Anyone using ICQ messaging with Kopete? How?

#1 Post by LPC11 »

I set up an ICQ account and followed the instructions posted here: https://userbase.kde.org/Kopete/ICQ/con ... ugh_kopete but the program insists I have the wrong password (even though it has been verified as correct; the password correctly logs you onto the ICQ website).

I am using all of the standard settings as shown on the help page.

Can anyone confirm an issue with ICQ and Kopete?

I haven't used kopete and right now all I can get is a blank page from the link because I am not using a system with browser that can pass the jsTest.html

In general, I have not found the kde userbase or their forum to be much help at all. It's a big mess of "what version" with no clear way to separate the old from the new.

Unfortunately, the kde help center included with stretch isn't all that current either, but you might check there,for accurate Kopete information. Anything that has to do with passwords probably needs the wallet setup correctly, I have made it that far.

Stick with it, probably something simple. Did you use
$ gpg --quick-generate-key yourname
and setup kwallet?
