twitter app in linpus

I've been looking for a twitter app to install on my AspireOne (Linpus).

Found a bunch but i cant seem to install them using yum. Any ideas?

 

First idea is to find out why you can't install them using Yum. What errors is it throwing?

 

they dont seem to be in the repository im using

 

I've just searched in add/remove software and found 'twitux' listed; have you tried that or is it not listed for you? If it's not, have you run the repository update (sudo yum install fedora-release)?

 

i had forgotten to update the repositories, i can now find twittux but it complains about not having the gnome keyring and doesnt login into twitter :S

 

Hmm. I think you can install gnome-keyring, but some past threads indicate there may be problems with the network manager if you do so. Are there any option in twittux which might avoid it using the keyring?

If there's nothing obvious, it might be worth contacting the developers, or filing a bug and seeing how they respond.

 

thx for all the help daldred, im going to check the projects homepage and read about it. for now ill just use the firefox plug-in
