Great, great, great...
by vux - Jun 25th 2006 11:50:38
Great program, this is.
Except the little part when i type scandinavian ä / ö / å
in msn, centericq adds one extra space between the cursor and the place
where cursor really is. It goes like this ( big C - letter means "the
blinking part which represents cursor", _ is space ):
abcdC
abcdä_C
abcdäö__C
abcdäöå___C
new line resets the cursors place. A little bug, but annoying. I'm using
centericq-utf8, codepage conversion settings: remote UTF-8, local UTF-8,
version 4.21.0-2ubuntu1.1, gnome/xcfe4, ubuntu.
though i really should give a look for the source, hmz...

Don't use this, if you want PGP!
by Daniel Link - Aug 12th 2005 06:27:43
Centericq's PGP implementation is buggy. It violates the Jabber standard. A
detailed bug report can be found on the net. I want to report this for a
long time, but the centericq mailing list doesn't send me a conformation
mail after subscription :( In other respects a great program, although
resizing/redrawing is buggy. Try with ratpoison/screen.

I was looking for a console msn client and came across this project. I am

Currently just using it for MSN and LJ. Thank you for a great piece of

swedish characters in contactlist and chatwindow
by vague - Jan 8th 2005 13:50:09
Hi,
first I have to agree with the previous posts that this is a fantastic
project, thank you! :)
now to my problem:
when typing a message on icq or msn, i can see the swedish chars, but in
the chat/sent window they appear
as spaces, the same with the contacts list... also, the recieving part can
see the correct chars
i dont have problems in any other consoleapps so i doubt it has anything
to do with my languagesettings...
i run centericq 4.9.12 with no codepage translations(ive tried several
combinations and nothing works, they even make matters worse), on a gentoo
installation with blackbox
merely a cosmetic problem since its only an annoyance to me, but still :)

Excellent
by Naveen Nathan - Jun 5th 2004 03:10:38
I'm an OSX user and I've messed with only one multi IM client
so far and it happened to be
What I dislike (and this is not centericq related really since it
can be fixed) - the default key bindings and the powerbook
keyboard. All the function keys seem to be in use, some of the
commands (alt-h) are binded to other things in terminal app,
and is plain annoying. I have only used this for 5 mins though,
so I will spend some time tomorrow cleaning up my
preferences.
It's very easy to get started with, and luckily can be advanced/
modified to suit my needs. Truly an excellent piece of work.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Works Wonderfully
by Moshe Zadka - Mar 28th 2003 02:28:38
I'm using centericq 4.9.2 straight from Debian unstable, and it works
amazingly. I'm using AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! and MSN without caring besides
CenterICQ color coding stuff for me. I can set my away/online status at
once for all of them. It works out of the box, easy to use and has yet to
crash on me. It can reconnect when there are problems, which used to be a
problem in older versions.

I just had to install the libsigc++-1.0 (one I got from rpmfind.net for my
RedHat i386 archi, the one for RedHat 7.2 works for 8.0 as well) and the
centericq rpm detected the above installed libsigc++. Kewl, this thing
looks good. Works fine now. I am able to connect to all the four messengers
(ICQ, MSN, yAHoO, AOL) through this. Kudos Konst'!

The problem wasn't that hard to fix and only existed for a few days on a
release that was soon updated. Admittedly it's not what you want to see
when first installing a program, but considering how good an application
centericq is then Konst is certainly forgiven :P
I would like a GUI to what is inarguably the best multi instant messaging
library around. But the code is so good that it is easy to add your own
interface to the existing code. Which I may very well start doing...
Try it now.

The passwords are transmitted almost in a raw text for all the supported
IM protocols, so it's easy to sniff them even if they're stored encrypted.
Also, if someone has access to the config file, he also can access an
encryption key and other stuff easily. So specially for those who don't
like the fact the passwords are stored in the config file, it's possible to
turn off "remembering" of passwords.

