[kopete] No more MSN :(

Beginner

Thursday, May 19th 2005, 4:48am

As of this afternoon, I can no longer connect to MSN. I can connect with Mercry (java based client) and read this on the gentoo forums:

Using the debug window of Kmess (which also cannot log in), it pops up something about requiring Javascript to log in.

Anyone on the kopete-devel list that knows what's going on?

________

I've gotta say, so far this has been my only issue with this version of kopete` , overall, it has worked great since .. umm.. well, the day 3.4 was released

Edit: This is what I get from kopete

kopete (msn): WARNING: [void MSNSocket::slotSocketError(int)] Error: 17

then it pops up the password incorrect.. after entering my pw, i get this in the console:

QGArray::find: Index 0 out of range

I can't really help you, but I do want to confirm the same problem here. Sounds like something changed on the msn servers.

Same problem here. I can't connect to MSN anymore, it keeps asking for the password. I can connect to HotMail with the same userid and password.

RE: [kopete] No more MSN :(

The MSN servers were upgraded today or yesterday. Kopete used an old authentification method and this no longer works. See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105929 for more information.

Isn't it annoying the way that they "upgrade" their servers and block out third party apps. In an ideal world, IM programs would work and they would interoperate. They merely frustrate their users as they stand.

In the meantime I'm compiling aMSN http://amsn.sourceforge.net/index.php as a workaround. I don't know if that will work or no. It certainly used to.

It appears aMSN is broken too.

Compile Kopete from svn and it will work.

Same problem : can't connect to MSN
I've tried to install the last version (0.10) but the files are not on the sourceforge servers.
The tarballs (.gz or .bzip2) are missing !

Aaargh. Now compiling svn for Mandriva (there is no rpm) so that I can try that...

Can anyone say whether there is any possibility of Kopete working with MSN in future under KDE 3.3.x? 'm on KDE3.4 at the moment, but KDE3.4 and Mandriva 2005LE have major compatability problems (duplicated and/or non-existent menus, refusal to maintain keyboard maps, all sorts of things) and I'm planning to revert to 3.3.x.

If not, it may well have to be GAIM.....

Did you try looking for it under "subversion"?

No - didn't know that was what svn stood for! Thanks.

Right, ctrl-C on the make, urpmi subversion, and we're away...

i'd compile from svn, but i'm retarded and can't get the thing to 'make' itself.

Source code

kopeteemoticons.moc:12:2: #error "The header file 'kopeteemoticons.h' doesn't include <QObject>."
In file included from kopeteemoticons.cpp:493:
kopeteemoticons.moc: At global scope:
kopeteemoticons.moc:40: error: `const QMetaObject
   Kopete::Emoticons::staticMetaObject' is not a static member of `class
   Kopete::Emoticons'
kopeteemoticons.moc:40: error: variable `const QMetaObject
   Kopete::Emoticons::staticMetaObject' has initializer but incomplete type

etc...

It looks like a header from Qt4. Maybe you should check out one of the previous revisions?

'qtconfig' says it's using Qt version 3.3.4, so when i saw that i was thinking i might have to upgrade...

Is there another way to check what version of qt i'm running? I installed 3.3.4 a while back, but if i recall corectly i installed KDE 3.4 after that. Does KDE install qt along with KDE?

sorry for all the questions, and thanks for the help!

Edit: Could my configure be pointing to the wrong directory for Qt?

The problem is not with your system, only with kopete's sources --- IMO it looks like you have checked out the Qt4 version, instead of Qt3 one.

I hope we'll have a tarball next days. I don't have svn installed and I cannot install half the world for just some chatting! ;-)

I've tried compiling the latest stable version of Kopete from the SVN repository, but I've run into a snag. I was wondering if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong:

Source code

$ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.4/kdenetwork/kopete
Checked out revision 416026.
$ cd kopete
$ autoconf configure.in.in

Any ideas as to how I'm messing this up? I'm using SuSE 9.1 with KDE 3.4.

Edit: Tried it with Autoconf from SuSE 9.2. Still no joy.
