[Douglas Campos]

Steps to reproduce

try to go online
it will start to fly the "butterfly" then goes gray (4 seconds)

msn was having some connection problems lately.

I can connect to msn here.

Can you still reproduce this?

I'm able to reproduce error:

Kubuntu Feisty, fully updated. I was able to get rid of the problem temporaly by deleting ~/.kde/apps/share/kopete but now is back.

The same account works without problems with amsn.

still reproducible, 20070223.

[Luis F. Lopez (luis.lopez)]

As of Feb 26th 2007 the problem seems to be gone on my installation.

Is there someone still able to reproduce this?

Up to date feisty, 2007-03-05. Same symptoms as above. Deleting ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete does not fix it. Deleting kopeterc as well and re-creating the account doesn't help either.

Same MSN account works fine in edgy (kopete 0.12.3 from kubuntu.org kde package)

What is missing for some dev mark this as confirmed, at least?

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm a dev, and I still cant reproduce this with my msn account.

Does the problem go away if you first select another status, then select online? I've occasionally had that - that it will just go grey if i try to hit online straight away - but not in a while.

It sounds like a config issue, if removing ~/.kde/apps/share/kopete fixes it. as for why it comes back, I dont know.

[Douglas Campos (theros-deactivatedaccount)]

tried what you suggested and it still wont work

removed ~/.kde/apps/share/kopete, even kopeterc

Still fails 2007-03-06 updated feisty

I had the same problem. The solution was to close KNetworkManager.
Konqueror wasn't connecting to internet either and I read in Ubuntu forums that killing KNetworkManager it will connect. I close it and then konqueror work fine and kopete also connect to MSN.
I have a laptop connected by wifi and with the Ethernet port not connecting, and KNetworkManager only recognize the desconected Ethernet but not the wifi (not showing any ESSID even being connecting to one). So I guess it is a problem with KNetworManager.

Hope that helps.

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

may be a networkmanager problem then.

[Douglas Campos (theros-deactivatedaccount)]

I can second that. After closing network manager, it connected fine :)

Bug #86680 seems to have the symptoms that we are talking about here:

Maybe we can mark this bug as a duplicate...
