 Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 5:41 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] kopete 3.5.9 "icq client too old" |
 |
|
Any Kopete users out there suddenly start seeing this message when trying to connect to ICQ this morning/today:
"The server thinks the ICQ client you are using is too old"
Wondering whether anyone knows if this is going to be a general problem for all the linux/free icq clients for a short time, or if someone can recommend me another client to use until this has been fixed in kopete.
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved, most excellent:

I'm getting this too (for Kopete).
Licq says: "Unknown sign on error: 0x1C"

Confirmed (Kopete 3.5.9). Seems AOL is pushing ICQ6, so we have to wait for updated versions of our clients.
In the meantime I use the web interface (icq2go)...

Yep -- looks like ICQ had a protocol bump today; other clients are probably experiencing the same issue.
Here's the bug report for kopete: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165502 |

Same for me (kopete 3.5.9).
A bug has already been filed at kde.org (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165502).
The solution described there works for me, too. Just add the following to your ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc :
| Code: |
[ICQVersion]
Build=0x17AB
ClientId=0x010A
ClientString=ICQ Client
Country=us
Lang=en
Major=0x0006
Minor=0x0000
Other=0x00007535
Point=0x0000

Same here... *argh* Why can't more people use Jabber? 
EDIT: @caspar: Thanks a lot! Now it works fine again!  That's why I love these forums - as soon as you have a problem there's always someone who already has a solution!

Comment 26: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165502#c26
Just append the following lines to .kde/share/config/kopeterc and restart:
| Code: | [ICQVersion]
Build=0x17AB
ClientId=0x010A
ClientString=ICQ Client
Country=us
Lang=en
Major=0x0006
Minor=0x0000
Other=0x00007535
Point=0x0000 |
Works (at least for me).
--Edit--
Ok, duplicate answer (see caspar's post), nevermind. Solution confirmed.

I have the same problem with pidgin. Do you know a solution? www.pidgin.im seems to be somewhat... busy  |

If you still use the current stable version of pidgin in portage, use these files:
http://thinknull.com/~ba/public/pidgin-2.3.1.ebuild
http://thinknull.com/~ba/public/pidgin-icq_version_fix.patch
Replace the ebuild file in /usr/portage/net-im/pidgin/ (standard path) with the linked one above, put the patch file in the files folder in the same directory, digest the new ebuild (ebuild /path/to/pidgin-2.3.1.ebuild digest) and re-emerge pidgin (emerge -1 pidgin).
Yes, this is a dirty hack...

i did what you suggested :
| Code: | # patch -p1 < /home/audiq/downies/licq-1.3.5-logonfix.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Index: src/icqpacket.cpp
|===================================================================
|--- src/icqpacket.cpp (revision 6387)
|+++ src/icqpacket.cpp (working copy)
--------------------------
File to patch: |
what now ?, i would think i had to go into the licq 1.3.5 dir in portage right ?
thx a lot
ps : just not enough time to play around, already trying to sync portage (just to see if there is a fix available)

you somehow managed to get the actual licq patch out of it 
And that is of course for the licq source... |

| Code: | | cd /usr/portage/ ; wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=159141 -qO- | patch -p1 ; emerge -av =net-im/licq-1.3.5 |
Really dont know how you messed that up... |
