Screenshot of KCM wizard for Skype

I experience the same problem. It would be great if someone could fix it. Thanks

AFAIK skype through telepathy and libpurple has no configuration options.

Tasks:
 - not show the advanced button, when there are no advanced options
 - copy and paste the text from Kopete to explain how to use it, and possibly steal the button to launch skype.
 - check it works (assigning to Martin)

Please revert the last patch, since it is wrong (check the screenshot).
The problem is in your system configuration, not in the kcm

Hi Daniele

Could you tell us what we have to change in our system configuration to make skype, Haze and Telepathy work nicely together?

Thanks a lot

Johannes

If you are using debian (or similar), you just need to install the following packages:

libpurple0 (2.10.4-1.1)
pidgin-skype (20110407+svn628+dfsg-1)
telepathy-haze (0.6.0-1)
skype (2.2.0.35-1)

and obviously ktp-common-internals and ktp-accounts-kcm

I have no idea on other systems.

Thanks a lot

I've got Archlinux and I had to install skype4empathy instead of skype4pidgin which somehow didn't work.

It worked after a restart.

Unfortunately the status of the skype account is always "Connecting..." and doesn't switch to Available. Do you experience the same behaviour?

*** Bug 302105 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Please update http://userbase.kde.org/Telepathy with any additional steps/info.

Can you also add any output of:
qdbus org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.ListProtocols 

and send us that

along with:
qdbus org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.GetParameters <name-of-skype-protocol>

and whether it works for you or not.

The first command does not list anything which sounds related to the skype protocol:

mbpurple-twitter
somsaks-twitter
gadugadu
zephyr
groupwise
icq
mxit
local-xmpp
msn-pecan
aim
mbpurple-identica
msn
sametime
myspace
irc
facebook
mbpurple-laconica
jabber
yahoo
sip
yahoojp

Even though it is listed in the list of protocols in the accounts manager and pidgin-skype is installed.

Hi David

Thanks for your reply!!!

Here is my output:

qdbus org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.ListProtocols

gadugadu
bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus

yahoo
yahoojp


qdbus org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.GetParameters bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus

qdbus: I don't know how to display an argument of type 'a(susv)', run with --literal.

qdbus org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.GetParameters bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus --literal

Invalid number of parameters


I hope this helps...

Thanks guys!

Task 1) we need to fix skype appearing in the M.Wege's situation. Where skype isn't available according to the connection manager and as such we shouldn't list it.
This bug will from now on be tracked here in a clean bug report with less noise.

Back to Johannes.
Does the accounts module look ok to you?

If not please try:

qdbus --literal org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.ListProtocols 
{"mbpurple-twitter", "somsaks-twitter", "gadugadu", "zephyr", "groupwise", "icq", "mxit", "local-xmpp", "msn-pecan", "aim", "mbpurple-identica", "msn", "sametime", "myspace", "irc", "mbpurple-laconica", "jabber", "yahoo", "sip", "yahoojp"}

If you still have the "connecting" issue, lets sort that out. We'll sort that out here.

You should pass --literal as the first argument to qdbus, i.e. right after "qdbus":

qdbus --literal org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.GetParameters bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus

@George: Thanks for the hint...

qdbus --literal org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.GetParameters bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus

[Argument: a(susv) {[Argument: (susv) "account", 1, "s", [Variant(QString): ""]], [Argument: (susv) "skypeout-online", 4, "b", [Variant(bool): true]], [Argument: (susv) "skype-sync", 4, "b", [Variant(bool): true]], [Argument: (susv) "reject-all-auths", 4, "b", [Variant(bool): false]], [Argument: (susv) "skype-autostart", 4, "b", [Variant(bool): true]], [Argument: (susv) "skype-path", 0, "s", [Variant(QString): ""]]}]

qdbus --literal org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.ListProtocols

I think the account module look good but sometimes I've got the feeling that haze breaks and than icq and skype don't even try to connect. Than I have to restart to get it working again....

I think it somehow cannot find the skype path...

[Argument: (susv) "skype-path", 0, "s", [Variant(QString): ""]]

Hello

I got it working.

After I deinstalled skype4empathy and installed skype4pidgin-svn-dbus it worked like a charm. Both packages are located in AUR.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thanks a lot for the help
