Don't post twice so quickly, it makes you look annoying and rude. Your problem doesn't deserve any more of our attention that the other ton of new threads that are here. If you get no replies the forum will automatically bump your thread 3 times so posting again is not needed.

Run gaim from a terminal and when it crashes read the output there, it'll tell you something useful.

Try using aMSN here is a howto for UBUNTU

there is probably some problem with your connection GAIM worked fine for me.

i am using linspire ..........there aint a installer for that on amsn .........installing it through CNR or synaptic installs the old version (which keeps saying wrong psswrd) and if i somehow install the debian one on linspire it busts my CNR and some other software...................i have tried it ..........

i am sorry for being rude man i am a complete hardcore windows user and completely new to linux stuff and i am eager to know answers..........



well the output from terminal is




Gaim has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
This is a bug in the software and has happened through
no fault of your own.

It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS.
If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the gaim

Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time,
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know
