[opensuse] How to add contacts in Kopete?
Greetings. Kopete 0.12.3 (Under KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.4" openSUSE 10.2) I think I have set up Kopete right with my own ICQ UIN and ICQ password. Trying to do what the Kopete handbook says, does not work for me. I try File -> Add contact and select my own ICQ UIN (the only thing available under File -> Add contact) Kopete displays a window where I can enter my friend's ICQ UIN. I enter the UIN and press the OK button, and the window closes, so I am back in the main window. But I can not see my newly added contact anywhere. I show both offline users and empty groups, but my main window is just all empty. Any help?

Why is it all of my programs that are causing problems today :)? You are online, aren't you? (You will get an error message if you try to add contacts in ICQ whilst offline). Are you able to see the newly added contact using a different ICQ client? Are you able to add this UIN with a different client? Are you able to add a different UIN as a contact? What happens if you add the contact to a different group, or to the top level? Do you have a LOT of contacts in your list?

The little flower at the lower right corner says I am online.
Are you able to see the newly added contact using a different ICQ client?
I don't have any other clients installed. I would like to be able to use what was installed by default, so I don't end up with too many redundant programs installed, that I do not use.
Are you able to add this UIN with a different client?
Se above.
Are you able to add a different UIN as a contact?
No.
What happens if you add the contact to a different group, or to the top level?
The same -- nothing.
Do you have a LOT of contacts in your list?
I have no contacts at all. This is the first contact one I am trying to add. Thank you very much for your suggestions Will. Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello Johnny I actually don´t use ICQ, but could it be that your friend is not online ? There is a button "show offline Users", possibly you have to use this. If you want, you can add me, i´m online right now and would like to see if or how it works... 206381538 Micha -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I would not rule that out, but it was my understanding that if my friend is offline, his entry in my contacts would just signal "Offline". Isn't that one of the points with the IM system?

I have made sure that Kopete shows offline users.

[Kopete will not add ICQ contact to new ICQ account]
I just found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/111634 That is my exact problem! I can not find a similar bug report with either KDE or openSUSE. Does anyone know a workaround, or have suggestions for workarounds?

How about trying licq (from Packman) or gaim ? Micha -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Or pidgin, the successor to gaim. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you Michael and Pueblo, for your suggestions on licq and Gaim/Pidgin. Before I try that though, would anyone perhaps be so helpful as to post the structure of an ICQ entry from their contactlist.xml file? (On 10.2 it is placed in ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete/) If the only problem for Kopete is that it can not add an ICQ contact, unless there is already one or more ICQ contacts in the contact list, perhaps one can fool Kopete by manually entering the first ICQ contact into contactlist.xml Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
