[gentoo-user] Kopete on Gentoo / Fluxbox (SLIGHT OT)

[gentoo-user] Kopete on Gentoo / Fluxbox (SLIGHT OT)

[Timothy A. Holmes]

Hi folks:

I would very much like to switch to kopete on my gentoo / fluxbox
laptop,  it seems to compile correctly, but there are a couple of
problems, Im not sure if they are specific to the gentoo version of it
or across the board.

1. In the IRC module, I need to be able to set independent sounds for
different chans, the settings are there under advanced notifications,
but when I set them, if a message arrives in the designated chan, the
sound does not play.

2. I cannot seem to turn off Join / part messages in the IRC Module

If anyone can help me I'd be very appreciative

Feel free to contact me off list or as W8TAH in #gentoo

Thanks

TIM

Some may disagree, but personally I'd much rather use a dedicated IRC
client for IRC. I tend to use irssi although XChat is perhaps
"friendlier". The latter would make it easy to see at a glance which
channel(s) there was activity in.

I am currently using Xchat, which I like, but has a few annoyances to it
as well, the biggest thing about kopete is having an all in one (and the
IRC module in gaim is TERRIBLE!!!) as well as some easier to use
interfaes and stuff

Are there any specific niggles/annoyances? I'm not trying to crusade for
XChat users (being mainly an irssi man myself) just seeing if I can help
at all, as I can't help much with Kopete issues (I use it for AIM and
MSN only).

e.g. One thing that annoyed me about XChat was the throttling it did
when I tryed to /exec -o cowsay ;). /set net_throttle 0 worked perfectly
:>

Cheers

David:

My biggest complaint with xchat is that the notify system is very clunky
and difficult to use and is very very prone to false positives, as well,
it does not (that I have found) have a facility for keeping a list of
chans that you frequent etc (other than the autojoin on start function).

KVIRC works well for me but its quite unstable in some aspects, and the
notification (sounds etc) system for it is a bit hard to use as its
designed more for scripters etc.  

Konversation is nice, but has problems with some IRC daemons, and im not
into the command line based stuff at all
