Offline Instant Messaging (OIM)

[Fenix-TX]

Today, when i click to see an oim, i get this bug:

Code:

can't read "nums": no such variable
    while executing
"foreach {v w z} $nums break"
    (procedure "base64::decode" line 27)
    invoked from within
"base64::decode $data"
    (procedure "parseFieldEncoding" line 14)
    invoked from within
"parseFieldEncoding $nick"
    (procedure "::MSNOIM::getOIMMessageCallback" line 17)
    invoked from within
"::MSNOIM::getOIMMessageCallback {::OIM_GUI::MessagesReceivedCallback {} uriel_colerixxx@sadamsnuser.com =?utf-8?B?=wqDCoFVyaWVs?= BDA2DCC8-D1A4-4C1E-825C-..."
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval $callbk [list $message]"

Hi,
can you reproduce it ? if yes, add a :

Code:

puts "$from __ $nick __ $email"

at line 2941 of protocol.tcl (latest SVN), so you should get :

Code:

}
set email [string trim $email " <>"]
puts "$from __ $nick __ $email"
set nick [parseFieldEncoding $nick]
if { $cencoding == "base64" } {

Then reproduce it again.. paste here what's being outputed in the terminal (you need to launch amsn from a terminal).
thx

Ok:

Code:

jesus@tux-CT:~/amsn$ ./amsn
ioctl: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP(driver=";card=";bus_info=";version=5.140.108;capabilities=0x0 []): Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
=?utf-8?B?=wqDCoFVyaWVs?= <uriel_coleridge@hotmail.com> __ =?utf-8?B?=wqDCoFVyaWVs?=  __ uriel_coleridge@hotmail.com

[kakaroto]

I can't reproduce it!!
did it bug again (with the same error) when you had that output that you just pasted ?
It works fine here.. and by the way, the bug is from base64, I thought that maybe amsn was giving it something wrong, but it doesn't look like it, I tried manually :

Code:

% ::MSNOIM::parseFieldEncoding "=?utf-8?B?=wqDCoFVyaWVs?= "
  Uriel

I tried with :

Code:

% package require base64
2.3.2

and with  :

Code:

% package require base64
2.2.2

press Ctrl-Shift-C to open the console and type the "package require base64" to see which version you have...  maybe the version you have is older/newer and contains this bug...
Try also "package versions" to see the versions you have installed on your system :

Code:

% package versions base64
2.3.2 2.2.2

if you have 2.3.2 or 2.2.2, then grep for 'base64' and 'package' and where we do the "package require base64" change it into "package require -exact base64 2.3.2" .. see if that helps...

Yes, i always have this bug, because i always have this oim and i can't see it, so when i open amsn, i have that oim and if i click yes to see it, i have the bug and the output that i put in latest post.

About base64 i have this:

Code:

(amsn) 1 % package require base64
2.2.2
(amsn) 2 % package versions base64
2.2.2

It's strange, i always see OIMs, i don't know why now i have this bug :-S

server problems, could be bugs with the servers, or server unavailable. The flood protection is when you send too much/too often/too long messages. WLM seems to suffer from the same problems, so no reason to blame amsn.

ok thanks, now I know that too  :wink:

@Fenix-TX : Hopefully this shouldn't happen anymore, I made a change that makes sure that the library we provide (like base64, snit, etc..) are used instead of the ones you have installed on your system (unless it's a higher version installed). So it should use the 2.2.2 from amsn's utils directory which is known to work...
btw, maybe you could do a diff between utils/base64 and the base64 you have on your system (/usr/lib/tcllib1.9/base64 ).

I can't find base64 on my system, i've only find base64 on my amsn...


PS: Happy xmas

PS2: I have not installed tcllin in my computer  :oops:

Hello i'm a new user of amsn and also a new user of linux (ubuntu 7.10)
i have the 0.98b version of amsn and when i send offline messages i get

The following message could not be delivered :
 (authentication failed)

i don't the same problem with WLM...( sometimes messages are not delived but we are talking about a 5%)
this had been discussed in the past as i see...are there any news about it?
thanks

[kakaroto]

no news, it's server issues, it can happen sometimes, just wait and retry... (or disconnect reconnect maybe?)

Can OIM be disabled? Today when I tried to sign in I had a message from 2 contacts. It opens their seperate window and flickers back and forth between the two and after a few seconds locks the computer

[kakaroto]

disable OIM? click 'no'

[Kreuger]

I did that and it worked but Im worried about it happened at another time. Any idea what the problem could be?

[kakaroto]

yes.. the problem is that you're not using SVN...

[Kreuger]

Uh yeah I am. Just not the very latest. It's about a week old. But I'll build it now again today
