RTCOMM MSN Contacts - I just want a straight answer.
 

Okay so I have trawled through pages and pages on the forums and bug reports but I cannot just find a straight answer. I installed RTComm from the applications manager on my N810 and set up an MSN account but my contacts wont show up, I have tried waiting but after over an hour they still wont show.

Do I need to install something extra, or change anything, or anything like that to make them work? Ive tried rebooting and everything and it just keeps saying No Contacts Found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you haven't already, you need to install a different libpurple0. search the forums for the details. that is what worked for me at least.

From what I remember, there's no longer a need for that if you have the Collabora repository installed and are in red pill mode, I think. It's been a while so I may have forgotten.

qole is the one that put out the instructions for replacing the libpurple0 library with his own.

Umm..... In newbie language? I searched for libpurple0 in the available apps and it gave no results. Sorry Im being a pain I know but I really just need an actual set of instructions to go on. Really sorry >.<

Give that a shot.

The problem with that is that the qole repository doesnt exist any more :/ The url is totally dead.

Yes, unfortunately, qole's web host blew up the hard drive controller in the server that held qole.org. The site will reappear once they herd all the little ones and zeros off the backup tapes and onto a working machine.

So its only short term? How long ago did this happen?

Re: RTCOMM MSN Contacts - I just want a straight answer.
 

It should be, yes.

Yesterday, or perhaps the day before. Please see the web host's status report, "Greenlantern Lost His Ring". Yes, really.

Aaah thanks. Hopefully when its back up and running Ill have integrated MSN with my contacts actually showing up haha. I can use Pidgin but Id really like the integration with the contacts and stuff.

Re: RTCOMM MSN Contacts - I just want a straight answer.
 

Okay so the qole repository finally went back online and I followed these instructions. Unfortunately my contacts still dont appear so I think Im just gonna have to stick with Pidgin unless anyone has any miracle solutions?

Re: RTCOMM MSN Contacts - I just want a straight answer.
 

Update: The problem isnt anything like I thought it was. I use a gmail addy for MSN and this stops it from showing contacts. Every other account Ive had in the past works fine, but not my Gmail ones, which is a pain because I just deleted a load of contacts thinking it was because of the massive download.

Try to load all your accounts over pidgin (don't forget to show your offline buddies ). Disconnect pidgin go back to rtcomm and normally the entire list will appear.
basically this is how i solve the problem anytime I reinstall rtcomm after a flash.
