Study Notes

My computer in the office is installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update4. I want to try MSN in this operating system. RHEL supplies gaim program which can be configured in MSN,ICQ and other instant message tools. First , in the user’s input box, I create my MSN account and set the proxy server that is tested ok in other Windows.And then, connect the MSN remote server. It seems everything goes well.But as the Gaim showes the sucessful connection message and group’s information, there is the following error breaking the Gaim program:

"unable to write to MSN server via http (error9)"

I’ve searched some document during the Internet, no useful resolution has been found. When I used gaim in FC3(with the latest kernal:2.6.12-1.1381), the MSN plus program works ok.

AMSN is other MSN tools in Linux operating system. I downloaded the latest amsn reversion 0.94 from its website. and then installed the “bin” by executing “# ./xxx.bin”. in the directory created,issue the following command:

# ./amsn

the graphic interface was displayed. New trouble happened.I could not type any character in the input-box and configuration list.
This problem was resolved later by issuing the following command:

# su -
#  cd /opt/amsn-0.94

where /opt/amsn was the amsn’s main directory.

# ./amsn

After all these steps, amsn would be input character and number,but this soft still could not support Chinese. I tried to download some pitch from a website of Taiwan,and the amsn was configured to traditional Chinese which I ‘m not able to type this in my office’s computer.

This moring, I opened evoluation and gaim at the same time,after some time,the graphic console has no responsibilty.I did not want to reboot the system,so I changed to console by pressing “alt+F2”, and then check the system’s status:

# top
# ps -e

I killed evoluation and gaim procession, but the graphic console was still halted.OK,I tried to kill the X procession,then the console returned to log graphic,yes,I’ve done it and resolven this trouble! How happly I am!
