amsn 0.97: login doesn't work anymore due to a protocol change

I have the same problem (from last week), my account work with emesene or pidgin, but not with amsn 0.97.

Thaks to all

maybe need 0.97.1 which fix logging issues

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=54091&release_id=610067

Is any of you still able to reproduce this bug using 0.97?

now trying to use 0.97 i got this message.. it said me that my system lacked of TLS.
but trying to install it doesn't seems to work..

I give the attachment.

@Fabio Colombo:
First, make sure you installed aMSN 0.97 from the Ubuntu repositories.
Second, sudo apt-get install tcltls
If it still doesn't work, you will need to file a new bug report, as this is a completely separate issue.

@vivia: installing tls modules and tls and tcltls packages it doesn't work.
So I've done a new bug report.

that's it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249534

bye everybody

I was asked on aMSN to post my log.txt file, associated with this problems.

Attached is what I've just uploaded to hardy-proposed.

Is there anyone using a supported stable release other than hardy and experiencing this bug?

ACK from motu-sru.

I have to disagree that this is fixed in Intrepid. I'm using Intrepid up-to-date 08/05/2008, and get the same error.

My amsn package is reported as 0.97+final-0ubuntu6.

If that is the same as 0.97.2 then 0.97.2 does NOT fix the problem, at least for me.

Ah - Intrepid just offered to upgrade amsn to 0.97.2 - but can't do it because it needs amsn-data, which is not available....

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Stephen: indeed, amsn-data is waiting in a queue (binary new) right now. An archive admin will have to accept it.

Thanks - I'll wait patiently!

On a positive note, the update for Hardy just arrived and works fine.

Thanks, everyone for the fast and effective work.

Is there any chance that the fix for this issue will be backported to gutsy?

Thanks!

@Adrien above: I am using amsn 0.97 (0.97+final-0ubuntu1~gutsy1) and recently started encountering this error on Gutsy.

Ok here is how mine got fixed

To enable the proposed archive for hardy add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

or go to System -> Administration -> Software sources and tick the hardy-proposed box under the updates tab.

close amsn window

Now open a shell and type sudo apt-get update

Now type sudo apt-get install amsn

now open amsn. If it works then go back to the the start and un-tick the Hardy-Proposed box
now in that same shell type sudo apt-get update to get back where you were.

If it works for you please keep updating this thread

By the way I am running Ubuntu Hardy.

Thanks to Adri2000

I installed amsn from proposed updates and now i can login to my msn account succesfully.

John: you are using a gutsy-backports version. That is not supported, so you'll have to go back to 0.97RC1+dfsg-0ubuntu1 (or backport yourself the fixed hardy version).
I am going to upload a 0.97RC1+dfsg-0ubuntu1.1 fixed package to gutsy-proposed soon.

to: adrenaline

thanks my dear partner jejeje..... when I read your post I did undestand that you're so clever & How i can explain it....

thanks, thanks, thanks for your information...

I can already login in my count with aMSN.

my e-mail <email address hidden> member free society's programmers.... thaks

Uploaded to gutsy-proposed.

Accepted gutsy-proposed update, please test this as well.

bump from Intrepid - still apparently waiting for amsn-data.....

Stephen: It is now accepted, so it should be available in the archive very soon. Thanks go to pitti :)

No luck with dapper. First the patch didn't apply correctly, and then it doesn't fix the bug it seems. So I'm closing as won't fix. If someone has a fixed package for dapper that works though, feel free to propose a debdiff.

Which aMSN version is Dapper using? It might be a version running
MSNP9 instead of MSNP12, so you would normally have to change it in
the patch - after it is applied.

I am on holidays right now and this PC is not mine, so the number of
things I can install is very limited. However, I can probably tell
the problem if you give me the part of protocol.tcl that got patched,
and a dump of the status log (available through Ctrl+S from aMSN's
main window) and of the protocol log (Ctrl+D).

Uploaded to feisty-proposed.

vivia: dapper has amsn 0.95. Attached is the debdiff I tested.

I cannot create a new diff, but I am 99% sure I found the mistake.

Instead of this part:

+ if { [::config::getKey protocol] == 16 } {
+ set ver "MSNP16"
+ } elseif { [::config::getKey protocol] == 15 } {
+ set ver "MSNP15"
+ } else {
+ set ver "MSNP12"
+ }

use this one:

+ set ver "MSNP9"

aMSN 0.95 only supports MSNP9.

Thanks vivia. Another aMSN developer in #amsn told me that 0.95 also has MSNP11 but disabled by default, so I kept both MSNP9 and MSNP11, and it works! :)
I've just uploaded the corrected debdiff to dapper-proposed.

Fine for me both uploads to feisty-proposed and dapper-proposed.

PyMSNt has also stopped working, it could be the same issue?

Accepted into dapper-proposed.

Accepted into feisty-proposed.

To: Adrenaline,

Thanks a lot for your instruction on debugging amsn.
I followed you guide, on hardy-proposed updates and now I can launch amsn.
I use hardy 64 bit.

I tried the update tonight, it connect well but I got another issue when I have new mail i click on the link but it won't log in hotmail website. somebody else got that issue ? beside that it work fine :)

Yes, Marc - I get the same issue. aMSN opens the hotmail login dialog instead of going through.

I suspect that MS has changed that protocol too, as my wife reports similar behavior using Windows Vista.

The hardy-proposed version (0.97+final-0ubuntu5.1) works for me as expected. Thanks for the quick fix.

Ooops - can we have a fixed version for Ubuntu Studio as well? Pretty please..... The Ubuntu Studio repo still offers 0.97+final-0ubuntu5 as the latest version, and it doesn't work......

Thanks in advance!

Stephen: Ubuntu Studio uses the same archive as Ubuntu, so it is fixed there as well. Are you sure you have -proposed enabled?

Ah - yes, you're right. I had forgotten that the update was only in -proposed. Ubuntu Studio now works fine.

Isn't it time to move it into main? There seems little point in having a broken version there for conservative types who prefer well-tested installs to the bleeding edge....

Works fine on feisty

Hardy and Feisty updates got successful feedback, moved those to -updates.

The package in gutsy-proposed works.

The package in dapper-proposed works.

Good job Adri2000 ;)

Copied dapper and gutsy packages to -updates following successful feedback.

Still no luck with Intrepid. I have removed amsn and amsndata from system using synaptic and re-installed from command line but still not connecting. One could assume company firewall but pidgin works fine. Different port mebe? Grrr it's sad being stupid.

Not working for me too, either using HTTP method or otherwise. No firewall, no known problems on my connection; pidgin, kopete and emesene work fine.

Sorry, forgot to say, Ubuntu Jaunty 32-bit with all updates, amsn 0.97.2.

It works now. Thank you very much!

I am invalidating this task as this bug was marked "fixed released" & this task was assigned to a hotmail account instead of the upstream sourceforge bug tracker.
