With kopete , i created my accounts , but it own't connect any of my accounts . I have defined my proxy information in konqueror , but still it own't connect. ot Please , anyone give suggestions to resolve this problem ?
I am agree with you , but all these years , i am using SLES as desktop product. This allows me to learn server applications as well as using that OS as desktop by installing missing desktop applications like office, messenger, music/movie players. But with SLES10, most of the desktop unpopular applications are present. So, instead of installing missing popular desktop applications, i want to use existing unpopular applications for desktop purpose. So , in this regard, i am experiencing some issues with kopete messenger and juk .
simple enough: don't use SLES. SLES = suse linux enterprise SERVER. not intended for desktop use.
now, in case you meant to type SLED which is in fact for desktop use, it has the same problems as suse linux since quite a few years, which is that they ship without MP3 support because they're afraid of some patent issues around the MP3 codec.
If you'd installed suse linux 10.0 or 10.1 instead of SLED10 you could just use the packman repository and get mp3 support, and use the kde buildtree repository and get kde 3.5.5 which contains a version of kopete that DOES work with ICQ, even after they changed their protocol again to get rid of 3rd party clients.
But with SLED10, using any unofficial installation sources would most likely void your maintenance contract...