Segfault on fast input when not in message mode
by Andrew Davis - Aug 16th 2002 09:28:37
I'm still using 4.7.8 until my admin installs 4.8.0, but I didn't see any
mention of this bug in the changelog, so I figured I'd post it: when
CenterICQ is not in message mode, pasting a 25-character or longer string
into CenterICQ will cause a segmentation fault (any characters beyond the
25th will just appear on the prompt after CenterICQ segfaults).
I found this out by accident, of course; I can't think of any reason one
would want to paste a string into CenterICQ when not typing any kind of
message. Still, it'd be nice to see it fixed, so that CenterICQ doesn't
crash whenever I accidentally right-click in my SSH window. ;)

Thank you for the report. However, it's not about pasing and 25-symbols
length at all. Just a hint: try to remove the "r" symbols from a string you
paste, or move a cursor somewhere to a contact list item which is not a
group header. This bug is actually segfault on an attempt to rename a group
header. Though, if I'm wrong I'm waiting a gdb output on the core dump from
you.

MSN NickName Change?
by Mistercam - Aug 13th 2002 20:43:46
I've looked through the different menus in CenterICQ (4.8.0), and I can't
find a way to change my visible MSN nick name. My nick name is currently
set to what it was when I last used MSN Messenger with that other OS that

Linux.)
Any help would be much appreciated!

Probably the dumbest comment even on this board here. But when I run v4.7.8
and insert both my icq and msn accounts everything works fine.
Atleast it looks fine, I can send out messages, however how can I receive
messages? I see names on my contactlist move to the top turning yellow
probably meaning I received a message, but no message to be shown anywhere.

Small interface bug
by Andrew Davis - Jul 26th 2002 12:04:50
Wonderful program!
As the subject implies, though, I've encountered a small interface bug --
nothing high-priority, but still worth mentioning, I think. It has to do
with word-wrapping and text insertion when writing messages; if I write a
multi-line message, then go back to the middle of a line to insert more
text (if I forgot a few words, or what have you), the rest of the line to
the right of the insertion point will be correctly advanced for each
character typed. However, whenever the text is advanced far enough to
require a word to be wrapped to the next line, it isn't actually inserted
at the beginning of the next line -- it is placed on a completely new
line.
That's probably not very clear, so I'll try to make an example. Say I
type a line in a message such as:
one two three four
And then after the word "one" I insert more text, causing
"two three four" to need to be wrapped to the next line, it will
essentially progress as follows:
one (some new text) two three
four
one (more new text) two
three
four
one (still more new text)
two
three
four
If I have time, I'll take a look through the code and see if I can figure
out a way to fix that, but I probably won't be successful as my development
experience in C is quite limited. By intuition, though, I'd guess that the
problem could be fixed by removing each word to be wrapped from the text
and re-inserting it at the beginning of the next line (with any more wraps
thus being propagated forward to the end of the message). An easier way
would of course be just to change the position of the newline character,
but that might require more work to make sure that all subsequent lines are
properly wrapped.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling. At least until I'm vaguely familiar with how
your code is structured. ;)

Re: Small interface bug
by Andrew Davis - Jul 26th 2002 13:51:33
4.7.8 does indeed have the same problem; it's purely cosmetic -- i.e. it
doesn't affect the formatting of the sent message -- which makes sense
since the text is only being wrapped for display.

Anyone have a solution yet for this?

really really really great program
by James Pike - Feb 26th 2002 09:26:17
Congratulations on a really really really really good program. This is
without a doubt the best multi-protocol chat client I've used on linux or
anything.
Am about to rate it 10/10 you can be sure.
Well done.

Centericq 4.6.0 been running since ~10 days non-stop on my system.. Never
crashed once.
When I think of icq on Windows... (brrr)
Great program ;)

Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
by Mic22xcvb - Feb 17th 2002 21:02:03
My platform is FreeBSD 4.2 stable. Using centericq 4.0.0, message
recipients would not receive the messages being sent. After updating to
version 4.6.0, I get a segmentation fault, when entering the ICQ server
address, user name and password. The client will not even start. Does
someone know the solution? I would be much glad.

Funny MSN protocol behavior
by Fumes - Feb 15th 2002 06:21:26
I have a problem with other MSN users, one moment they are online, the next
they are gone - but when i call them on the analogue phone they say they
are still online.

