Instantbird states: ICQ connection error Recently users started to get an error ("Error: Unknown reason") while attempting to connect to ICQ. This is being tracked in bug 582. ...
Luckily there is an easy work around for now: 1. Open the account manager ("Tools" > "Accounts") 2. Select your ICQ account and click "Properties" 3. On the "Advanced Options" tab change the "Server" to "login.icq.com" and deselect "Use SSL" and "Use clientLogin" Other third party instant messaging clients using one of the "old" login servers were also affected. However, Empathy does not have the option to use SSL and Use clientLogin with the ICQ protocol. -- Cannot connect to ICQ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676060 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
