Description Chris Smith 2003-02-18 21:34:27 UTC

I cannot connect to AIM (via Oscar) or ICQ using kopete 0.5, 0.6, 0.6.1 or cvs. When I try to 
connect to AIM I get this error on stderr: 
 
QerverSocket: failed to bind or listen to the socket  
 
And after a while, this gets repeated thousands of times in any xsession error file. 
 
select: Bad file descriptor 
 
I ended up with xsession-error files close to 1GB and ended up having to link them to /dev/null. 
On top of that, ICQ also refuses to connect to it's server spitting this error out on stderr: 
 
kopete: WARNING: 19:45:16 [WRN] Connection closed 
 
Which just serves to confuse me even more. MSN connects fine, as does Kit (KDE AIM client) 
and GAIM barfs, but it's always been screwy. 
 
I submitted this bug to the Kopete developers, they seem to put it down to a glibc problem and 
ask me to upgrade, but I'm already running the glibc out of the unstable tree :( The Kopete 
developers proposed fix failed as well, So i figured I was better off posting here. 
 
Thanks, 
Chris.

I must say, I do not have this problem, but I use the stable branch of Gentoo.  Also, there was 
a HUGE bug in 0.6.1 which would not open up a chat window when using AIM.  After enabling 
debug mode, I got the error that kopete: KopeteMetaContact::startChat() not implemented!  
WOW!  What a mess up!  Anyways, I just made an ebuild for 0.6.1a and will see if this is fixed.  
If it is, I will post the new ebuild.

Comment 2 Bart Verwilst 2003-02-26 17:36:47 UTC

This has nothing to do with Gentoo itself though ;o) But 0.6.1 had AIM problems 
indeed. I made 0.6.1a stable a few hours ago, and that should fix your problems.. 
Thanks!
