Why I can't log into Talk (Google) at Kopete

(solved)
Talk uses the Jaber protocol.
I used Talk at Etch, but since I installed Lenny I can't.
Something has been changed?

Do you mean using kopete for IM-ing or for voice commnication? Google Talk doesn't support voice communication for linux. If you just want jabber IM-ing just check your Settings->Configure->Accounts menu and make sure the info there is correct.

Thanks, jdkaye, but all seems correct.
I don't want to use voice comunication.

Can you explain what this means? When you say, "I can't" that is not very helpful. What do you do exactly? and what is the response. Please be explicit.

Yes.
"I can't", means that the light of the icon was like a pulse and my contacts was not charged.
But just in this moment I try anew to be "On line" successfully and my contacts are charged.
Well, thus, thank you very much. It is solved, at least for this moment.

That's nice to hear. So "I can't" meant that you couldn't logon to google talk. Often some jabber servers go down or are unavailable for limited periods of time. It's not a software problem (nothing to do with Kopete) as long as your account information is correct.
