3 |
|
4 MCabber won't connect. It says `jab_start: SSL negotiation failed: self signed certificate`. |
|
5 : Use `ssl_verify = 0` in the configuration file, or set the certificates |
|
6 options correctly. |
|
7 With mcabber >=0.10 the option name is `ssl_ignore_checks`. |
|
8 |
|
9 How do I connect to my Google Talk account? |
|
10 : With mcabber >=0.10, setting the `jid` variable should work. |
|
11 With mcabber 0.9, it should work with the following options: |
|
12 |
|
13 set username = your.email@gmail.com |
|
14 set server = talk.google.com |
|
15 set ssl = 1 |
|
16 set ssl_verify = 0 |
|
17 |
|
18 I want to bind a key, how do I know the code number? |
|
19 : If the key is available, the key code will be displayed in the log window when |
|
20 you hit that key. |
|
21 |
|
22 How do I create a group? |
|
23 : Use `/move`, if the target group doesn't exist it will be created. |
|
24 |
|
25 How can I set a transparent background? |
|
26 : Seti `color_background = default`. |
|
27 |
|
28 How do I use PGP encryption? |
|
29 : Please see the [[OpenPGP]] page. |
|
30 |
|
31 How do I use OTR encryption? |
|
32 : Someone wrote a small [HowTo][otr_howto]. |
|
33 |
|
34 How to retrieve mcabber source using Mercurial? |
|
35 : See [[Building_mcabber_from_Mercurial]]. |
|
36 |
|
37 How comes the cursor is not at the end of line (EOL) when I use the Up and Down arrows? |
|
38 : By default these keys are bound to `iline |
|
39 hist_beginning_search_bwd/hist_beginning_search_fwd`, which is very useful once |
|
40 you get used to it. Of course you can rebind the keys (259, 258) to |
|
41 `iline hist_prev/hist_next` if you don't like this behaviour... |
|
42 |
|
43 Can I get rid of this timeout after hitting Escape? |
|
44 : You can decrease the timeout value by setting the (Ncurses) environment |
|
45 variable `ESCDELAY` (for example `export ESCDELAY=25; mcabber`). With mcabber > |
|
46 0.9.5 there is an `escdelay` option. |
|
47 |
|
48 How can I prevent mcabber from scrolling when I receive a message? |
|
49 : See `/buffer scroll_lock` and `scroll_unlock`. You can bind a key to `buffer |
|
50 scroll_toggle` too. |
|
51 |
|
52 Can I use a transport with mcabber? |
|
53 : You cannot register with mcabber. However, once you're registered, you can log |
|
54 into and out of transports by sending presence to them (see `/status_to`). |
|
55 |
|
56 MCabber says `WARNING: Bad permissions`! What are "good" permissions for mcabber? |
|
57 : MCabber expects its directory to be 700 (`rwx------`) and your configuration |
|
58 file should be 600 (`rw-------`) to ensure that nobody else can read it. |
|
59 |
|
60 Fifo does not work in version >= 0.10.2! (also url regex) |
|
61 : In 0.10.2 fifo and url regex were put into a separate from mcabber modules. |
|
62 Module can be loaded with command `/module load fifo` (or `url_regex` |
|
63 respectively). This command can also be put into your `mcabberrc` to load them |
|
64 automatically at startup. Note, however, that you must set parameters for the |
|
65 module before loading it. |
|
66 |
|
67 I have a feature request! |
|
68 : Come and tell us in the mcabber MUC room. |
|
69 |
|
70 I want to make a donation... |
|
71 : Really? Get my email/jid from the sources and contact me! ;-) |
|
72 There's also a PayPal button on [MCabber's homepage][mcabber]. |
