Version: Version 0.70.90 Using KDE 4.3.1 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When I try to login using WML, I get the following error: MSN: Error: basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid Other info: I have two live accounts. One old hotmail and one newly created live account. I can login with the new one, but not the old one. During a google search, some one suggested that changing the password length might be the problem. I have tried and changing it but the problem is still there. No other client have this problem with my old account. Pidgin is able to log in, aMSN as well, and of course the original Windows software has no problem.
I have the same problem

I am the reporter for Bug 186032. I just want to remark that I still have the problem in Kopete 0.80.2 (KDE 4.3.2, Kubuntu 9.10). It only happens with one particular WLM account, though. I have another WLM account that I can log into just fine.
Could you compile libmsn and send the console log to my mail? The instruction are (you will have to install subversion, cmake and gcc): svn co https://libmsn.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libmsn/trunk libmsn mkdir libmsn-build cd libmsn-build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DENABLE_DEBUG=true ../libmsn/ make -j2 sudo make install to capture the log use kopete --nofork &>kopetelog.txt this will create kopetelog.txt in current directory
Created attachment 39976 [details] kopetelog.txt Sure. Here is a kopetelog.txt.
There's no wlm debug, please check that in /usr/lib* you have libmsn.so which points to libmsn.so.0.3.0 and that you don't have any other version in /usr/lib*
I have the following in my /usr/lib. What should I do to get rid of the unwanted ones? Just delete them? ore@ore-desktop:/tmp/kopete/libmsn-build$ ls -l /usr/lib/libmsn* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-01-17 15:18 /usr/lib/libmsn.so -> libmsn.so.0.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2009-12-22 14:10 /usr/lib/libmsn.so.0.1 -> libmsn.so.0.1.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 679524 2009-06-25 09:13 /usr/lib/libmsn.so.0.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2010-01-17 15:18 /usr/lib/libmsn.so.0.3 -> libmsn.so.0.3.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3849124 2010-01-17 15:18 /usr/lib/libmsn.so.0.3.0 ore@ore-desktop:/tmp/kopete/libmsn-build$
Hm this will not work :( Remove the 0.3* files and backup the 0.1* files then download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmsn/libmsn/4.0%20beta%208/libmsn-4.0-beta8.tar.bz2?use_mirror=ovh and unpack it to clean libmsn directory mkdir libmsn-build cd libmsn-build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DENABLE_DEBUG=true ../libmsn/ make -j2 sudo make install
If Kopete starts to crash you may have to try http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmsn/libmsn/4.0%20beta%206/libmsn-4.0-beta6.tar.bz2?use_mirror=garr
I tried the steps you explained in Comment #9. Installation seems to regenerate libmsn.so.0.1, but not 0.3. Also, it caused Kopete to crash immediately on startup. I then tried what you said in Commen #10. Now Kopete no longer crashes, but the installation has once more regenerated libmsn.so.0.1. My kopetelog.txt does not look much better: ore@ore-desktop:/big/Linux/libmsn-build$ more kopetelog.txt Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.

Sorry there isn't debug switch in beta6 ... please use http://kedge.wz.cz/kopete/libmsn-4.0-beta6.tar.bz2 this should finally work ... sorry for the mistakes.
Thanks. Here comes a new log file (too big to upload here): http://rapidshare.com/files/336767655/kopetelog.txt.html
Created attachment 39979 [details] Debug output from kopete when trying to connect to msn Here is my debug log when trying to connect to msn with kopete, using the libmsn with debug enabled. I have changed my actual login and password in the output, as I don't want someone else to take over my account. I hope that extra debug information makes it simpler to solve this bug.
Could you try the http://kedge.wz.cz/kopete/libmsn-4.0-beta6_1.tar.bz2 if you will see in console XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX reasonString1:Profile accrual is required Claus: I couldn't download the file because the servers are busy and I don't have rapidshare account ... please send it to kedgedev (at) gmail.com J.O. Aho if you are using different version then beta6 I can send you patch.
I'm currently using beta6, but have ebuilds for beta8 and final 4.0, I'll compile with the new package as soon as I'm back from work and see what I get.
So, compiled the patched libmsn and here is the result: $ kopete --autoconnect usert@example.net Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX reasonString1:Profile accrual is required MSN: Error: Profile accrual is required So what is the next step?
J.O. Aho: great, please set birth year and country for that account (using http://login.live.com/) and it should work
Thanks, that seems to work fine. I would give a suggestion to an improvement in kopete, tell the end user about the possible problem and how to fix it. Thanks again for your great help.
Created attachment 40044 [details] libmsn fixes The patch should fix Claus Appel's login problems and also will print error message if login failed (for now only in console) J.O. Aho error.
Fix was committed into libmsn (will be in next libmsn version).
