Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Matt,

At http://mattr.info:8080/blog/2009/06/24/kopete-and-yahoo/
you mentioned that the fix was in for Kopete Yahoo Plugin and that the same was backported to the 4.3 branch.

Well, right now I'm on 4.3 RC3 and I still can't login into Yahoo account with Kopete. I am currently using Pidgin for Yahoo, and it works.

Filing a bug as you had requested.

Comment 1 Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2009-08-13 09:48:14 UTC

I noticed that scsa.msg.yahoo.com resolves to different hosts in different locations.

Here, in Bangalore - India, it resolves to:
rrs@champaran:~$ ping scsa.msg.yahoo.com
PING scsa.msg.yahoo.com (68.180.217.19) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from cs114.msg.sp1.yahoo.com (68.180.217.19): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=338 ms
64 bytes from cs114.msg.sp1.yahoo.com (68.180.217.19): icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=332 ms


Where as in my server in San Diego:
rrs@web1:~$ ping scsa.msg.yahoo.com
PING scsa.msg.yahoo.com (76.13.15.39) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from cs111.msg.ac4.yahoo.com (76.13.15.39): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=77.7 ms
64 bytes from cs111.msg.ac4.yahoo.com (76.13.15.39): icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=78.7 ms


Is there a way to check the version of the messenger server ?

But using the other server also didn't help.

Comment 3 Markus Brueffer 2009-08-26 20:32:15 UTC

Doesn't work here as well on FreeBSD and KDE 4.3.0. I get an error message: "17: remote host closed connection". It works fine though on my mac and adium using the same account.

I am not having trouble connecting to my yahoo account via the win32 version of 'pidgin'.

Comment 6 Akshay Dewan 2009-12-16 16:19:47 UTC

I can confirm that Kopete is not able to connect to Yahoo. I'm using Kopete Version 0.80.2 (KDE 4.3.4)

This is the output I get when trying to connect to Yahoo:
Object::connect: No such signal ClientStream::disconnected()
Object::connect:  (receiver name: 'yahooclient')
Transfer ACCEPTED by: LoginTask
Transfer ACCEPTED by: LoginTask

Comment 7 AndFed 2010-01-16 23:25:15 UTC

I have same issue with kopete:
Version 0.80.2
Using KDE 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
-----
Object::connect: No such signal ClientStream::disconnected()
Object::connect:  (receiver name: 'yahooclient')
Transfer ACCEPTED by: LoginTask
Transfer ACCEPTED by: LoginTask
------------

I noticed strange behavior, kopete worked before, but after some soft update it doesn't. After research I found that switched on proxy, "Manual" option, breaks yahoo connection. When I switch off proxy in konqueror - yahoo connects again.
Checked several times the behavior.
---------
Konqueror
Version 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1)
Using KDE 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)

Comment 8 Matt Rogers 2010-01-17 04:15:29 UTC

Kopete has no support for proxies whatsoever, so you're on your own basically and your milage may vary. I can't reproduce this with the upcoming KDE 4.4 release.
