Version: 1.2-alpha1 (using 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1", openSUSE Factory) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4-default I open konversation and click on connect, and it says the following and nothing else: [06:46] [Info] Looking for server chat.freenode.net:8001... [06:46] [Info] Server found, connecting... It never seems to connect. I believe the reason may be that I am behind a proxy that requires basic authentication. When I open other internet applications, I am usually prompted for a username and password which identifies me to the proxy server so I can go ahead and connect to the internet. Konversation does not do this. How can I download the source and what IDE should I use to compile it and see whats going on?
Konversation doesn't have proxy support at present. Check http://konversation.kde.org/ for where to find the source code (see the "Get from SVN" link in the menu and look for the info on the KDE 4 port in the wiki page it links to). No IDE is required to compile Konversation. Popular IDEs among KDE developers are KDevelop and QtCreator.
This is a duplicate of either bug #135061 or bug #105844 depending on what type of proxy you want to use.
SVN commit 1011502 by psn: Add socks v5 and http proxy support which uses the same proxy settings for all connections.
