ipmessenger not working in ubuntu 14.04

Question

---

I am working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I have tried installing IP messenger on this and it showing error message like this,

FileName:ipmsg.c
Function:create_lock_file
Line:157
Can not setup lock file:/tmp/g2ipmsg.lock errno : -11 (Resource temporarily unavailable)

I tried various methods to resolve this.

• /tmp is writable
• g2ipmsg.lock file exists
• issued permission 777 to g2ipmsg.lock
• At start there is two process running with name ipmsg in system monitor, so i removed all ipmsg processes and restarted the application again, no success
• Created file g2ipmsg.lock manually and set permission 777

none of this helped.

Any help will be appreciated

you can use iptux which is the best alternative of IpMsg.

you can install with sudo apt-get install iptux command
