Description Xavier Douville 2008-08-06 20:52:19 UTC
Version:           0.12.7 (using 3.5.9, Debian Package 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-4 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu

Hi

I just got a pop-up message from kopete saying to fill a bug report. I got MSN error code 712. The message also said to include the console output if possible but I don't have it unfortunately.

What I did :
Kopete was disconnected from the MSN network (I don't know why). I tried to connect by directly switching my status to "occupied". Kopete connected successfully but I got a popup telling me to fill a bug report. Everything seems to work.

I got this popup a couple minutes ago. I was connected to MSN since a long time and then Xavier connected to MSN. A few seconds later I got the popup, so I suspected that may have been due to Xavier trying to send me a message via MSN. I asked him via Jabber whether he tried to send me a message via MSN, and he replied that "I didn't, but would you have hit a 712 error?". I said yes and he pointed me to his report. This is at least the second time I get this error this week. I'm also using Kopete 0.12.7 from Debian package kopete 4:3.5.9-4. I'll try getting console output.

I can confirm this in kde 4.1.2 and it is VERY VERY VERY annoying! I'll try to see if I can fix it....

How does one fix this?
I confirm it's also present in my system: 

Kopete 0.60.2 on Kubuntu 8.10 (KDE 4.1.2)
Should I replace this file and then compile? Compile what exactly?
Also I guess the kubuntu team should be notified so that a fix goes into the repositories.

I know of another user that has stopped using kopete because of this.

Compile the latest kopete from svn or wait for KDE 4.1.4. Unfortunately, I fixed this a few hours after the 4.1.3 tagging, so 4.1.3 does not include the fix.

I know that...

You should get the latest kdenetwork module from svn at /branches/KDE/4.1/kdenetwork and compile kopete from there.

You can tell that to the kubuntu team.

Just an idea - it seems like this kind of thing  happens in MSN every couple of months. It would be nice if the error codes to ignore were configurable in kopeterc (with shipping default values) so that when new error codes occur the code doesn't need to be patched, and people can easily fix existing versions? Just a thought.
Comment 8 George Kiagiadakis 2008-11-27 14:09:27 UTC
This msn code is already dead. Since kde 4.2 beta1 the msn plugin has been replaced with the wlm (windows live messenger) plugin, which handles such errors in an external library called libmsn, which doesn't show any intrusive messageboxes when error codes arrive :) So, there is no reason to do that.

The fix to msnnotifysocket.cpp doesn't work for me (Kubuntu KDE 4.1.2).

Instead, patching msnsocket.cpp seems to do the trick.
