[Kopete] MSN Problem.

Hi,

So...I'm quite new to Linux, and i have problems logging into MSN using Kopete, i have looked at the FAQ, but i don't understand it.

Quoted

I can't connect to MSN with Kopete 0.7.2. I thought this version was meant to fix the MSN upgrade messages, not break it entirely!
Running some kernel called 2.4.22something? Kopete normally sends the kernel version to the MSN server as a user agent, but the MSN server can't handle words in there. So put on your best grin and fake it - add the following to $KDEDIR/share/config/kopeterc, in the [MSN] section: UserAgent=0x0409 winnt 5.1 i386 MSNMSGR 5.0.0 MSMSGS . This way you look like a windows box and the server lets you connect.


How would i do that?

Thanks, Adrian

As you have to change a line in the configurion file, you can use kwriteconfig to achieve that. Therefor, open a konsole and execute the following command:

kwriteconfig --file kopeterc --group MSN --key UserAgent "0x0409 winnt 5.1 i386 MSNMSGR 5.0.0 MSMSGS"
