Chat panel selection greyed out in Opera on ubuntu

I installed Opera in ubuntu lucid RC 10.04 specifically to use the chat panel for IRC discussions.

However, when I go to Appearance to turn on the Chat panel, I cannot select its box as it is greyed out. How do I get access to chat so I can use IRC in Opera?

BTW, the Opera on my Windows machine does not have this issue.

You may need to have some kind of e-mail or newsgroup account enabled for M2 to work. An annoying limitation, I admit.

With the menu bar, click on Tools > Mail and Chat accounts - with the "O" button it's in the top-level menu. Add the address of an IRC server, then you can use Chat.

Ah. Or an IRC "account". Well, that's good to know.
