[SOLVED] missing input fields in KAccounts KCM

I've setup a KVM-VM to test KDE's KF5/Plasma 5/etc.. No KDE4 packages are installed.

When trying to create a new account in the KAccount KCM, I'm encountering several problems:

• Google: simply closing the window without authenicating triggers and endless loop opening the web authentication over and over again

• Jabber: no input fields at all

• KDE Talk: only ID input field shown, no password input field

Non of these problems occur on an up-to-date Neon5 live DVD (based on Kubuntu). While the Google problem shouldn't be much of a hassle, the others simply prevent me from even creating any account. Is this a known problem? Did I miss to install some packages? Is there a daemon not running that I'd need? Please simply ask for details you may need.

Thanks!

Yes, you're missing telepathy-gabble

Wow... thank you! I'd never expect the missing protocol implementation to be the problem of a non-existing password input field only (instead of the whole configuration module)... Thanks
