Well, to make things clear: timestamp is not part of the XBoard project, but propriatry closed-source software developed by ICC. The idea behind it is that it encrypts the communication between client and server in a secret way that cannot be reproduced by a non-trusted party in order to tamper with the time stamps. I am not aware of the encryption algorithm having been broken. (As it is for 'timeseal' used by FICS.) If ICC supplies a version that doesn't work under all Linux systems, one must turn to ICC for having it fixed. Some of what you report seems strange, though. Timestamp should be a simple command-line application, and has no business using GTK. It is not clear which executable acually was responsible for the canberra-gtk-moule error message, but I don't think XBoard would need that, as I never heard of it. In principle timestamp is a telnet-like application, which you should be able to run from the command line (through he command "./timestamp chessclub.com 5000" ?). After which you should be able to communicate with ICC through it, typing commands and getting the ICS responses displayed in your terminal. If you try that, does it also give this error message?

(above timestamp was the 2.0.30 version (renamed to simply timestamp).. later I tried 2.6.8 with more interesting but still failing results.. fail to connect) I can connect to ICC with my xboard it runs better than web interfaces but I can’t figure out how to use timestamp. I am not sure which version from this webpage is the correct one: https://download.chessclub.com.s3.amazonaws.com/timestamp/index.html (https://www.chessclub.com/?URL=https%3A%2F%2Fdownload.chessclub.com.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ftimestamp%2Findex.html) I believe the file I used is the first one right now linux 2.0.30 (I renamed it to simply timestamp) but I have also tried linux 2.6.8 well I tried this advice: http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?t=27107&start=10 (https://www.chessclub.com/?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkchess.com%2Fforum3%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D27107%26start%3D10) when I tried installing ia32-libs it said lib32z1 was a replacement so I installed that and now this is what is happening: kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ ls example lantern timestamp timestamp_linux_2.6.8 kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ rm timestamp kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ mv timestamp_linux_2.6.8 timestamp kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ xboard -ics -icshost chessclub.com (http://chessclub.com) -icshelper timestamp Gtk-Message: 15:50:12.750: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module” kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ sudo apt install canberra-gtk-module Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done E: Unable to locate package canberra-gtk-module kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ kayve@kayve-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-CMT:~/chess$ ./timestamp 207.99.83.228 5000 timestamp: Connection timed out timestamp: can’t connect to server Can someone help me make my xboard work with timestamp?
