Thank you.

The KDE 4 port is work in progress. It is basically working but all the icons etc are missing.

It isn't ready for end user use yet. I will update this section as soon I release the first kde4 version.

If you would benefit from a beta tester, do not hesitate - contact me at the above username @gmail.com
Normally I am on the latest kde4 packets, and I am using kopete all day on multiple protocols, and I have colleagues that prefer talking of the record :-)
And I am used to reporting bugs in a qualified way.

I've compiled the OTR plugin for Debian testing/lenny and packaged it up. You can get it at http://blog.gauner.org/2007/12/05/kopete-otr-for-debian-lenny/.

i was still using kopete-otr 0.2, somehow my gentoo didnt update...
anyways it crashed my kopete and _maybe_ this is not an old bug so here we go:

gdb says:
ibkopete: WARNING: [Kopete::Plugin* Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal(const Q String&)] Unable to find a plugin named 'kopete_statistics'!
KCrash: Application 'kopete' crashing...
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
Program exited normally.


kcrash says:
#6 0xb60a7a25 in strstr () from /lib/libc.so.6
#7 0x0000e8ac in ?? ()

#9 0xb5e22778 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libotr.so.2

I hope this is any help. i dont have debug compiled in

Is this crash still coming from 0.2?
What were you doing when it crashed?
Please add debug output to the build as the stack trace isn't telling anything about the crash.

Report

yes this was comming from 0.2
the crash did come at every kopete startup, since one day. i didnt do any unusuall things during the last kopete session, before the crashes appeared.
i upgraded then to 0.7 and it works now again.

is there a way to add more debug info without having debug compiled in?
in other words should i not even bother about filling out bugreports (not only kopete/otr but in general), because all my packages are compiled without debug support.

This is a big problem with user reports... The stack trace doesn't tell anything if they haven't enabled debug. But if you find a reproducible bug and you can explain exactly what you are doing to reproduce it, this will halp the developers.

But for sure you shouldn't report bugs if you are 5 versions behind because this bugs will most likely been fixed already.

Ok, so got and installed the plugin, generated a key, set myself to 'manual'

Brought up a chat window for a friend, tools->otr->start session

Try to send a message:

OTR Error: You transmitted an unreadable encrypted message.


... any ideas?

This is a really helpful plugin. Why don't you try to push it upstream?

I think you uploaded the wrong package (it's 0.5 and should be 0.6).

... wont work.

My fingerprints are imported from pidgin 2.0.2. As described here in the comments.

Btw: The private key can not just be coppied from pidgin. They seem to use a string for "protocol" while kopete needs an integer value.
I changed the line
(protocol prpl-icq)
to
(protocol "myicqno") <- with Quotations

and it worked.

Ok back to the opportunistic issue.
Well kopete justed does not send encrypted messenages to people i have an verified fingerprints of.

What to do here?

Report

Hm. To prevend missunderstandings.
The encryption itself works nice, when an otr session is started manualy or by an incomming message.

Kopete justs does not start an otr session automatically, when I start a conversion with others.

The opportunistic mode tags outgoing messages with whitespaces. If the other client receives this tags it should start a private conversation. For this reason it depends also on the other side whether opportunistic will work or not. If the other side has set the policy for example to manual or never it won't encrypt automatically.

It seems that you have mixed two different versions of the plugin. Make sure to uninstall the old version before installing the new one.
