I have 3 different Instant Messaging (IM) that will not connect to yahoo; Pidgin, Kopete and Empathy.
I am using the latest opensuse 13.2 with the KDE desktop and all up to date.
I have scoured the web lookinng for solutions to this problem to no avail.
There are no error codes so I have no idea what is going on.
Any thoughts, ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated
Not quite sure what you are asking for, are you asking for a IM that has yahoo! IM support?
Those clients you mentioned don’t support the Yahoo!IM protocol.
A quick search revealed gyachi (I haven’t tested it)
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/gyachi
if you already have setup packman as a repo then just install gyachi
sudo zypper in gyachi
gyachi
edit
Kopete does seam to have Yahoo support
https://userbase.kde.org/Kopete#Protocols_support
Empathy does too
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Empathy/Protocols
Pidgin has basic yahoo! support too
https://pidgin.im/
maybe you should check your firewall and see if it’s blocking the traffic.
gyachi might still be your best bet
