Description Stephen Farrugia 2005-07-09 00:13:47 UTC
The wmium plugin for gkrellm does not work with gkrellm version 2.2.6 onwards. 
I have had an involved email discussion with the developer, the result being the
following.

What's changed is that gkrellm-2.2.6 and newer link to GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL
if it's available. Since wmium-gk2 unconditionally links to OpenSSL, the result
is a mess (as you've discovered).  Now, GnuTLS does have an "OpenSSL
compatibility layer" which should be usable with only a few small codechanges.
However, it doesn't appear to be very compatible at all :-/  Therefore, the only
thing I can recommend is to make Gkrellm link to OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS, by
using the --without-gnutls argument to gkrellm's "configure" script. This should
make things work properly again.

There's the answer!
Fudge

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge wmium
2. Enable the wmium plugin in gkrellm
3. Does not work!



Expected Results:  
Should correctly authenticate with the Internode account server.

probably covered under bug #93211 
 
I was wondering why it wasn't working all of a sudden. I'll look into it more 
later.
