I can log into the sametime server. I see my contacts and their status. I am unable to open a chat with someone. Likewise if they attempt to chat with me I get no chat window popping up. Running Ubuntu 8.04 on i386. Perhaps a permissions issue?
Subject: Can you check something…
Can you go into preferences and see the Sametime \ Emoticons palletes ?
Reason is it may be a xulrunner issue I encountered when trying to get 8.0.1 on x64. Maybe not.
Subject: Workaround for Beta
These components rely on the embedded browser which requires an earlier version of Xulrunner.
If you install this version you should be able to use the internal browser and Sametime:

You may also need to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=installed location.
Subject: XULRUNNER does not help
Hi Simon, I did the xulrunner install, but still no chat possible.
So how should I set the MOZILLA_FIVE path in Ubuntu?
TIA
Alexander
Subject: Same here - chat window does not open on Ubuntu 8.04

tested on 6 workstation here, all on Ubuntu 8.04.
Subject: no chat window
As 64-bit was a necessity for me, I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work in 8.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit.
I ended up using the 1.8 XULRunner 32-bit and creating a script to launch Notes, which set the “MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME” first.
I must say that I have not had to do this in 8.5B1, but maybe that is because I am using 32-bit Firefox as the default browser.
Subject: no chat - xulrunner not working
Just tested it myself, and my 64-bit workaround does not work anymore.
Installed 8.04.1 32-bit in a VM, ran update, only installed “ttf-xfree86-nonfree” (Luxi fonts) and Notes. That’s it.
Got the error “The currently displayed page contains invalid values” when looking at the Emoticon Palette through Preferences, which it what I used to get in 64-bit. The XULRunner workaround did work in the past.
It can’t display the Palette which is why the chat window won’t open.
