[Kopete] Cannot connect to MSN Messenger

Debian? I just got a similar bug report for my MSN messenger client from an Ubuntu user: http://kmess.sourceforge.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=986 I'm curious whether you see some warning messages too when you start Kopete in the console. We told me he could connect with all accounts except the hotmail.com ones. It also occurred in GAIM, which makes me believe it's actually a problem in openssl/libcrypto in Ubuntu (or Debian).

Kopete 0.12.0 under Gnome...

When you like the compile software, you need the kdelibs-devel package. This package will install a lot of dependencies, like arts-devel, qt-devel, and so on. These additional packages contain essential information about the installed software to compile new software. For most software, you can also see if your distribution provides binary packages. For Kopete 0.12 I don't think this will be the case, as it's just been released and distributions prefer to keep their software "stable" (at the ver...

tcp/ip client

Isn't that application comparable with 'telnet'? Start the 'konsole', type 'telnet <hostname> <port>'. When you want to close the connection, press Ctrl+].

Konqueror as file maanager only?

Quoted Originally posted by John Jason Jordan Something that doesn't make me go take a coffee break while it launches. And preferably something that cannot be used outside of the immediate computer or LAN, that is, a file manager that does not have delusions of being an internet browser.

Dragging a Box On Konqueror Or Desktop Lags

Please consider the following: Source code 1 2 3 4 Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" Option "RENDER" "Enable" EndSection This also improves the composite speed. Composite however, is an experimental new technology. The lag in dragging the windows is normal and likely caused by the window shadow settings you've enabled with composite. This is something that will eventually disappear when KDE gets full support for the new composite extension. For now, you use it to impress for frien...

All KDE's hidden tools

kprinter - use the KDE printer dialog in non-kde applications. It replaces the 'lpr' command in those applications.

Konqueror as file maanager only?

I think you're looking for the option: Control Center -> KDE Components -> Componente Chooser -> Web Browser. You can also open the properties of an existing html file, edit it's file association settings, and choose to open this file type with firefox instead.

RE: This may be off topic but... (compiler flags)

daihard, I think it's off-topic, but still like to give some answers: Quoted Originally posted by daihard Is this the right place to talk about optimizing KDE in terms of GCC compiler options? I'm not sure, but do you think it really improves the code a lot? It's still the same code... and gcc is still one of the most inefficient compilers.

KConfig: settings lost at kde logout?

I've managed to fix my problem, although the fix is quite weird. In saveProperties(config), the argument 'config' != kapp->config(). I'm not sure why, or what causes this. By using kapp->config() instead of the 'config' argument, I managed to save the settings at KDE logout.

KConfig: settings lost at kde logout?

Quoted Originally posted by anda_skoa Hmm, maybe the application is killed before it can finish, thus its destructors don't get called. However if your saveProperties is called, check that you call sync() on your KConfig instance. Cheers, _ I'm already doing that, and it does not seam to help.. :-(

KConfig: settings lost at kde logout?

I'm facing a weird problem with my application: * settings are perfectly saved if I quit the application manually. * settings are not saved if I logout from KDE directly Does anyone know why the settings are not saved at kde-logout? From the debugging output, I notice that the KMainWindow methods queryClose(), queryExit(), saveProperties() are executed. All settings are written during the saveProperties() method, this is also visible in my debug output. I did notice that the destructor didn't ru...

Receiving network file data without blocking the GUI

Thanks. I did get this working now. It appears my processing was slow because I had too much kdDebug() statements in the read-loop. After removing those, my problems disappeared.

Receiving network file data without blocking the GUI

Thanks. Will try that. edit: I found this in the Qt docs: Quoted Any operations that generate events must not be called by any thread other than the GUI thread. Examples of such operations are: using a QSocket or other network class.

Receiving network file data without blocking the GUI

Hi, I'm trying to re-implement the file-transfer feature in an MSN client. I receive a continuous data stream from the other contact. How can I read all the data without blocking GUI events? The other contact is transmitting faster then I can process the data. I'm using a KExtendedSocket to stay compatible to KDE 3.1 environments. All data is received during the readyRead() signal of the socket. So far I've tried: * using a while(socket->bytesAvailable() > 0) to read all data from the buffer. Th...

kdDebug confirmation question

No, kdDebug() will work anyway. It's just printing your message to the standard-error output channel. Use it instead of "cerr" in your KDE applications ;-) Using --enable-debug with ./configure is a completely different story. Likely it will include a lot of debugging-information in the compiled binary (done with the -g switch of g++/gcc). This makes binary files huge and slow, but you can print a complete stack dump, and a crash dump returns the exact line numbers of the source code, etc..
