amsn in linpus lite

How I install the amsn on linpus linux? I want to install because the messenger version of linpus lite dont let me use the camera for video chat. The camera on the messenger stops work after a live update. If anyone can help me :!: :!: :!:

 

I do not believe that any linux msn client except Acer Messenger is able to use the camera in chats...

 

Enter the following in a terminal:

Code:

sudo yum install amsn

And confirm. This installs amsn. I don't know how to use it though.

 

I now have amsn installed but it is the old version and does not connect, how do I update to the new version 0.97?

I have tried downloading from website but I keep getting error code:

The autopackage support code could not be installed.

It can be manually downloaded and installed by running the installation script located in the downloaded archive.I am extremely new to Linux and finding it hard

Thanks

 

Well I just answered my own question:

I went to My downloads, then to Terminal
and then typed:

bash amsn-0.97.2-1.tcl84.x86.package

and I now have the new version.

I like getting the hang of this

 

hang on what did you do?

 

i think i got it now

 

I somehow installed it with commands i found in here .
But i can't understand how to open it , cause it Linux won't create icon automatically.

 

I can't be much help because I installed aMSN a long time ago with random commands in terminal (I'm also a linux noob). But I CAN confirm that aMSN works with both camera and microphone (it prompted me to download SNACK or something..)

 

Yeah I installed .
But i don't know how to open it .
I hope that someone will helpp , cause i'm tired of that AAO default messenger !

 

If you right click on the desktop and look under multimedia, aMSN should be there. You can also add an icon manually. viewtopic.php?f=67&t=9078&hilit=create+icon

 

I've just installed amsn but i'm having problems installing new themes. I've downloaded a theme and it says i should drag the folder to usr/share/amsn/skins/ but somehow linux won't let me! the folder seems locked. I can move the folder on to other folders but not the one it should be in. Can anyone help me?

 

you need root access to do that...


sudo mv location location

or su

then mv location location


(öppna terminal, skriv su, skriv in rootlösenordet, skriv mv (kort för move) så skriver du först vart mappen ligger, sen mellanslag, sen vart du vill att mappen ska hamna, sen exit, så blir du din vanliga användare igen... sen exit igen för att stänga consolen)
