the capability not available and account errors which happens way too often, has a horrible and annoying sound, please select a milder tone and suppress these messages http://wstaw.org/m/2012/11/11/plasma-desktopFBL584.png Reproducible: Always
No. We should fix the source of the issue, and not bodge round it. To help, could you please run ktp-debugger just after you see this message, and copy and paste the output in the "mission-control" and "gabble" tabs.
Note that you need to run ktp-debugger from master or kde-telepathy-0.5 branch (it's in ktp-common-internals), otherwise the debugger is not very well usable.
there are 2 issues here, the frequent pop up errors and the 2nd is the really horrible audible error sound. I will definitely try to run the debugger for error issue, but the sound it way to harsh and would probably drive people to disable it.
That's your sound scheme :) You can change the notification sound in System Settings -> Application and System notifications -> in Event Source set Instant Messaging -> Instant Messaging error -> uncheck the "sound" ;)
Fixing the frequency of this bug is being discussed at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310002. That has steps to reproduce, explanation of what's wrong, and plans towards fixing. This bug can stay on being about the sound. We use the default sound "KDE-im-cant-connect" from the sound theme, which given the cause our code is doing everything absolutely right. However, I do agree with you that it is a bit over-the-top for something as minor as going offline. If you want to file a bug on the KDE sounds, and then mark this as blocking against that bug, please do so.
The current sound theme in KDE is extremely harsh for IM related notifications. Is there any plans to create a milder theme? Could a sound theme be incorporated from kde-look.org?
