Kopete crashes when trying to configure devices

[Brian Beck]

Using the Live Kubuntu cd beta 2, when I try to configure devices in kopete, the light on my webcam comes on, and then kopete crashes.

To reproduce...
1. Start kopete
2. Cancel the welcome wizard
3. Select Settings -> Configure... -> Devices
You will see a busy cursor, then kopete crashes.

If I unplug the webcam I can enter the devices section of the configuration. However, if I plug the webcam back in, kopete continues to allow me to enter the devices section, but does not indicate that I have a webcam, and lsusb becomes unresponsive. So perhaps this is a sign of a deeper issue, but I don't know.

If there's anything I can do to help just ask.

Thanks.

DETAILS

Kopete version: 3.5.2-0ubuntu3

Here's what lsusb says about the webcam (before I tried unplugging and plugging the webcam)...

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000

Errors from command line...

Hi Brian...you're not alone :-) There's already a duplicate of this bug reported by Craig Sampson...
It's fixed upstream (kopete 0.12 cvs)...we hope that we can include it in dapper or maybe backport the fix in our current package

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

this appears to be fixed, please reopen if you still have this problem

[Brian Beck (brian-beck-mchsi)]

Kopete still crashes when accessing the devices tab of the configuration using the Release Candidate Kubuntu Live CD.

Kopete version 3.5.2-0ubuntu6

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

This is fixed in kopete 0.12.1

Please reopen if you still have this problem.
