hey guys im running KDE 3.1 and i cant seem to locate the console,
i tried typing xterm in the run command and that worked fine. trouble is it doesnt work to well if u have lost the onscreen keyboard, which is the main thing im trying to find. loging off and back on seems abit drastic just to get ur keyboard back. a couple of other ?'s, I cant seem to connect to the hotmail email severs with either the webrowsers or the email clients,
same goes for yahoo mail and yahoo search results wont show, google works fine so its kinda wierd. the web browsers wont even load http://www.hotmail.com , any help would be much apreciated thx

The terminal in kde is called kterm
There is a shortcut to get your keyboard back on the kde menu

as root:

Code: Select all

emerge -u gaim

you can get version 0.91 of amsn one of two ways
the old way is to do

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge amsn

The new way was introduced in portage-2.0.50 so make sure you have at least that version. Then

Code: Select all

mkdir /etc/portage
echo net-im/amsn\ ~x86 >> package.keywords
emerge amsn

now when you update your system with emerge -uD world amsn will upgrade to the latest version marked ~x86 in portage.
