Description Tilman Klaeger 2008-07-01 17:45:08 UTC
Version:           0.12.7 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-Version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to connect to the ICQ Server, I get the message with the information, that my client is to old and that I have to fill a bugreport for this. I assume that ICQ changed something on their servers, since there was no problem before, I could connect just a couple hours ago. I did not change anything since then.

same here (debian + fluxbox), licq and gaim don't connect either. some fixes, yet?
Comment 18 Ralph Müller-Welt 2008-07-01 19:24:12 UTC
Bug confirmed on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 (Qt: 3.3.8b, KDE: 3.5.9, Kopete: 0.12.7)
Linux 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:15:37 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But NOT on Kubunt Hardy 8.04 (Qt: 4.4.0, KDE: 4.00.83 (KDE 4.0.83 (KDE 4.1 Beta2), Kopete: 0.50.80)
Linux 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:15:37 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Comment 19 Hans-J. Ullrich 2008-07-01 19:42:38 UTC
Confirmed ! LICQ and some other clients do not work, too. We had had this problem ("bug") some times ago, when ICQ changed suddenly its protocol.

Kind regards

Hans

Can anybody tell me what to do?? i have the same problem...i use adium on my mac and it shows the same freaking error *_*
Comment 21 heinz 2008-07-01 19:49:18 UTC
same here on opensuse 10.3, kopete 0.12.6 kde 3.5.7 and kopete 0.50.1 kde 4.0.4 (see http://flat32.net/2008/07/01/kopete-does-not-connect-to-the-icq-server)
Comment 22 Daniel Mewes 2008-07-01 19:56:17 UTC
Last time this happened it was enough to just change the version information in kopete/protocols/oscar/liboscar/oscartypes.h (ICQ_MAJOR / ICQ_MINOR) as far as I remember. It could be possible however that more parts of the protocol are changed this time.
Unfortunately I don't have time to look into this today, but sniffing the version bytes in the packages of a the original windows ICQ client may or may not help for this. :-)
Comment 23 Ian Schwarz 2008-07-01 19:57:43 UTC
Yup, openSUSE 11.0 with Kopete 0.12.7 and 0.50.1 fails also.

1. Have patience, you are using a reverse-engineered protocol through an unsupported client, for which the owners (Mirabilis, then AOL) have never shown any good will to support third-party software. This situation is constantly imminent.

2. Switch to the open standard XMPP (Jabber, GoogleTalk) and try to convince your contacts to do the same. I'm using this as an opportunity to convince my last ICQ friends to make the switch.

Comment 26 Jan Ritzerfeld 2008-07-01 20:03:11 UTC
I can connect again with 0.12.7 after simply adding the default ICQ version from trunk to ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc:
[ICQVersion]
Build=0x17AB
ClientId=0x010A
ClientString=ICQ Client
Country=us
Lang=en
Major=0x0006

Comment 40 Sven Brauch 2008-07-01 21:10:28 UTC
Don´t get it working with this fix, what to do with the "code"? I just added it to the file you mentioned...
I get another error message, but still one (its just like "failed to login to icq")

what to do? ;)
Comment 41 Jan Mette 2008-07-01 21:10:43 UTC
Created attachment 25779 [details]

This patch fixes the icq login, thanks to g-hennux in #kde for the tip...
Tested and working for me :)

Greetings

Comment 42 Juliano F. Ravasi 2008-07-01 21:12:32 UTC
We found on IRC that Kopete 0.12.x seems to be trying to automatically update its own ICQ version information the first time it fails to login to ICQ servers, by downloading the file located at: http://kopete.kde.org/oscarversions.xml

Unfortunately, that address is returning HTTP 404 error... it was deleted.

Someone with proper rights to upload to kopete.kde.org could rehost the file, with the right version information, and this problem will automatically be solved for everyone.
