Yahoo doesn't connect in kopete?

English Applications
#1

Hi,

until a few days, I had no problems connecting yahoo messenger using Kopete. But these 3 days kopete does not connect to it net.

I know the net is right, because I can connect to yahoo via webmail page.

Do you know is there something wrong with yahoo? or kopete?

Thanks in advance for the feedback,

Regards

Not sure I have an answer that will meet your needs. Yahoo has dumped or is dumping an older protocol (YMSG - don’t know version #s)

Here’s what I dug out from my Gyache log:

[06/09/2009 16:10:12] SYSTEM MESSAGE: User: Yahoo_Messenger, Message: Warning: This version of Messenger will expire on August 15, 2009. Please upgrade to the latest supported version: Download - Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 .

[06/09/2009 16:10:12] POSSIBLE FLOOD OR BOOT ATTACK ATTEMPTED: Illegal/Unwanted Communication blocked by Gyach-Enhanced from ‘Yahoo_Messenger’ using method/message type ‘Blocked Private Message’

Since then I’ve tried using Pidgin and Kopete, with different results, but not quite what I was looking for.

With openSuse 11.0 & 11.1

I see I had no other choice that wait what yahoo will do with his protocol. Until then I can chat via their web-mail screen, but of course, is not the same.

Try running Yahoo! messenger for Windows in wine
It’s easy to configure wine in OpenSuSe 11.1
I installed but had some problem and as it’s not priority I ignored it.
In my case installation of Yahoo! went smooth even I am able to sign in via wine but when I click on any name it hangs up.

Amey.

Common issue (well known). However, my Kopete under KDE 3.5 on both
openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 just keep on connecting without issue so far. My
friends say I’m getting “lucky” with that… but I think something else
is going on.

Problem is fixed in the very latest version of Pidgin. I don’t think
there’s a repo for it, but you can always build it…

Which version is that? Can u post any link to it.

#11

pidgin 2.5.7 (which fixes the problem) is already available in various repositories on the BuildService. Please go to

Software.openSUSE.org

select your openSUSE version and search for pidgin. Choose a repository you trust that offers pidgin 2.5.7 and install it via the 1-Click-link.

I don’t know whether there is already a fix for Kopete, but if, you will surely find fixed packages with the URl from above as well.

Thanks buddy.

I cannot run yahoo messenger with wine on linux. I can’t log in and the application seems freezed. The only thing I can do with the window is change its size, but nothing more. Clicking buttons has no effect, closing window button or minimize one (X or _) are draws… nothing happens when you click on them.

I want now to uninstall the window yahoo messenger with wine ? Is that possible ?

I was reading some news about microsoft buying yahoo… I hope that doesn’t happen.

Anyway, now… ÇI want to uninstall the yahoo installed with wine, and if it’s posssible run yahoo with kopete or any other linux chat programm

that’s all

thank you for take your time for reading this log message

best regards,
