Description Joe Innes 2006-11-16 11:29:14 UTC
Version:           0.12.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Trying to connect to the MSN network, I get a similar outcome as bug 68204, ie: the icon for the connection flaps its wings a few times, then turns grey. However, this is not a duplicate, for two reasons, number one, the previous bug is classed as resolved, number two, I get this on running from Konsole:

kopete (msn): WARNING: [QString MSNNotifySocket::statusToString(const Kopete::OnlineStatus&) const] Unknown status 10!

This problem has prevented me from connecting despite numerous restarts of the client. I had similar problems before, which I could get around by setting my sign-in status to "Away" or "Busy", but these seemed to have stopped working.

Its seemed to perk up a bit, but still requires the signing in as away every now and then. Just to confirm, I'm not running a proxy, or running through a proxy.

Well, my MSN connection problem described in Bug 137445 started in March 2006, but I had that problem only with the socks proxy. Without a proxy it worked well. The problem continuously exists since March, I was just too lazy to file a bug.

Now it seems that I am having this problem even when not behind a proxy, but I am not sure whether my problem is the same as this bug as as I _can_ connect sometimes.

Does this problem always prevent you connecting?

I'm having pretty much the same problems.
Sometimes I cant connect to MSN at all, other times. And it allways disconnect here and then,
VERY annoying.

I'm using kopete 3.5.5-r2 on gentoo, compiled with gcc-4.1.1.

Same problem here. Can connect but get disconnected after few seconds.

I am using Kopete 0.12.5 with KDE 3.5.7 on Gentoo

I get error messages on the konsole:

kopete (msn): WARNING: [void MSNSocket::slotSocketError(int)] Error: 17 (remote host closed connection)
Very strange! got a DCOPReply opcode, but we were not waiting for a reply!

Sometimes the MSN servers are flaky.  This was probably one of those times.  Reopen if you have a persistent problem connecting to MSN with 0.12.6.
Comment 12 Pablo Cholaky 2007-12-31 16:05:27 UTC
I have problems with 0.12.7...

My output:

Very strange! got a DCOPReply opcode, but we were not waiting for a reply

And a LOT of QGArray::at: Absolute index -n out of range.

0<n>more of 1000 :S

Im only in wireless, is strange.
