Chat Room and Linux

DadOf8 · 07-03-2005, 10:18 AM

I can't get the chat room to come up in Linux. I have tried both Mozilla and Konqueror and it tells me that the applet is loading, but that's where it hangs. I'm able to use it in Mozilla from Windows, just not from Linux. I don't really think there should be any difference. I do have the Java JRE installed in Linux too. No biggie, I can probably find an IRC client that works with Linux. I just thought you might like to know this.

I'm assuming you are running as root or at least have sudo rights? I'll have to try it on Tuesday to see if I can offer any help, or at least our linux gurus.

Whoosh as the conversation screams over my head.

Hmm, yeah, I don't know much about IRC. I have tried running the chat from both my work and home machine (both Linux). I can get the applet to come up, but it complains about my ident setup and bans me. On my work machine I did have to properly setup the symlinks for java in the mozilla plugins directory. You may want to double check that. If you have questions about that setup you can read this link...

I'm using an IRC client in Linux called T-Rex (I believe). It works fine. I just can't get the Java applet to work, no biggie.
