GAIM Problems

  • Quote

Post by Zaphan58 » Tue Jan 20, 2004 6:02 pm

First off I was not sure whee to put this so if its in the wrong section feel free to move it! Im having problems getting GAIM to show buddyicons in both the chat window and the contact list. The option to show buddy icons in the contact list is selected! I searched and found a thread on the same problem the solution was to change the access rights on /usr/share/pixmaps but that directoy does not exist with GAIM v0.75, I have just emerged 0.75 today from 0.72 and the buddy icons did not work in 0.72 either so I'm stumped! (easily done :))

/usr/share/pixmaps seems to be where it stores the smilies.

.gaim/icons possibly is where it stores the buddy icons? Does that have the correct permissions? Have you cleared out all the settings and the such and checked to see if it recreates the dirs and then works?

.gaim/icons does not seem to exist either heres what in it:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b$ cd .gaim
bash-2.05b$ dir
accels        blist.xml  id.priv  prefs.xml  status.xml
accounts.xml  id         logs     smileys
My local user accoutn has ownership of .gaim so I would pressume I have the correct permissions for it? 8O

All should be under /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim. Check permission on the directories and the files in them.

Hi there,

I am having too, some problems with all the GAIM v0.75 on a x86. I can connect to the hotmail server (and checking new mail), but I can't IM anybody. As soon as I want to send my IM message, gaim just freeze.

I guess I am doing something wrong but did not find what. I search a while on the forum and google. Sorry if i missed something, I am newbee.

could anyone point me where to start looking ? thanks a lot.

PC: pentium4, kernel2.4.20.

USE="X gtk gnome alsa bonobo"

My directory for .gaim looks like that with those perms. Possibly try creating the directory and see what happens?

Really odd why the directorys are not being created, I will try and create them I'm a real noob to linux so it might take some workign out hw to set the permissions on the directorys. :lol:
