Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Compiler: GCC 4.0.3 OS: Linux I have three accounts configured - ICQ, MSN and Jabber (from google). Every time I fire kopete up there are two more added automatically. Also, both of them pop up a request for password (because I never configured a password for them). A picture of this behavior: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7230/emptyaccvk4.png
I just upgraded recently from 3.5.3 to 3.5.4 (gentoo linux), and this behaviour started happening with Kopete for all our users with Jabber accounts. You can remove the "EMPTY@" account, but it gets autocreated again next time Kopete is launched. The only fix seems to be to rm -rf .kde/share/apps/kopete, and rm .kde/share/config/kopeterc and recreate your accounts. What a pain!
Out of question. I am not going to delete my whole log folder along with this. Besides that this was the initial setup. Did not use kopete before.
What does your .kde/share/config/kopeterc contains for theses accounts ?
What does your .kde/share/config/kopeterc contains for theses accounts ? And does appears in the debug output chan you start kopete (and thioses account are create) Or does any reference to theses account is in the contactlist.xml file ?
I indeed had the two extra accounts configured in kopeterc: [Account_JabberProtocol_EMPTY] AccountId=EMPTY@ AutoConnect=true Password= PluginData_JabberProtocol_Server= Protocol=JabberProtocol [Account_MSNProtocol_EMPTY] AccountId=EMPTY AutoConnect=true Password= Protocol=MSNProtocol Removing these blocks stoped kopete from creating the accounts every startup, or in other words, solved the issue.
I can't reproduce this with Kopete 0.12.5. If you can provide exact instructions on how we might be able to reproduce this bug, please reopen it. For the record, I added a Jabber account along with AIM and MSN that I had already previously configured, connected it, disconnected it, and then restarted Kopete.
Maybe I have an idea to reproduce the bug. I have an empty msn account while à delete all the cached files in my user folder. (I deleted all /home/user) And after a restart, kopete asked me for the password of an empty account everytime I started it. I tried to reinstall kopete, but no effets. Maybe it's the way to reproduce the bug...
