[gentoo-user] Kopete and a pesky pop-up then it disconnects.

[gentoo-user] Kopete and a pesky pop-up then it disconnects.

[Dale]

Hi,

I mentioned this a while back in another thread.  Now it is even worse. 
When I tell Kopete to make me "online" with Yahoo, I get a pop-up that
says I am using a old version of Yahoo messenger.  If I close the
message box, it throws me offline.  Basically, I can't stay online with
Kopete and Yahoo anymore.

Info for kopete:

As you can see, I'm still on KDE 3.5.  I'm just not ready for KDE 4
yet.  If I filed a roach report, would it be fixed?  Is there something
that I can do here to make this boo boo message go away and me stay
online?  Maybe another port or something?

Ideas?

We had the very same topic a short while ago. I have the same popup, though I 
get connected nonetheless. I don't get the popup with kopete 4.

Very unlikely, as all KDE3 stuff is practically dead. :'-(

Use an alternative. :-/

Can you check and see if Kopete for KDE4 is using port 5050 and
scs.msg.yahoo.com for the address?  I'm hoping that they have changed
the port number or address as part of the change and MAYBE I can fool it
into thinking I'm up to date.  I'm not holding my breath tho.  ;-)

Thanks.  Mine was grayed out to but I changed them to what you have and
it still does the same thing.  So, I guess Yahoo is no more for me until
I KDE4 is ready to go.

You could use Pidgin, or just try updating kopete by itself (and its
dependant libs, of course). If KDE3 is in its down directory, then this
shouldn't be hard to do.

Here's a little update.  Yahoo won't even let me sign in anymore.  It
just sits there.

By Yahoo.

Here too. So either switch to an alternative, to Kopete:4 or let them suckers 
be. I don't bother, for my main network is still ICQ. Quoting Jonathan 
Callen, KDE4 is in the process of becoming stable "Real Soon Now™."

Then why don't you use its Kopete? Granted, there are still bits and pieces 
missing from the good'ole KDE3, but it also has some nice new things.

I tried to use it but it won't open in KDE3 for some reason. It spins
its wheels for a bit then nothing. It doesn't appear to even try to
open. I figure it is not set up to work in KDE3.

I guess you'll have to run it at least once from a KDE4 session, for instance 
so it can setup password management with KWallet. I can run KDE4 apps in 
KDE4, Actually Krusader launches Krename:4 now when I select multiple files 
for renaming. Kopete works with no problem.

I upgraded KDE 4 yesterday and I have been playing with it a little. 
Kopete works in KDE 4 at least.

Will it be fixed? Maybe, maybe not.

A quick Googling and search of KDE's bugzilla shows that even the KDE
4.3 version of Kopete is failing to connect to Yahoo Messenger (for at
least some people who filed bugs).

I myself use Pidgin and it connects to Yahoo just fine.
