Never able to connect to facebook

I have the same problem. I had the plugin working in Jaunty, but since I have upgraded to Karmic, nothing works :-(

Could it be that facebook changed their protocoll?

See changelog off pidgin facebook plugin
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/wiki/Changelog

Here's a debdiff to fix the recent protocol change. Based on a git commit by Alexandru Scvortov (http://github.com/brunoqc/kopete-facebook/commit/275a502156927eec92b01c18bb00873af798fa56)

This bug was fixed in the package kopete-facebook - 0.1.4-0ubuntu2

---------------
kopete-facebook (0.1.4-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Add kubuntu_01_offline_detection.diff, Closes LP: #476360 "Never
    able to connect to facebook"
  * Add kubuntu_02_protocol_changes.diff, Closes LP: #428017 "plugin

  * Add build-dep on quilt

Will this package be corrected in Karmic?

Hi,

It worked here. The plugin also doesn't crash Kopete in exit anymore.

Thanks a lot,
Alexandre

I tried the normal repositories version and also the ubuntu1.1 version but nothing works here "Unable to connect" without more explanations

ubuntu1.1 from karmic-proposed here, still not connecting

still not working for me .. just wondering when will kopete-facebook - 0.1.4-0ubuntu2 backported to karmic ?

i was rechecking the logs and understood what was happening:
for some reason kopete did not update my facebook password that i had changed. i tried to change it again, and still the "no connection" message (not a wrong password one).
deleted my facebook account in kopete, kopete asked me twice for the password (as is told in another bug) and then it logged in ok.

done some experiments, the same problem (of non-updating the passwords) is happening with other kopete accounts. so it's exclusively a kopete (or kwallet?) problem.
anyway, i leave this comment here, there might be more people in my situation

Tested the version from karmic-proposed and can confirm, that I can now connect to and use facebook chat in kopete.
