Setting up a GTalk account in Kopete (KDE4)

Today I put on my Kubuntu KDE4 laptop and ran into a problem when setting up GTalk in Kopete. When connecting, the error “SSL support could not be initialized for account user@example.com. This is most likely because the QCA TLS plugin os is not installed on your system.

First of all, I naturally tried to solve this problem by installing this very QCA TLS , quite logical, isn’t it? Moreover, the bag in the repositories was found the same name.

sudo apt-get install qca-tls

After that, I restart Kopete and ... the same error crashes. I reread the error message, I see a note about the plugin and after a brief search by package, I execute
')
sudo apt-get install libqca2-plugin-ossl

After that, restart Kopete and ... voila, it all worked!

By the way, it will not be superfluous to remind you that in order to communicate with your GTalk account from Kopeta you need to set the following settings:

1. When creating an account, select the Jabber protocol
2. As a Jabber ID, enter your username, along with the domain name, that is, username@gmail.com or username@example.com if you use Google Apps on your organization’s domain, etc.
3. In the connection settings (Connection tab) check all three checkboxes: Use protocol encryption (SSL); Allow plain-text password authentication; Override default server information
4. Set talk.google.com , port 5223 as the server name .

These settings should be enough for comfortable work. Remember to install QCA TLS support if an error pops up. One command does it like this:

sudo apt-get install qca-tls libqca2-plugin-ossl
