Its making crazy everyone. I also tried to install yahoo messenger with voice and video but could not success. I got really tired. Now I don’t have any more hope to overcome this problem. Moreover, I have tried Pidgin, GYachE, wine …. non of them works for voice and video…!!!!

text chat is fine if you’re doing covert stuff at work, or in a meeting, or those who still think Gopher is a bleeding edge web browser;
however for computer users living in the 21st century, anything less than full support for audio + video chat is a sadistic joke.

using Windows software under WINE is painful to install with all the dependencies issues, and even then won’t properly address the required hardware to function.

it seems Pidgin is the de facto chat program in Linux but with no contemporary features and development has stalled.

where are all the slick Linux equivalents to Skype, Yahoo Messenger, GoogleTalk ??

Install WINE, then download TRILLIAN (I have v5) from http://www.trillian.im/ . Install TRILLIAN under Wine and use it. Audio is not works but works fine chats, transfer, MSN live. It has some bugs in preferences but… it work. I thing is the best yahoo chat protocol for Ubuntu. I’m using Ubuntu 10.10

click help in contact list/contents/start an audio conversation/Audio and video support one will find the answer for many of the above
audio with yahoo is clearly not supported by ubuntu.

I think the one available ymessenger.deb for is older one and new release is not available or stopped writing since UBUNTU is becoming famous for desktop and major people are using the latest ubuntu..So there is no point in doing the above steps since as some one already said that dependancy issue.

wait and watch for new deb release of ymessenger…

Guys!! Yahoo Messenger so far DO NOT WORK WITH UBUNTU LINUX. I’ve searched everywhere. Even the Wine application is crap, as it makes the programs run slowly. Your only hope is to try web version of yahoo messenger. Type web.im in you address bar. It work pretty good but no support for Voice and Webcam yet. Good for text messages only.
I wish the Linux Community take not of it and so something about it.
