Hi all,

I have a quick and dirty fix available for those using the Kopete MSN plugin and are not comfortable with using SVN in order to get it working again.

Grab it from my webspace and see how you get on with it...

Hope this helps!

Thanks. Works is fine. )

Hi, I'm running kopete 0.10 on slackware-current and kde 3.4 and the
msn plugin keeps on disappearing, even if I redo the symlink correcty. =/
Maybe the patch doesn't work for kopete 0.10, could you make available
the source code of it?

Hi
I have tried to install the fixed files, but altough I have followed up the installation isntruction Kopete has no MSN plug in any more.
Only if I installed the back up files again but the password failure is not fixed.

Please I am user of SuSe9.1 and KDE3.3
Can you please help further on?

THX

Thx a lot craigiebabe ,

It's good for me !

Kde 3.3 - Kopete 0.9.2 on Gentoo
=>lookin' /usr/kde/3.3/lib for the files

Bye !

I'm using Kopete 0.9.2, Suse 9.1 Pro and KDE 3.2.1
When I apply the patch the MSN plugin dissapears (same as Juan_Lutz).
If i try to add my msn account again, i get a "msn protocol not found" message.

Any ideas ?

TIA,

ckozus.

It was a permissions issue, the user wich was running kopete has no access to those files (/opt/kde3/lib/libkopete_msn*)

Thanks for your help!!!

ckozus.

I don't understand ... yesterday , msn network was working with craigiebabe's patch but this morning i can't login !!!

Are u the same problem ?

I'm so Stupid !!! i forgot to rebuild symbolic links !!!!!!


It's Ok now !!!

Thx for this patch

im on 0.10 on gentoo i copied accross files and remade links but i get:

bash-2.05b$ kopete
bash-2.05b$ QGDict::hashKeyString: Invalid null key
QGDict::hashKeyString: Invalid null key
libkopete: WARNING: [Kopete:lugin* Kopete:luginManager::loadPluginInternal(const QString&)] Unable to find a plugin named ''!
libkopete: WARNING: [Kopete:lugin* Kopete:luginManager::loadPluginInternal(const QString&)] Unable to find a plugin named ''!

amsn will do 4 now suppose :-(

has u seen :

Edit: This patch will ONLY work for 0.9 revisions of Kopete. Users using older versions of Kopete ( ie 0.7 and 0.8 ) should find a 0.9 rpm and install that before applying the patch.

i see there was mention of 3.4.1 which fixes apparantly?
amsn works fine for now i suppose!
i just like full kde apps for intergration

oh and we have the rpm facility on gentoo but we tend not to use this
we emerge..... power......

Thank you !
I have followed up the instructions correspodingly and now Kopete (V. 0.92) is working with MSN once again.

Great job craiglebabe.
Best regards

Hi,

It seems some people have been able to get the patch working, but I've not had any luck so far.

My setup:
SuSE 9.0 pro
KDE 3.3.1 (this is newer than the version of KDE that ships with SuSE 9.0, installed via rpm)
Kopete version 0.9.2

Since there are no RPM's that I could find for kopete 0.9.2 on SuSE 9.0, I downloaded the source tarball for kopete 0.9.2, compiled and installed it. Other than the msn protocol, this works fine. When I try to install the new libraries, the msn protocal disappears from kopete. The method I used:

1. compiled/installed kopete 0.9.2
2. copied over the libkopete_msn* files into /opt/kde3/lib
3. rebuilt symbolic links to these two files
4. ran ldconfig (no errors)
5. verified permissions on these files
6. loaded kopete (msn plugin missing)

There was also a post earlier in this thread that included a link to a patch file. I downloaded this, and applied the patch. The build failed with:

.libs/msnnotifysocket.o(.text+0x1bde): In function `MSNNotifySocket::parseCommand(QString const&, unsigned, QString const&)':

make: *** [all] Error 2

There was also a link in another thread for downloading just the patched files from svn directly into a default 0.9.2 source tree. I tried this too (with a fresh source tree), and got the same error.

There was a mention of the error listed above in another thread and a reference that the problem was in the Makefile.in file, something not handled by the patch. There was a link to a patch file for a newer release of kopete, so I downloaded this, and did a manual diff between the Makefile.in file and the patches for this file. It looked like the major changes were to simply include the class sslLoginHandler in the compile/link, so I modified the Makefile.in file by hand to include these references.

At this point, the compile worked, but when I load kopete, I get a socker error number 111 from the msn plugin and kopete crashes.

Could anyone who was able to get kopete 0.9.2 working from compiled (patched) source post their Makefile.in file? (not sure if this will actually fix anything, but it is a place to start.)

Any other ideas? (I don't consider upgrading SuSE or KDE viable options -- this breaks too many other things. Why should I have to completely rebuild my machine just to get msn working?)

Thanks!

I use Mandrake 10.0 and KDE 3.2. It seems that the system cannot read the binary *.so.0.0.0 file. Could that be? I've got both new files executable but when I start kopete, MSN plugin could not be activated. Can some one please help?? Thanks a lot!

Hi spam_...
I don't know if I can really help you with your case. But let me try:

1.- I am using SuSE9.1 with KDE33. You are able to find the KDE3.3.2 stable rpm files from:
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/Su…MS.kde3-stable/
I am sure you can find this link also the corresponding ones for Suse 9.0 too.
I have picked up the corresponding kdenetwork file for Kopete 0.9. 2. (Kdenetwork-Instantmessenger-3.3.2-7.i586.rpm, the version 3.2.3-3 is also available.) Try to install an rpm package for suse 9.0 (?)

2.-I have uninstalled the kdenetwork one in my system with Yast and installed the downloaded kdenetwork named above.

3.-I have dwonloaded the files with the fix libkopete_msn* files from
http://www.thejoneseys.plus.com/kopetemsnpasswordfix.tar.bz2

4.- I have followed up the instructions as in the redame files is. Additionally I have restored the rights to all the libkopete files I mean:
the copied ones : libkopete_msn_shared.la and libkopete_msn_shared.so.0.0.0
and the two links ones.

5.- I have started kopete and after confirm the password for MSN all is running OK.

Try it again, Good Luck,
Best regards,
Juan_lutz
