[Jithin Emmanuel]

Binary package hint: kopete

On the tool bar change status to Offline and kopete crashes. Always reproducible.

Also dmesg shows this

Can't reproduce, is this still a valid issue?

[Jithin Emmanuel (jithin1987)]

Sorry cant help. I moved to arch linux.

Facebook now supports chat via XMPP (aka Jabber), which is a native plugin to Kopete. Due to this change of circumstances kopete-facebook was recently removed from the archives in favor of the present solution. It is currently not planed to deploy further updates to the version used in Kubuntu karmic.
