Ooops, sorry, left a bit out. The trace above is what happens when I start Kopete, click the MSN icon and select 'Set Online'.

This is also in today's CVS, in case no-one noticed!  I've had another report personally that 0.7.x isn't working either.  Is MSN preparing the next round of protocol changes - do you remember one day in Aug we were locked out while they changed things?

same problem here, under KDE 3.1.4, using kopete 0.8 beta 1. Same debug output.

Nope.

I know because it works fine for me :P Haven't updated my CVS in about 3 days 
though.

Also I don't use a hotmail.com or a passport.com email, if that makes a 
difference.

That's not the differentiating factor - my passport uses a different email 
address as well.

MSN is currently not going online for me either.
Using gentoo kde 3.1.4 and kopete 0.7.3.

Subject: kdenetwork/kopete/protocols/msn

CVS commit by ogoffart: 

This commit fixes the conneciton in MSN.

The MSN Server just changed a bit. It now does not accept anymore an old command I used.
This is now fixed.
Anyway, Should we backport this to the 0_7_branch  and release Kopete 0.7.4 (or 0.7.3a) ?

CCMAIL: kopete-devel@kde.org
CCMAIL: 68204-done@bugs.kde.org

Note: It's still possible to connect with the old version if you force kopete to download the contactlist from server:
i.e: moving a MSN contact in another group (when you are offline)  
Or editing the kopeterc file and reset the sirial to 0

A backport would be nice, as I understood the 0.8 series only works with KDE 3.2 and I'm still on 3.1.4 ;)

Thanks a lot!

Actually, you are mistaken - it works with 3.1.4 if you follow the 
instructions on kopete.kde.org.  The problems reported are due to the 
inclusion of the docs with the first beta, which are 3.2 specific.

I was having the same problem this morning - running FreeBSD 5.1, KDE 3.1.4 and Kopete 7.3.  I tried moving a contact among groups, and connected immediately, so the idea that you have to force the contact list to be downloaded is definately correct.

"it works with 3.1.4 if you follow the

where are the instructions on kopete.kde.org? I cant find them, and when i try to make .8 beta it just gives loads of xml errors

wrt #10 read the Installation Instructions about building from cvs,
forget beta 1, 
loads of things have been fixed since then, 
and if you check out CVS, 
you don't get the docs, 
which are the source of all the XML errors.

thank you, compiled from CVS no problem

Got the problem with both 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 on SuSE Linux 9.0, compiled the sources
without errors but it did not help. I have proposed Kopete for the Skolelinux distro, but do regret it because of this bug.
I am not too sure about the explanation of the bug, I start Kopete automatically when using KDE and sometimes it connects. Last connection was this morning.
