Here is what I did (2 minutes typing, 2 hours working out) apt-get install jabber apt-get install jabber-muc edit the /etc/jabber/jabber.xml file as per instructions in /usr/share/docs/jabber-muc/README.Debian (two bits of xml to cut 'n' paste) *note* if you have changed your domain (server name) from localhost to something else then you will need to do intelligent cut 'n' paste ;-) goto /etc/default and edit jabber-muc set ENABLED='1' /etc/init.d/jabberd restart ps -ef | grep jabberd should show something like jabberd -h localhost jabberd -h localhost jabberd -c /etc/jabber/jabber-muc.xml The third one indicates that basic muc (multi user conference) should then be enabled Tested in kopete.... talking to myself ;-) Hope this helps Tom. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjddAcACgkQBX2gJWUv0ivn9gCdHIA9X7UGZhmQffecfgT8/4L0 F0UAniLtzrmO1LebMFWMhBOjF97rce9M =XGP3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
