using usb to serial adapter
null serial cable
running windows 8.1 main system
running vm player with linux ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386

I did dmesg to get where the serial location and it's /dev/ttyUSB0
using xx-client_v2.5.57.273-linux-x86-atheros-broadcom
the linux-x86, set up the ini file with serial_port=/dev/ttyUSB0
it's connecting to iks server
linux-x86 in running under root

but Unable to open USB0..

root@ubuntu:/home/iphone# '/home/iphone/a/xx-client-x86'

XX-Client Alpha v2.5.57.273

Fonzy35, I had to unbox what you were trying to highlight as your trouble spot as your post kept self moderating. In order to get your post to show as the trouble spot I put it in red. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I always found using a USB to Serial adapter to be a pain in the butt and never wanted to be recognized in linux BUT a port replicator always worked.

fonzy35,

I know this post is old but stumbled on it looking for other information.

Why not just run the Windows xx-client right off windows 8.1? It's on this site.
