[newbie] gaim
Okay I have gaim installed, I have signed in to Yahoo Messenger in Win2k. Problem is gaim says incorrect password when I try to check in. I have verified password, case, and then checked in successfully again in wink2. Connection is through the same router to the same isp. Any ideas? Lee -- My new address is [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Lee I have found that the password saving function in the past few versions of GAIM are flaky at best; with Yahoo! delete and then recreate the account - do NOT save the password - and it should work without flaw; I thought at first that someone was logged into my Yahoo! account, but after some experimentation, found this to be the issue.

[newbie] Gaim-Fixed Problem
The fix is disappointing. I urpme'ed the mdk that urpmi installs, then dl'ed the gaim-1.0.1-0mdk9.2.i586.rpm from sourceforge. It installs and runs properly as far as I can tell. At least I can login now. Thanks to the person who suggested sourceforge in the first place. It would have saved me another couple of hours of mdk frustration had I listened.

Hi all, My gaim just suddenly stopped connecting to msn - has any else had this problem? I tried with 0.73 after it failed on 0.74 but no joy.

[newbie] gaim crash - won't go away!
Hi all, I thoughtI might be able to give you some peace, but no such luck! I tried to use gaim to get onto my msn account, but it has crashed and I can't get rid of it. I have it sitting there not responding on my desktop, and can't shut it down. Under windows I would simply do a ctrl/alt/del How do I end task in Linux? I've tried rebooting, but when the desktop comes back, so does gaim, still stuck there. I'm sure there is a keystroke somewhere equivalent to 'end task' - what on earth is it? On the one occasion it decided to close itself, when I reopened, it did so in a crashed state and wouldn't go away! H
Re: [newbie] gaim crash - won't go away!
Ctl+Alt+Esc then click on the locked up window There is also an icon on your desktop called XKill Click on that then click on the failed application Ctl+Alt+Backspace to kill your KDE session All this stuff is covered in the manual which is accessed by the Documentation icon on your desktop. file:/usr/share/doc/mandrake/en/ref.html/ts-killing-apps.html To stop gaim starting automatically when you log in, then kill gaim, log off with the 'restore desktop' box checked. Log off. Next time you log on gaim will not start, but be sure that the next time you log off the 'restore session' box is unchecked. People always get confused by the restore session thing. KDE in fact will 'always' restore a session. Checking the box simply tells KDE to restore 'this' session. If the box is not checked it will restore from a previous session when the box 'was' checked. derek On Tuesday 05 March 2002 16:44, you wrote: Hi all, I thought I might be able to give you some peace, but no such luck!

open a text console (or term) to log in (as root you if you need to kill a program started as root, type su [enter] root [enter] type password for root, do not expect to see anything echped to screen as you type the password) type top [enter] (without the quotes) and look for gaim there are a few ways to sort top, and a few ways to get the same info (ps aux gives the whole she-bang of running processes) then you will see the number of the processes gaim started. and in top, you can do k 3407 [enter, enter] (changing 3407 to match whatever number is the assigned number for the process) On Tuesday 05 March 2002 11:44, you wrote: Hi all, I thought I might be able to give you some peace, but no such luck!

If I can get GAIM working they'd probably stick to linux exclusively. When I enter one their login names and password, it comes back "no configuration". If I use the wrong password, I get the error message "Login failed" or something to that effect. I don't see anything that would allow me to make special configuration arrangements w/i GAIM itself.

[newbie] gaim
Anyone here use gaim? I decided to try it last night. I registered and got a username etc.. Then when I try to start gaim and log on, it does a little jig and leaves a little "No configuration" message at the bottom. The FAQ and readme are not all that helpful. Any ideas?
