Description Torn Hoopoe 2009-12-02 03:38:56 UTC

Version:           0.80.2 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6", openSUSE 11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-default

When trying to login to yahoo with kopete, after becoming online and receiving the contact-list, Kopete freezes and shows a dialog named (Yahoo Plugin). And making it impossible to use Kopete and all other applications, it also making the whole system to freeze and hang up and nothing could resolve the problem to rollback the control over the system.

note: I tried to wait for a long time for the desktop to become usable or just to kill the Kopete process, but it did not work for me.
I did that many times and every time the whole system (All applications launched, such as Firefox, Konqueror, Dolphin, the KDE , and everything) become an available and hangs up.
The only way to back the control over the system is by killing the graphical system by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.

Loaded plugins:
History
Preview of Pictures in Chats


thanks for your time and have A lot of Fun :D

kind regards,

Torn Hoopoe

Hello from the KDE Bugsquad!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued the Yahoo Messenger service, and the code has been removed from Kopete.

Thus, I am closing this bug as "UNMAINTAINED" since it will no longer be fixable, or able to operate due to Yahoo.
