Description Rachel Campbell 2007-05-29 18:39:19 UTC
Version:           0.12.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I have verified that the contacts with no photos displaying for me have, in fact, set photos on their end. Some contact photos display, and some do not. In my situation, it appears that AIM and Yahoo are affected. So far, all MSN contact photos have displayed. The issue is not just contained to the contact list; contact photos that are missing in the contact list do no appear in chat windows either.

Also, at least in Yahoo, the contact photo I have set for myself does not display for the person on the other end of my IM conversation.

I am using the default installation of Kopete from the kubuntu-desktop package. I haven't changed styles. Plugins used are History, Now Listening, and Web Presence.

I would be happy to provide more information if needed. I'm just not sure what all you need. Thank you.

Screenshot of missing contact photos on Kopete contact list

As you can see in the screenshot, contact photos for the users "day..." and
"JSn..." do not display. These two users do have contact photos set on their
end. My Yahoo contact with no photo was not online at the time, unfortunately,
but it is the same situation.
Comment 2 Roman Jarosz 2007-11-11 16:48:07 UTC
The AIM photo problem is fixed in trunk and will be in KDE 4.0 see bug 110550.

I'm changing this to yahoo, because I don't know if it's fixed there.
Comment 3 DjDarkman 2007-12-19 15:33:50 UTC
Same thing happens here in the KDE 4 rc2 version 0.40.3 of kopete imho it should be given a high priority.
Comment 4 David 2008-01-16 18:54:06 UTC
In KDE4 there are no MSN photos/avatars.

In Kopete (KDE4), avatars are correctly showed for Jabber protocol but doesn't appear at all for MSN protocol.

I also have the same problem in one of my machines running kopete 0.12.7 and MSN account. Both machines have the same version.
Jabber seems to be working fine but I have only a few contacts.
Comment 11 mvb 2008-05-28 18:21:17 UTC
Just went from old kopete (forgot version) to new.
Old kopete was OK.  But now with the KDE4 version no way any avatars appear.  I have only Yahoo Messenger contacts.
I did check the box Settings -> Configure ... -> Contact List -> Use contact photos when available.
Platform:
Debian Lenny (Testing), with KDE4 + Kopete from experimental.  Kopete Version 0.50.50, Using KDE 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1)

Perhaps also see helpful information in the corresponding Ubuntu report for their Bug 183390:

Comment 13 Chris Fordham 2008-06-04 13:02:10 UTC
I confirm this bug as well. Please make it a high priority so Kopete is currently useable for the most popular IM protocol!
Comment 14 Antonio Bulgheroni 2008-06-05 22:51:06 UTC
Just to confirm as well
Comment 15 Roman Jarosz 2008-06-05 23:22:04 UTC
I can't reproduce it in MSN with latest Windows Live Messenger. Could you post the version of Messenger that the other person uses and also it would be great if you could send me the image which isn't displayed.

Comment 22 Filipe Tavares 2008-08-26 23:42:14 UTC
Seems to be fixed for MSN on version 0.50.80 :)
Comment 23 Cristi 2008-08-26 23:43:47 UTC
still waiting on yahoo
Comment 24 Jack Black 2008-09-12 14:47:00 UTC
I don't see my own avatar in Jabber chat windows but the one form my buddy is there. But it shows mine in ICQ chat whereas the one from my buddy is not. Its like vice versa. The same is for the contactlist. On his Jabber account entry I can see the avatar but not on his ICQ account in my list (its always the same person, with one ICQ and one Jabber account). I'm using Version 0.60.1 and my buddy the latest pidgin messenger.
Comment 25 Aniket 2008-10-26 23:16:31 UTC
I can confirm this bug with latest packages from Fedora. Kopete 0.60.2 . The yahoo buddy icons are missing . Jabber/Gtalk is fine. 
Comment 26 Vlad Lungeanu 2008-11-13 13:07:08 UTC
Still here for the Yahoo protocol in KDE 4.1.3 (Kopete 0.60.3, Kubuntu 8.10) The Jabber/Gmail protocol seems fine.
Comment 27 DjDarkman 2008-11-13 19:58:01 UTC
I compiled the whole KDE4 from the SVN and the contact photos seem to be working.
Comment 28 tuan pham 2008-11-28 04:50:35 UTC

it cannot show avatar on my version too
Comment 29 Jithin Emmanuel 2009-02-03 04:58:24 UTC
The problem still exists in kde 4.2 using kubuntu. Is the Yahoo plugin maintained at all.

I don't think anyone's maintaining it at the moment.  The latest Yahoo won't share video or files with it either.  C'est la vie.
