Gaim update breaking something
Hallo, After updating today, I realised there is a Gaim update. I installed it . I get home from school, and now when I sign onto any of my AIM accounts over Gaim it says something about a protocol plug in missing or something similar and won't sign on anymore. Anyone else having this problem? A work around? I haven't installed the Kernel update either, mainly because I did that a week ago and had to reformat when SUSE would start booting up, and then stop, no screen, nothing and no log in prompt, and pretty much had to use the power button to reboot because it would be just frozen. I reboot and tried again and got lots of errors and then it would just freeze. Anyone have this either? So so far the Gaim update and Kenel update don't seem to play nice.

I updated my 9.3 laptop a couple hours ago. Haven't had any issues. I restarted KDE and Gaim.. no problems logging into any of my IM accounts. There must be another issue. :/ -Ben -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

The other person and me aren't using 9.3. The box this is happening on is 9.1 and the other box they had is 9.0.

I don't know if this is your problem, but I ran into something similar a while ago. I had that problem with gaim a few versions ago. I update gaim regularly and compile it from source. The fix for me was to compile and install the gnutls libs. Gaim can also use the mozilla tls libs, but according to the gaim source README, gnutls is preferred. I found that older versions of gnutls didn't work and did use the mozilla libs for a while, but am now using the gnutls stuff. If you compile from source, you will need to install gnutls (source at ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/), and then the gaim source (you can find it at freshmeat.net) with at least the following in the configure command: ./configure --enable-gnutls=yes Hope this is useful, Jim
