Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: brjaga (brjaga) >Assigned to: Richard Laager (rlaager) Summary: logging not working Initial Comment: I'm using the Windows version of Gaim and I'm finding myself unable to log conversations or to use the system log. I went to \Documents and Settings\(my username)\Application Data and there was no .gaimdirectory. When I try to view the logs it just gives me an empty form. This is more of a minor annoyance than a serious problem, so I can understand if there are more pressing concerns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin Stange (kstange) Date: 2004-12-13 21:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=726342 You should try to determine what caused your HOME directory to be modified and restore it, however Gaim 1.1.0 uses the GAIMHOME value which means that if you install that version of Gaim, your profile should return to the documents and settings location. Have you upgraded to Gaim 1.1.0 yet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: brjaga (brjaga) Date: 2004-12-13 20:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1128728 I am the admin, but I typically use a non-admin login to protect my system from the dangers of the Internet. However, I was able to create a folder "logs" in the .gaim directory. (One had not existed before.) It's actually kind of disturbing that my home directory isn't protected... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin Stange (kstange) Date: 2004-12-13 20:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=726342 You have enabled logging through the preferences, correct? Does your system give you the rights to create directories and files in C:\HOME? If you are not an administrator or the folder permissions are very unusual you could be unable to create new items in that location. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: brjaga (brjaga) Date: 2004-12-13 20:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1128728 actually, I checked and my HOME variable is set to the folder C:\HOME\. I looked inside it and there is a folder named .GAIM. However, this folder doesn't contain any logs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin Stange (kstange) Date: 2004-12-13 20:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=726342 open a command prompt window (start -> run -> cmd) Type the following: set HOME If none of the values listed say "HOME=" at the beginning, home is not set. Also, as Luke asked, does your username have any non-ASCII (international) characters in it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: brjaga (brjaga) Date: 2004-12-13 20:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1128728 How can I tell whether the HOME environment variable is set, and what it's set to? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2004-10-17 18:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 do you have a username with a non-ascii character in it? is your HOME enviroment variable set? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1035150&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Gaim-support mailing list Gaim-support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-support
