Woot, my first howto!

Step 1: Enable red pill mode

Open application manager -> Application Catalog -> New -> matrix in website field -> Cancel -> Red pill (Same thing for blue pill)

Step 2: Download and install the pidgin facebook chat plugin (200KB)

http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecod...kchat-1.37.deb

Step 3: Re-enable Blue pill mode

Enjoy!

Bonus points to anyone that manages to get this to work with RTCOMM.

Yeah, I know, I know... RTCOMM's using an older version of libpurple... but a guy can dream, can't he?

I hate to shoot anybody down on their first how-to, but please avoid recommending Red Pill at all costs. It's the cause of a lot of trouble, because most people forget to turn it off.

Yes, plug-in is in Extras, no red pill needed

Ah, I didn't know it was in extras.

But yeah, for that specific deb you needed red pill mode because otherwise it would say that it doesn't work on the platform, even though it does because its just a pidgin plugin.

But yeah, if its in the repo, don't worry about my howto unless for some reason the repo is broken for you

Has anyone been receiving an error lately when using Pidgin to speak with people on Facebook? Now every time I talk with someone, they get my message three times.
