Kopete and Facebook chat throws an XMPP 1.0 negotiation error

Folks,

New to openSUSE but I’ve been trying to configure Kopete with Facebook Chat and get the following error:

There was a negotiation error: Unsupported protocol version. XMPP 1.0 is required.

I have searched the forums and also looked through the wiki for a solution all to no avail. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? I should note that I used the configuration suggested by Facebook on it’s chat page.

Thanks for your time!

How did you add the account in Kopete. It works fine on my machines with FB accounts. I think you selected the wrong protocol when creating the account.
Remove the account from Kopete
Add a new one
Accounttype: Jabber (XMPP, jabber, Google Talk)
Next screen : YOUR_FB_USERNAME@chat.facebook.com , your password, check “remember password”. OK, OK.

I just readded mine, and it works. Hope this helps you

So in other news, take the simplest path no? Being dutiful I look up the settings on Facebook which had me override the port for the server…

Thanks for the help!

Have a great day!
