Deleted the MSN configuration, and readded it, and it didn't crash again. No idea why it was doing that before, but there has to be a bug somewhere, because it's happened to me more than once after fixing it. *** Bug 300303 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Same here, I had to start kopete from console, with --noconnect, deleted my two msn accounds and readded it. Now it's working again (no systray icon, but that's another different bug). I have the same problem, but in my case, if I start the connection wizzard Kopete crashes. So I can not setup my msn account. I believe I've made headway. Now, more recently, this is happening, but if I delete the MSN configuration and readd it, then it still won't work (though sometimes it does). What does work everytime though, was logging into MSN from Meebo, then logging back out. It sounds like this is some weird bug where Kopete/libmsn isn't properly handling something that's getting sent by MSN. It seems it has to do with pending friendship requests handling. For me, it was crashing when showing popups for them. Once I have logged in via live.com and rejected all them (pure spam accounts), I have been able to log in again from Kopete. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! MSN/WLM has been shut down, closing this bug. |
