Title:
QQ account disabled because of protocol error in Pidgin and Empathy
Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
Unknown
Status in Pidgin:
Confirmed
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin, empathy, telepathy-haze, libpurple
It has been over 16 months QQ chat protocol is unusable in linux.
Pidgin (libpurple) and Empathy (telepathy-haze) with default settings
prevent logging into QQ servers because of protocol incompatibility.
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.
------
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.
