[kopete] Can't connect to icq anymore

Hi,
Since yesterday i suddenly can't connect to icq anymore. Anyone else with this problem?
It keeps asking me for the password. (i'm sure it is correct)
Running the normal icq client under windows, everything works fine.
any idea's? Tnx :wink:

regards, steve

a rash thing to try would be renaming the folder

$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kopete

but remember you will have to do all your kopete config again. At least this will tell you if it is a set-up issue or perhaps something more.

I have exactly the same problem actually. It was working fine for me before I went to bed, then when I logged on the next morning I got an error that said:

Generic Packet error: Service unavailable

After that it kept asking for my password and giving me the same error when I tried to log on. Don't bother renaming/deleting that directory, didn't work for me. Same problem and now I have redo my settings. LICQ and ICQ under Windows both work fine though.

[kopete] problems connecting icq

Hi :-)

Same problem with kopete and icq ... maybe they changed their protocol?

... I started icq2go and had some problem with connect ... hope it works again soon ...

yeps exactly the same error here.
Tried on my second system and it also gave the same error.
I hope someone comes with a solution for this, because i don't like running different clients for IM

same problem here... since yesterday...
hope it will works soon again...
Gentoo Linux System... no other IM to test...

best regards Tastenguru

edit: want to uninstall kopete from my gentoo system for testing if a new installation helps... but I can't find the paket to uninstall...emerge -Cp kopete says: no pakage... emerge -s kopete says: no kopete installed... but it is here... very strange...

I have the same problem - but only on one of my two gentoo machines. Both running the same Kopete (0.8.2) version. Strange...

On top of the page it reads like to bug is fixed... but I can't see any solution.. any patch or something?

same problem here, only since today, no apparent library change or sth (however i use gentoo and could have overlooked a package on emerge world)
licq works.
icq2go a bit...

no idea, want to cry.

(kde 3.2.3)

kopete has been merged into kdenetwork, thus that package should be the one. however i tried that and it did not help.

it seems that this problem is somehow related to requesting offline messages and a recent minor protocol change brought this about.

i have the same problem
$ kopete -v
Qt: 3.2.3
KDE: 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204
Kopete: 0.8.3

Just to test, I signed up for a new icq account. The new one works, but my old one does not... However, both work in gaim. I also changed the password on the old account and deleted kopeterc to start fresh...no luck.

09/07/2004 - ICQ fix in CVS
A small change to ICQ servers this week broke Kopete's ICQ connectivity. A fix is in the CVS version on Kopete; if you're not familiar with building software from CVS, stand by for updated binaries from your distribution.
See ya, Darken

I had the same problem.

If you don't care for the IRC support. removing irc from SUBDIRS in kopete/protocols/Makefile.am fixes it.

I also got erros on Gadu removing $(GADU) took care of that.