Adding contacts gives a Core dump...
by jroefs - Dec 9th 2001 09:26:45
Very fine programm indeed :)
But, whenever I try to add contacts thru the menu (F4, Find/add contacts)
the prog crashes on me.
When someone messages me (thru ICQ at least) I _can_ add them and if I
make a subdir in ~/.centericq/ it also works.
Any clue?

Looks great but...
by Owen Lloyd - Sep 17th 2001 18:41:19
There are just too many compile time problems for me to perservere with
trying to get it working. Perhaps a requirements list? It looks for
several things that I haven't got - and my Linux box has compiled most
things in it's time, so it's unusual for things of this nature to be
missing, and I'm no stranger to fisting the Makefile, and installing 10
other things to get something to compile on my box. All I can think of is
that the author's dev system is radically different from my Slackware based
one - which has compiled eveything from Linux to Apache, MySQL, NetHack,
Squid, Sendmail, KDE, Xfree86 etc etc, and has recent Gnu make, gcc,
autoconf, m4 and so on.
No one else has reported any compile problems, so I assume it's just my
slightly old system (2.0.34 kernel, libc5) I plan to install a RedHat 7.1
system on my network soon as well - hopefully CenterICQ will compile on
that - as it looks to be the best text mode client around (hehe and all
this just to find a use for an old Toshiba 3200 which I just blessed with
an old ne2000 and the NCSA DOS telnet facility - its a 286 so it has to run
DOS - but only to fireup the telnet client :)

Hello. I am glad to get your feedback here, and of course, there can be
some compilation problems under such an old system. But if they're exist,
we can fix them easily. Just send me the output of your make and we'll work
it out.

Well I know it;s not up to date, but I would have thought a relatively
simple ncurses app would compile with out issue - as it quite happily
compiles the latest Apache, MySQL, mod-php, php4 etc - all of which are
sizeable projects.
I apologise for not getting back to you sooner - I just checked the
project page as I was reading your article about ickle. You domain appears
to be offlne right now, and I won't post huge chunks of output here - but
I'll leave you the last few lines. There are pages of basically cast
warnings an example of which is:-
centericq.cc: In method `void centericq::checkmail()':
centericq.cc:561: warning: passing `char *' to argument 1 of
`__builtin_constant
_p(int)' lacks a cast
And eventually we get:-
make[2]: *** [centericq.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/centericq-3.35.22/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/centericq-3.35.22'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
annicnova:/usr/src/centericq-3.35.22#
It compiles the contents of intl/ ok before this happens (the errors are
from the 'src' directory).
Thanks very much for reading that - you gotta love the open source
movement :) Strangely, Larry Ellison *still* hasn't got back to me as to
why his project - Oracle 9i won't install properly on my vanilla RH7.2
box.. :P

Registering new UIN never works

I've never been able to register a new UIN using this program. I always

Try using more compilcated passwords. Recently ICQ server doesn't allow to
use too simple ones, and doesn't report that. And we still dunno how it
judges if a password is simple or ok.

Certainly the most friendly console-client
by Tassilo v. Parseval - Jul 1st 2001 03:22:04
I think we really should acknowledge that centericq is a great piece of
software and a bright example for a truely ergonimic console program. As
for me, centericq has definitely replaced micq.
Yet, centericq has its weirdnesses (perhaps no longer in 3.34.15) from
time to time, like sending messages over and over again to certain people,
not updating the list of people online etc.
However, everyone should try this first before considering micq.

Very good for shell account systems
by Lunaryn - Nov 28th 2000 13:33:43
I use a shell account for almost everything I do, since I
move from computer to computer quite a bit in my current
situation. Were it not for this program I don't think I
would use ICQ at all. CenterICQ is a very useful program
which I can access from anywhere due to the text-based
interface. I do seem to have to play around with the
source a bit to compile it; the shell system in question is
using Slackware, I'm not sure what libc, and I always seem
to be missing a few typedefs and/or #defines for socket-
related code... Anyone else encounter this?
