Looking at qdbusviewer I can see that org.kde.Kopete.setOnlineStatus Method has two parameters of type QString - status and message. If I set these strings in qdbusviewer, it works fine, updates both status and message.
The question is, how do I do this with qdbus?

Code: Select all

$ qdbus org.kde.kopete /Kopete org.kde.Kopete.setOnlineStatus 'away' 'test'
Invalid number of parameters

One parameter works and updates the status, but I want to update message too.
What is the correct way of separating parameters in qdbus? From what I've read, they should be separated by a space, but it doesn't work in my case.

Kde-4.2.2, qt-4.5.0, btw.

Likely a bug in QDBus. I found this method though, which might be able to help
qdbus org.kde.kopete /Kopete org.kde.Kopete.setStatusMessage

Found this method too, but it doesn't seem to work at all.

A workaround would be using dbus-send, e.g.:

Code: Select all

dbus-send  --session  --dest=org.kde.kopete  --type=method_call  --print-reply  --reply-timeout=2000  /Kopete org.kde.Kopete.setOnlineStatus string:online string:test
