** Description changed: - Binary package hint: pidgin + Binary package hint: pidgin, empathy, telepathy-haze, libpurple - I don't know what caused this, but this has been happening for a while. - I thought the problem with QQ was fixed because QQ worked on Pidgin - earlier today, but then I signed back on this evening and I got a - message that my QQ had been disabled. QQ used to work all the time from - Pidgin. This is really disappointing that it doesn't work anymore. + It has been over 16 months QQ chat protocol is unusable in linux. - The problem only started it seems with pidgin 2.5.5. Since then I've - lost several QQ numbers to pidgin. + Pidgin (libpurple) and Empathy (telepathy-haze) with default settings + prevent logging into QQ servers because of protocol incompatibility. - I've just given up on Pidgin QQ. I'm going to use QQ for linux to talk - to my Chinese friends from now on. + Modifying the server version with QQ2008 enables the user to log in only for a very short time (a few hours). + As the original reporter stated back in June 2009 and I presonally confirm today October 2010 (Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, default install) Trencent (the QQ provide) disables all user accounts permanently once they are found using an unofficial version of the client. - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 - ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/pidgin - Package: pidgin 1:2.5.6-1~getdeb1 - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: pidgin - Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 - UnreportableReason: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package + ------ + + The official version of the client linuxqq (available from the official + website of QQ) is dated January 2009 and on current versions of Ubuntu + crashes after the second sentence typed in and sent to the other party. + + eva package, another alternative for QQ, is dated back to 2006. + + Windows QQ does not correctly run under wine. + + Currently there is no valid alternative to anyone willing to chat using + QQ protocol.
