Bug Description
As of 18th November 2010, there's an issue which can be worked around by disabling SSL during ICQ login. Unfortunately, Empathy does not currently offer a way to do this, so you'll have to use the command line to change this option.
* Disable your ICQ account.
* In a terminal, run the following command:
mc-tool update haze/icq/_3<your uin>0 bool:use-ssl=false
- The extra '3' and '0' are deliberate!
- For instance, if your ICQ username is '12345', run: mc-tool update haze/icq/_3123450 bool:use-ssl=false
- If you get an unhelpful error telling you that ‘Method "GetAll" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedeskto
* Re-enable your ICQ account.
If this doesn't work, disable your ICQ account, wait 10 minutes, and try again.
A future release of the ICQ backend will improve the error reporting for this situation, and fix a bug which might cause your account to be locked for 10 minutes when this happens.
