The last message seen during the connection process is "Waiting for login acknowledgment", after which the connection window disappears and the buddy list window goes blank; I have to perform a force quit. Additionally, I installed the debuginfo RPMs and tried to follow the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces but to no avail, as the following gdb output shows: $ gdb gaim GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.24rh) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I also should note that the same versions worked OK yesterday, so it's possible that gaim or meanwhile somehow corrupted something in my settings. I have not yet been able to update to the more current upstream packages for testing due to a maintenance outage at sourceforge.net. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): meanwhile-0.4.2-1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gaim 2. Choose to login to Sametime profile Additional info:
I moved my .gaim to a backup directory and restarted gaim to create the account from scratch. This time, I was able to get a stack trace: Thread 1 (Thread -1208793408 (LWP 8418)): #0 0x6c656966 in ??

But the fact that it worked for me when I ran as root tells me it's not just site-specific.
I need to get a rawhide system up and running before I can try to recreate this. I'll talk with the upstream meanwhile folks and see if it's a known issue in the meantime. Thanks for the report. Stay tuned.
Please try to get the debugging output from gaim by running `gaim -d` This should provide some insight as to what's happening leading up to the hang and crash. Also, try using the 'Force Login' option. Start gaim as `gaim -n` to prevent it from automatically logging on, then go to preferences and select the 'Meanwhile' options on the bottom-left to get to the plugin's preferences.
Created attachment 115291 [details] Output of 'gaim -d' Here's the 'gaim -d' output as requested. Using the 'force login' option does let me connect, after all. So now I have a workaround; I'll see if it works for my Windows user also, although I notice that the version of gaim I have on Windows doesn't have that option.
My Windows user upgraded to gaim-meanwhile-1.2.3 and it works for him. So maybe we just need a version bump?
Hm, I requested a build for 1.2.3 a while ago... seems stuck in the build system somewhere. I'll dig around and see if I can get it pushed out.
Ok, gaim-meanwhile-1.2.3-1.fc5 should be available in the Extras development repository. Please upgrade and give this a shot.
First day back in the office. Post-upgrade, without the "force login" option turned on, the same behavior is still seen (ie gaim process hangs).
I think I have this fixed in gaim-meanwhile CVS, however I've only been able to test it with a mockup of a redirecting server since I don't have access to a system that issues actual redirects. Would you be willing to test a CVS snapshot?
No problem, though it might be a day or two. Where can I get it?
I'll grab CVS tonight and spin up an RPM. I'll post it's location as soon as I get it built.
Ok, there are test RPMs built on gaim-meanwhile CVS at: http://jdub.homelinux.org/files/gaim-meanwhile/testing/4/ and http://jdub.homelinux.org/files/gaim-meanwhile/testing/development/ I was able to log into a non-redirecting with ST server with the RPM. Please test it out when you get a chance.
Kyle, let us know if this works for you when you get a chance. If so, then I think the upstream developers will be releasing 1.2.4 soon.
Turned off workaround option, it still works - WFM now.
just dropped gaim-meanwhile 1.2.4 on the world (upstream). Thanks!
Updated in CVS. I submitted builds, but the build server for Extras is currently being worked on. As soon as it's back up and running, the update should be available
The Fedora Core 3 and 4 builds have been released, and the development build has completed successfully. It should be pushed out soon. Thanks for the help on this one.
