Post subject:  Ubuntu Netbook - KildClient
So I've been running Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and just recently got a netbook. I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 and installed KildClient. It works fine on my desktop, however, the program doesn't actually load. It acts like it's going to load then immediately closes. Any Linux gurus or KildClient users out there have any suggestions? Or, if there's another client available for Linux, I would take a look into that too. Also, I tried using the online flash client, but it doesn't load. I have the most recent version of Flash and I'm using Chrome for a browser. Does it only work in IE and Firefox? Thanks in advance for any help.

Run it in a console and see what prints to stderr.

I use tin-tin++, it's in apt. It runs in the console and is quite nice.

If you aren't against running wine, MushCLient runs flawlessly under Ubuntu and is a great client. I use wine because my goal sometimes is just to make things as easy as possible on myself, while I would rather avoid any Windows programs on principle the rest of the time.

I had success with Kmuddy for awhile. It doesn't seem to be in development though. I didn't much care for TinTin++.

Tintin++ has nothing on the eyecandy of mushclient, for sure. Where tt++ really shines is that it flawlessly integrates with screen and other spiffy linux tricks. Plus it is amazingly low overhead and most of the scripting gets the job done. Whatever it can't do, you can just send to bash. That's how I had my spiffy colored dialog script on Nytomi:

#ALIAS {say} {#system {./nytomi.say say "%0"};#delay {1} {#textin tempsend;#system {rm tempsend}}}


Code:
#!/bin/bash
original=$*
content=$original
case ${original%% *} in
say)
   content=${original#* };
   msg="say ";
   pal=("\$1\$I" "\$2\$I" "\$3\$I" "\$4\$I" "\$5\$I" "\$6\$I" "\$7\$I")
   ;;
*)
esac
cnt=${#content}
if [ $cnt -lt "175" ];
then
for (( curr=0; curr<cnt; curr++ ))
do
msg="$msg${pal[$(($RANDOM%${#pal[@]}))]}${content:$curr:1}"
done

echo $msg >> tempsend;
else echo LINE TOO LONG;
fi

Perfect. I really like MUSHclient and it's running spectacular. Thanks for the tips from both of you. Does running Wine open me up to potentially dangerous software or am I good since no harmful executables out there can attack my system information? Ubuntu seems pretty secure, so I'm not too worried since the only thing I'm going to use for emulation is MUSHclient.

Never run wine explorer.exe

Other than that, you should be fine.

Know any good Linux Books? I found a good one on PERL. Maybe Dulrik has some suggestions on good coding books too? Mostly in the Linux/PERL realm.

man/info are a lot more awesome than people give them credit for.

between gnu documentation and just searching forums, you should not find yourself lacking much by way of advice.
