xchat for the eeepc
02/14/08
We use irc at work on one of our products and and wanted to check out the irc capabilities of the eeepc. I tried using the IRC functionality of pidgin but I didn't find it very fucntional so I decided to try to load xchat instead. After a little bit of web research I tried adding deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list. Note that you must use sudo to edit this file. After installing xchat from this repository I got an segmentation fault when I tried to connect so I uninstalled it and replaced
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free with
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free.
Then you have to run sudo apt-get install xchat and everything worked fine after the install. Now it's time to add it to the simple menu.
