Category: None Group: None >Status: Pending Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Ronis (ronis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: KDE required? Initial Comment: This really isn't a bug, but... I recently upgraded gaim to 1.5.0 (and then to beta2) on a slackware-10.2 linux box. One of my users kept having gaim shut down whenever she was connected to MSN and received a message. By running from the command line, we saw that the problem had something to do with mcop. After much playing around, I found that the problem was that she had never run KDE (gnome is the default window manager on this box) and hence, .kde and .mcop weren't set up properly. I ran some KDE application to initinalize things, and the prolems went away. This is new (gaim has worked for this user for years). It's trivial to fix, but something shoul d be mentioned in the documentation.

Libao's auto detect seems to favor kde's arts, which uses mcop. You can force libao to use something else either by selecting "esd" in the preferences (if you use gnome, this might be a good choice), or by creating a ~/.libao file as per the faq at gaim.sf.net/faq.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1435283&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
