Can you provide a debug log (gaim -d > gaimdebug.log) of this happening? Created attachment 45167 [details]
Gaim debug messages
Account password was replaced with "***", otherwise this log was left intact.
Also -- I forgot to mention -- I got several messages on the terminal: dns[14919]: nobody needs me... =( dns[14990] Error: getaddrinfo returned -3 dns[14992]: nobody needs me... =( dns[15033] Error: getaddrinfo returned -3 dns[15033]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! Can you please try this with gaim-1.1.0 and see if it is still happening. I emerged gaim-1.1.0, but the problem persists. I suppose it has something to do with one of the used libraries, rather than the Gaim code... This honestly sounds like a buggy or misconfigured router/modem. Are you blocking any outbound traffic? Stu wants to know if you're using the "DNS Forwarder" of your router/modem? nothing in gaim nor its libraries does anything other than standard system calls for network functions. for this to be a problem directly caused by userspace software, it would have to be a bug in glibc and the kernel. note the includes used for getaddrinfo (linux devel man pages), they point to .h files provided by libc6. I don't think there is anything in my current network setup that can cause this issue. I admit I am far from having the required skills to analyze a network problem, but since I'm able to log to MSN with SIM (and the official Windows client) I don't think the problem lies in my configuration. I may, of course, be wrong, so if anyone could tip me about how to analyze such a problem network-wise it would be very good. Okay, that WAS my faulty network setup, got it working now (thanks Guy :-). Sorry for all the trouble... |
