roster

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/07/2004 - 09:42

Hi,

I am trying to use tkabber on Slackware Linux 9.1. Everything seems OK, but I do not see my roster in the left part of the Tkabber window. The roster is imported OK, when people write to me, I see their nicks. It is also possible to export the roster into the file. Could you tell me what should I write into the config.tcl file?

Thank you Jakub

Hiden roster

This is the first time I read something like this.

Maybe you hide the roster with Ctrl+R.
Are you using Tkabber 0.9.7, CVS or older?
You can try Tkabber-Starpack to see if it's your Tkabber or if the problem is on the config.
Are you using tabbed mode or untabbed mode?

Hi,

roster is not hidden by Ctrl+R, I see the window for him, bu it is completely white, without any text. I have tried Tkabber 0.9.6 (beta), 0.9.7 and Starpack, everything with the same result, both with tabbed and untabbed mode. I am sending the error message:

I am not a programmer, so I do not understand perfectly, but it is possible, that the problem is not at the side of tkabber.

Thank you

Problematic character

Submitted by badlop on Wed, 09/08/2004 - 08:47.

It seems to complain when trying to draw icq-t or similar. Now that you mention, I remember that a lot of month ago (when I used transports) an error similar ocurred to me when a contact in other network used a nick with a strange character.

You can try this:

Login on your account with other Jabber client (Psi for example).
Create a dummy account. Login in it with Tkabber.
Add to your roster your old account, so you have someone on your new dummy account roster.
If Tkabber shows the roster of the new account, then the problem may be that a contact in your old account has put a nick with a strange character that Tkabber or Tck/Tk cannot handle.

If this is the case, you have three solutions:

Wait until a solution is implemented in Tkabber, Tcl/Tk or where the problem is.
Use another Jabber client that suports this character until your contact changes his nick to something normal.
Ask politely to your conficting contact to modify his nick a little. Maybe you want to remove him from your roster.
