Description Eloi 2011-11-13 21:42:14 UTC

Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Since a few days Kopete is unable to connect to my WLM account, it stucks on "Connecting" although the icon is colorized as connected. I have created a new testing account and although it appeared as "connected", after adding the first contact and reconnecting the same behaviour happens.

As for Debian bug report #648080 on package kmess (another WLM client), WLM servers may respond to the contact list petition with a redirect, whih broke that software. As an empty buddy list does not stall Kopete on connecting status, I suspect the cause may be the same.

Debian bug on kmess: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648080

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Connect to any WLM account with at least one contact.

Actual Results:  
Stalls at "Connecting...", does not complete login.

Expected Results:  
Successfully logging in and allow chatting.

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-1-686-pae
Compiler: gcc

I have the same problem.

OpenSUSE 11.4
KDE 4.7

Comment 2 mickey mouse 2011-11-14 10:22:05 UTC

Same problem here.

Fedora 16 (x86_64)
KDE 4.7.3

Additional info:
I cannot see my contact list, the status of my account remains "connecting", but when I receive emails on that account the standard popup "new email from <address>" is shown on desktop. This means (I think) that connection is estabilished, but for some reason the contact list cannot be downloaded.

Comment 3 mickey mouse 2011-11-14 10:27:18 UTC

another note: my kopete version is 1.1.3

$ kopete --version
Qt: 4.8.0
Piattaforma di sviluppo KDE: 4.7.3 (4.7.3)
Kopete: 1.1.3


sorry for double post...

Just found bug #285803 reporting the same issue.

Sorry for the noise.
