Binary package hint: kopete
Hi all,
We tried to report this in the official tracker, but were told that this is likely an ubuntu-specific bug, and thus we should report here. Unfortunately, Malone doesn't allow me to file a kopete bug directly, so I’m kinda cheating my way around.
The mentioned KDE.org bug is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142062
Whenever I have a Jabber account (or two) set up, Kopete takes ages to load and there are yellow alert exclamation marks on the plugin icons in the status bar for a while. Exiting is similarly sluggish.
Bram Schoenmakers says that: "[The plugin's files] should be installed in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kopete_jabber/ . If it's not, then Ubuntu hacked something together that the file is not on the right place or not present at all." -- indeed no such directory was present, while other plugins all had their respective directories, with some files in them.
Could someone better at C++ than I am please look into this?
Well, an update to this: the directory exists in /usr/share/apps, but it doesn’t in ~/.kde/share/apps. Copied manually, it does load a little faster and doesn’t show the exclamation marks.
