I already have a [email protected] account and using it daily. I added the conference.riseup.net (as shown in the screenshot http://dachary.org/loic/a.png) and when I try to connect (as shown in the screenshot http://dachary.org/loic/b.png) it says "Host Unknown" (but I also got Unable to connect). The hostname resolves ok on my laptop. $ getent hosts conference.riseup.net 198.252.153.234 xmpp.riseup.net conference.riseup.net It feels like I'm doing something *completely* wrong :-) Cheers -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre
