Nothing appears in chat window

Hi,

Where I presume the conversation is meant to be displayed, nothing is there. Can't even copy + paste anything from it. 0.7.4 running on redhat 9.

Thanks

First: Did you install from rpm or from source?
Second: If you installed from source what prefix did you use?
Third: Is it only the chat window thats not showing text, or is everything blank?
Fourth: What version of kde are you running?

1) Source
2) I used
./configure --prefix=/usr
3) Just the chat window.. well, the 'frame' type thing above the inout box.
4) According to the 'About' of kopete, it's 3.1-10

Thanks

Well, the prefix is right, and If text is showing up properly in the buddy list window, which I assume it is since you are able to check the about tab, then Im not really sure what the problem is as far as not seeing any text in the message window. Is your text showing up at least and not the text of the person messaging you, or is it no text at all is showing up? What service are you using kopete to connect to that the text isnt showing up, and what font do you have it setup to use?

No text showing up in that frame at all, it is everywhere else.

I'm trying to use MSN, I also have AIM but none of my AIM contacts are online so I can't check that out.

I've tried Sans and several other fonts, to no avail.

I dont think I can help you then, I had a problem similar to this but that was running .8beta1. I cant think of any reason .7.4 would be doing this...Sorry.

Try checking the bug reports.

Could this have anything to do with my problem?

If you're using msn, then yes, this is a problem. The new msn authentication servers use ssl for login and transfer now. Apparently kopete needs krb5 to compile.
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/i…9.i386.rpm.html
This rpm is for redhat9 and should solve your dependency, but its a build for gnome, so it will only work if you have both KDE and gnome installed.
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/i…6.i386.rpm.html
This rpm may solve your dependency, but its built for fedora core 1, so it may not install on the older red hat 9.

Solution to no text problem with Kopete :D

I have just had the same problem myself on fedora core 1, and discovered (in my case anyway) that there is no problem at all with the way the program is compiled or installed.

If you go to the configuration page from the 'Configure Kopete' option on the Settings menu and simply select a style for the message window it should start working fine. It seems that when compiling from source no style is selected by default and the text appears invisible as a result.

Hope this helps.
