Well you could check cooker to see if there is a newer version of licq. This problem is foreign to me and I used licq quite a lot with 8.0, always as a user. Could it be that you only have the root user set up with Licq? In your home directory, there should be a file beginning with . called .licq If you ran licq from a terminal first time and you were su'ed to root, then that might have the wrong ownerships. Start up as root one more time and copy down the account number or UIN, then delete .licq in /root and in /home/username/ and log in as a normal user and from a terminal try licq... It should set up with no problems. If you still have trouble, email me off list and I will work with you. This has to be an unusual situation and I would like to know more. Civileme QA team
