Description Unknown 2015-11-02 12:44:37 UTC

Looking at journalctl -f while using KDE Telepathy I see a new line appears on each key stroke in the chat window. Additional messages are logged when opening a chat window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run journalctl -f in a console
2. Open a chat window and start typing
3. See what happens in the console

Actual Results:  
Every key stroke is logged.

Expected Results:  
No key strokes should be logged. Also I don't see why opening a chat window should be.

I will mark this as critical because I see it as a big privacy issue.

I can't see anything. What version?

Comment 2 Unknown 2015-11-02 13:23:03 UTC

That's rather old.
It's not in the newer builds.

Also as for your "bug". 
open kdebugdialog and turn off debug for ktp-text-ui

Comment 4 Unknown 2015-11-02 13:29:09 UTC

How do I open this dialog? I have no package called kdedebug dialog. Please explain.

Also why should that be turned off additionally if it is a setting? In other words - why is it on by default?

Comment 5 Unknown 2015-11-02 13:31:34 UTC

Correction: I opened kdebugdialog and I see the "Disable all debug output" checkbox is ON. Shouldn't that mean no debug at all? Then why am I seeing messages in journal?

Comment 6 Unknown 2015-11-02 13:34:44 UTC

If I uncheck the box there isn't ktp-text-ui. And even if I uncheck Telepathy-QT and click Apply - the info still gets in the journal.

Sorry for the fragmented messages. I hope you are getting them.

Comment 7 Martin Klapetek 2015-11-02 14:31:09 UTC

I have fixed printing incoming messages[1] into debug quite some time ago, but there are still some not overly useful debug lines left.

Please update to 15.08.x and verify it's gone; there won't be any other releases in the 0.9 branch.

How am I to do that? I am using the official openSUSE 13.2 repository and everything is up to date.

Comment 9 Martin Klapetek 2015-11-02 16:22:48 UTC

You'd have to find that out at your distro's forums/wikis, I do not know about openSuse, sorry.

It's part of KDE Applications 15.08 release.

Comment 10 Unknown 2015-11-02 16:26:08 UTC

Ok. I will try to find.

Just to clarify: Does that mean I should upgrade to Plasma 5 or is 15.08 part of KDE4?

Comment 11 Martin Klapetek 2015-11-02 17:57:45 UTC

You should be able to use 15.08 with Plasma 4, but I believe the level of testing this combination receives is not very much. So upgrade to Plasma 5 is recommended.

Comment 12 Unknown 2015-11-02 17:59:51 UTC

Thank you Martin!

Comment 13 Unknown 2015-11-04 17:24:47 UTC

Upgraded to Plasma 5.4.2 (openSUSE Leap 42.1) - telepathy doesn't even connect to Google account (Jabber).
