already set it up. Since I don't have empathy installed anymore, clicking that option has no effect.

Ubuntu :: Changing Programs Used By Messaging Panel Notifier

Aug 10, 2010

I do not use Empathy or Evolution, the default programs used by the messaging panel notifier in GNOME. Rather, I use Skype and Thunderbird for all my needs. Is it possible to change the settings in the panel notifier to use these programs instead? Otherwise, the notifier is completely useless to me and I'd like to remove it individually without removing any of the other panel notifiers that I do use, which is what happens when I right click it and choose "Remove from panel."

Ubuntu :: Monitor Other IMAP Folders In Messaging Menu?

Oct 27, 2010

I've finally found out how to add Thunderbird to and remove Evolution from the Messaging Menu. the only problem is that the Thunderbird notifier will only monitor my inbox.I use procmail to filter messages server-side, and want to check for the presence of new messages in another folder. The only app I've found that can do this so far is mail-notification, which can be pointed to directories other than Inbox.if/how I can integrate this into the Messaging Menu interface? Or are there any other solutions?

Ubuntu :: Evolution Gone From Messaging Menu Indicator Applet?

Feb 7, 2011

It was there until I just now added skype to the messaging menu. I did this by typing "gksu gedit /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/skype" in terminal and adding /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop to the file. After i done that i checked the applet and evolution was gone. It now shows "chat" on top, then "broadcast", then skype. The evolution file is still there containing "/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop" I did notice there being two the same evolution icons in "/usr/share/applications" + the evolution mail and email settings icons.

This probably isn't of importance but the only other thing i ever changed earlier in the application applet was adding emesene. I deleted emesene and since i diddnt quite know how do delete text file made for it so I just removed the "/usr/share/applications/emesene.desktop" text from the file. Also when i had emesene installed and the icon in the indicator applet it showed on top is it possible for me to get the skype icon on top as well?

Ubuntu :: Removed Shutdown And Instant Messaging Status From Panel?

Dec 7, 2010

I booted up my laptop as usual and found that when I opened Empathy IM Client it would not allow me to login when I changed the status to Online (or equivalent). Normally as soon as I open the client the Messaging Status can be changed in the top right next to the clock so I tried to remove it but unfortunately it took the shut down panel with it.

To try and bring them back I used the restore panel commands in terminal:

Code:

$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
$ pkill gnome-panel

Unfortunately the panels all reloaded, but without any change.

1. How can I restore the shut down and messaging section to the top panel (as is in the default)?

2. How can I get instant messaging to work again?

PS. I'm a Ubuntu noob, only installed it about 2 days ago. Thus I may need some very basic instructions to anything complicated.

EDIT: I just found the panel section was called the Indicator Applet, but now it's in the wrong place...

CentOS 5 :: MRG Realtime, Messaging And Grid Packages From CERN

Apr 15, 2010

I have been using parts of the MRG (kernel-rt, qpid[dc]) package for some time; thanks to Johnny Hughes (hughesjr) for providing the initial binaries. Recently, I discovered that CERN builds MRG for their ScientificLinux distribution, which is a derivative of CentOS.

You can view the package list from their repoview or browse all the packages they support here. I have found these packages to be compatible w/ CentOS. Perhaps something can be done to leverage this work to make MRG available as part of CentOS?It's straight forward to setup a .repo file to pull MRG directly via yum, including updates.

Ubuntu :: Bash Broken, Lost Functionality In Terminal (gnome-terminal)?

Dec 10, 2010

Linux-goers. I did some research on this, but I am still fairly new to Linux. In Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), I accidentally overwrote my "/bin/bash" file. Dude, using "sudo" with a small typo can work disasters. Bash is now broken in the Terminal (gnome-terminal). Terminal itself still works fine, technically, but bash is still hosed/broken. Here is what I did to try to fix it: Booted from Ubuntu 10.10 live CD. Mounted my Ubuntu partition and manually copied the good/fresh "bash" file onto my hard drive. Verified copy was successful. Didn't help, as you see. Reinstalled "gnome-terminal" using synaptic package manager. Tried to reinstall bash via synaptic, it failed with error, "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.1-2ubuntu4_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2"

In Terminal, all basic commands work as far as I can tell. ("ls", "pwd", navigation, etc.) Here are some problems:My "username@computername" does not display in the prompt; only the $ sign. Bash keyboard shortcuts such as uparrow and tab do not work. Instead, each inserts a key code. I can't even move the cursor left/right. Aliases (a function of bash and .bashrc) are broken, of course. My sanity level decreases when I use Terminal now. For what it's worth, even with "sudo" I get a "permission denied" error when trying to run Google Chrome! I read something about a ".bashrc" file being a possible problem, but I don't know how to make it work, or the file's proper locations in Ubuntu 10.10. Is there something I can do with a "make" or "apt-get install" command or something?? Could this simply be a permissions problem? Is the link to "/bin/bash", "/bin/sh", or a ".bashrc" file broken? Guide me, oh Linux gurus.

P.S. I always wondered what exactly bash was and how it was different from the basic terminal. LoL, this is an excellent way to demonstrate the difference, and I WANT IT BACK!

Ubuntu :: Can't Turn On Terminal Bell In Gnome-terminal Using Remote Screen Session With Irssi

Nov 6, 2010

I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.

My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.

My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.

I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc

And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.

No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.

I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.
