Howto: Gyachi - Yahoo! messenger, Webcam, room voice chat, photo sharing

Looks like there is an issue logging into gyachi using a rocket mail account. I have a yahoo and rocketmail account same password.. try rocketmail with and without @rocketmail and it doenst work change user to the yahoo account works peachy... retyped password when at rocketmail name and still no love...

yesterday i had issues logging in, but it seemed to have resolved itself, if it's persistent,

try removing gyachrc in /.yahoorc/gyach/ directory.

Done what you said and still no luck :( not to worry i'll just have to use another client for now.

Did the same .... Im going to roll back client to the last version... didnt start happening to version 1.2.3

I tried that as well but its still playing up :p

Hello loell,

It's been a long time since I posted here. I helped swat a bug a while back and you wrote a script for me that allowed video capture.

Anyway, I have a friend that wants me to grab a good quality web cam for his Jaunty install that works well with Gyachi. Any suggestions?

Now, I've just installed Gyachi from your PPA and having strange issues. logon / logoff logon / logoff and it goes on endlessly..
Can you help?

yeah there's a gyachi-wide problem atm, where gyachi couldn't find the yahoo crumb or something like that, still waiting for the developer's response.

there is now a fix, it's v 1.2.4

if you're in karmic, use this PPA repo

https://launchpad.net/~baudm/+archive/ppa/+packages

or just sudo add-apt-repository ppa:baudm

Okay I did and it seems to have fixed the problem. I have another problem however. It won't show an image from my Phillips 900N cam anymore. It seems to default to VL1 and I think I need VL2 but it won't let me change it. It locks up and I have to force quit it. I don't have this problem on my HP laptop webcam.

Suggestion?

I haven't update my gyachi version for a looooooooong time since I had made some tweaks in the code for my convinience.

But I've noticed in this version that the buddy images don't show up on the right side of the PM window like they did previously. Am I the only one with this problem?
