Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
The installation is finished. You can start the Yahoo!Messenger by typing in the terminal:
wine /path/to/Yahoo!/Messenger/YahooMessenger.exe
(You will have to replcace /path/to/ by the correct path.)
There are some errors in the GUI:
e.g. see bug no. #21579
and others. Until now YIM - Yahoo!Messenger isn't really working on wine.
If you want to come closer to some problems you will need to use winetricks:
winetricks riched20
will help to prevent the bug no. #21579 but than you will run into the next bug(s): you can send a message but not receive one. So this is only for experimental use.
