- KVIrc seems to have problems with looking up server hostnames.

- DNS queries always fail with an error.

A: KVIrc uses threads to perform asynchronous DNS calls.

You may try to force synchronous (blocking) calls by enabling
98

the "Force synchronous DNS calls" option in the server options dialog.

106
106
(and similar questions)
108
108
A: The current IRC protocol implementation has major problems
157
157
Each character is mapped to a digit in range [0-255].
158
158
The characters from 0 to 127 are (usually) standardized;
159
159
this range is called the ASCII subset (ASCII character -> 7-bits).
160
So for example the digit 32 rappresents a 'space' character,
161
65 rappresents an 'A' , 98 rappresents a 'b'.
160
So for example the digit 32 represents a 'space' character,
161
65 represents an 'A' , 98 represents a 'b'.
162
162
Since 255 numbers are not enough to rappresent all the possible
163
163
characters used in the world , the digits from
164
164
128 to 255 are mapped in different ways, depending
215
215
Windows Cyryllic charset, you can map Windows->KOI8R when receiving and KOI8R->Windows
216
216
when sending. In this case the correct font to use is the one with the KOI8R charset,
217
217
even if others are "speaking" by using the Windows charset.

- Finding more info:

As said before , it is just a matter of using a search engine.

At plugin load time kvirc complain this message on stderr:

undefined symbol: gtk_widget_destroy

A: This seems to be a problem in libxmms from the rpm installation packet.
240
240
Recompiling and installing xmms from sources seems solve the problem,
241
However , you may also try to reinstall xmms from original bin rpm's
