Do you have telepathy-auth-handler installed?

There is no such package available from there: ppa:telepathy-kde/daily-builds
But I will check whether it is available on my Plasma-Active Tablet, as there I have the very same problem.

The daily builds are currently broken and I'm afraid you need this package to make it work.

There should be some openSUSE daily builds (if you're running PA on top of it), which should work just fine.

I checked the kde-telepathy website (http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Packaging_Guide#Experimental_Components) and saw some other dependencies, that are not met in my Kubuntu Oneiric. Do you think it is worth to post the ppa-maintainer of the daily builds?

Not sure if it is related, but I cannot connect either. I only tried Jabber and I have telepathy-auth-handler installed from Git.

Started on a terminal it says:

telepathy-kde-contactlist(9102) MainWidget::onAccountConnectionStatusChanged: Connection status is 1
telepathy-kde-contactlist(9102) MainWidget::monitorPresence:
telepathy-kde-contactlist(9102) MainWidget::onAccountConnectionStatusChanged: Connection status is 2

Does not look too helpful, but maybe you can see something essential missing, or so?

Which Gabble version are you using?

0.13.7

Ok, I'll need some more debug.

Please disconnect all your accounts, close contact list and check if there is no process telepathy-gabble running. Then open a terminal and type this:

GABBLE_PERSIST=1 GABBLE_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/telepathy-gabble

In case that says that the file does not exist, you have to find the correct telepathy-gabble path (might be /usr/bin or /usr/lib) and use that path with the command above.

Then open up the contact list and try connecting your jabber account (if possible just one). After it fails, copy the output and create an attachment here (don't use pastebins).

Also check if the log does not contain any sensitive data, if so, remove them ;)

I do not have that file, so I used the closest I could find.

% GABBLE_PERSIST=1 GABBLE_DEBUG=all /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-gabble

Oops, ok, here is the output of telepathy-contact-list:

telepathy-kde-contactlist(16258) GlobalPresence::onCurrentPresenceChanged: Current presence changed

telepathy-kde-contactlist(16258) MainWidget::monitorPresence:

So, still the same.

I actually need the gabble output after you try to connect. Sorry if I didn't make it clear :)

So please run it again and then include the whole telepathy-gabble output. Thanks.

Ok, sorry, Gabble ran in another tab so I did not notice its output.

Ok, I have an idea now. Do you have telepathy-auth-handler installed in your own prefix? Or the standard /usr?

These packages are installed from Debian packages:
gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12
libtelepathy-farsight0
libtelepathy-glib0
telepathy-gabble
telepathy-mission-control-5

The following packages are compiled into an own prefix:
telepathy-auth-handler
telepathy-kded-module
telepathy-qt4
telepathy-contact-list
telepathy-presence-applet
telepathy-accounts-kcm
telepathy-filetransfer-handler
telepathy-presence-dataengine
telepathy-text-ui

is there anywhere a good description how to compile all these packages by his own?

(In reply to comment #14)

 Ok, then check your custom prefix for share/dbus-1/* files and copy/link them to /usr/share/dbus-1/ and it should start working immediately.

The problem is that these are dbus activation files and dbus cannot find them and thus won't run the necessary services. You wouldn't be able to chat too, btw.

See http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Getting_Set_Up

There is also a script for automated setup. While compiling your own stuff, please beware the dbus files mentioned in previous comment.

If with "immediately" you mean "after a KDE restart", then yes. :)

I thought a /etc/dbus-1/session.local.conf with the following content would also do the trick, but it seems it does not. :(

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
        <servicedir>/home/fs/usr/share/dbus-1/services/</servicedir>
</busconfig>


Thanks for your help.

Anytime :)

Robby, did you manage to solve your connection problems as well?

I had no time to give it a real try. I tried the script from the page you pointed my at, but there are some dependencies missing, that I could not find (telepathy-glib and another other one, in order to compile telepathy-qt4).
I am thinking of waiting until the ppa works again for ubuntu. For my PA-Wetab I did not check up to now. I will let you know here...

thanx for the advices :-)

Ok, I'm closing this bug now as it may be safely assumed, you had the same problem with auth-handler.

If this problem persist, feel free to reopen this bug or join #kde-telepathy on irc.freenode.net and we'll help you set up.

As for the ICQ issue, that's a different one and I think it should be solved in the latest code. If you'll see this problem too, please file a separate bug report.

Thanks :)
