Ipmessenger not working in ubuntu 14.04

Question

I am working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I tried to set IP messenger to this and it shows an 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 solve this problem.

/ tmp is writable
G2ipmsg.lock file exists
permission is issued 777 on g2ipmsg.lock
At startup, there are two processes named ipmsg running in the system monitor, so I deleted all ipmsg processes and restarted the app again, didn't have time
Created the g2ipmsg.lock file manually and set the resolution to 777

none of this helped.

Any help would be appreciated

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

you can install with sudo apt-get install iptux command
