Description Stephan Sokolow 2009-05-10 06:27:55 UTC

Version:           0.70.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7-20080501

On my Kopete setup, Winpopup support is non-functional (the icon in the contact list statusbar stays grayed and I don't receive messages) despite my having followed all of the instructions given.

There was one login session when, inexplicably, the icon un-grayed, so I know that's supposed to happen, but I've never been able to duplicate it.

The bug I'm reporting here is Kopete's lack of troubleshooting information. It just silently fails without any information on what went wrong. Even without suggestions for fixing the problem, that'd really help.

Put another way (the way I phrased it on my bug reporting TODO list), either Kopete should explain why I can never seem to go online with Winpopup so I can fix it or it shouldn't have actually gone online that one time so I could potentially remain blissfully ignorant of it being broken.

I have same problem.
I change line with security in /etc/samba/smb.conf to:
security = share
After restart PC winpopup go online

The problem is if you have other line security (f.e security = user) program "smbclient -N -g -L localhost" has no output line with "SERVER|PC_NAME|PC_DESCRIPTION" and this plugin use this line. If it doesnt exist, winpopup is in offline mode.

I fix some bug, when winpopup cant go online. Check version from trunk, if winpopup now works.
