Sometimes Empathy is not sending my messages to my contacts on MSN. There are no warning messages of this, so it's really annoying. I have to disconnect and reconnect to MSN to resolve the issue. After the bug occurs no message is sent to that contact, but I can communicate with others.
In my case I see no correlation between the length of the message and the bug occurring, it seems to appear randomly.
I am using Empathy 2.30.0.1 on Ubunutu 10.04 RC
i've never been able to use empathy.for some reason, i just can't add accounts.i've messed with it a lot in karmic, but gave up. running lucid now and added a profile for my wife. interestingly, she has no problems using empathy so i think there must be something going on with my settings.i've searched and searched and removed everything i could find that was empathy-related, but no luck.

When I try to add a new account, IRC does not show up in the list of "kind of chat account". I'll attach a screenshot of what I see. I have the telepathy-idle package installed.

I've been trying to stomach Empathy's emoticons for a while now but I don't think I can take them anymore; I just find them #*^$@-n' creepy. As far as I can tell, there isn't a slick way to customize this, but does anyone know where to go under the hood in this program?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with the Empathy MSN on Ubuntu 10.10.I have searched the web but haven't found anything particular about this.I'm trying to log in but it stays on "Connecting" forever, doesn't go anywhere else.But it's still logging in, how do I know that?When I'm on msn on my other computer (which runs W7) and I try to log in into Empathy, I get signed out from my W7 MSN. This happens because I happen to log in from another place. In this case, that means that Empathy is logging me in, but it's still stucks on "Connection".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Empathy set to start when I login, and when I turn off my computer, it is always still running. I also usually have Evolution, Liferea, and Rhythmbox running. All of these applications usually work fine the next day when I turn on my computer. However, for the last few days, Empathy has been starting without a menu bar. In one instance, Rhythmbox was also menubar-less. Now, Empathy is always without a menu bar. If I ever need the menu bar, I have to restart Empathy. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I am unable to provide a terminal output since this application starts up with my computer. I have provided a screenshot of Empathy. I think I have a faint idea of why Empathy is without a menu bar. I read something somewhere about an XML file that contained the menu bar contents. I think that since I shut off my computer without closing these applications, that file has been corrupted. I have no idea why everything works fine once I restart Empathy, though. If you cannot answer this question, perhaps you could tell me if it is safe to shutdown Ubuntu with applications still running. In OS X, it will automatically tell your applications to quit safely, then turn of the computer. I hope Ubuntu doesn't just force quit any open applications. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit with the latest updates. I am using Empathy 2.26.1.

i got my facebook chat working in empathy, but for some reason i can not add my friends from this protocol into a custom group. I have my gmail contacts in a group, and my aim buddies in a group, allowing them to be minimized, but i cannot get my facebook friends to go into a facebook group for some reason. I can right click the friend, and create a new group called "Facebook", but the friend will not move to the group when i hit close.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHello, when I log into Aim using pidgin I get this error
"Received unexpected response from http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession"
I tried using a MSN account to test it out and it works. So AIM does not work. The port is on 5190 so I dont understand what is wrong.
I know how to do so in pidgin - there was a specific directory in ur homedir which u could go to to back things up. But where is this in empathy? Let's say i want to reinstall. Or shift to another machine. What happens then?
(Note: I've tried searching the forums already with "empathy backup". Not much luck there. Also looked at [URL]
I want to start empathy with a different config directory, but I cannot find how to do it. For example, with Pidgin I used to do it doing 'pidgin -c path-to-folder'. Does anybody know if it's possible?

I like pidgin better, but empathy it's the default in ubuntu, and It comes with better integration with Gnome.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't like having to click twice to do what I had happen automatically in Pidgin - that is, open up my new messages in Empathy. It's just cumbersome - is there any hack or option for this, or should I merely go back to Pidgin for now? I really like Empathy, but this is just annoying.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to convert some of my old Pidgin-logs to Empathy's format, and I've run into an issue I can't figure out. The Empathy logfiles contain a "token", which is a sha1-hash of the user's avatar at the moment the message was sent.The avatars are stored (in my case) in ~/.cache/telepathy/avatars/butterfly/msn. All filenames contain the sha1-hash, and have no extension (such as jpg/png). Some avatars uses only the hash as filename, but some has the prefix "_3" before the hash.Does anyone know why some avatars are prefixed "_3"?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to ubuntu and linux and for convenience I choose to surrender to the "ME" set-up by ubuntu, when it comes to using Empathy over my preferred Pidgin (I still use Thunderbird though without integration). The thing that annoys me is that the alert sounds, when I get chat massages and so on, are really low! Lot's of times I missed chats from friends because I didn't hear them. I've looked on the internet and I've tried different sound settings in the main preferences, but nothing. How to turn up the alert volume for Empathy?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi recently lost access to yahoo IM on 2 different computers (one 32-bit and one 64-bit) on both empathy and pidgin. it happened at around the same time on 2 separate machines on 2 separate networks. both gmail and msn will connect using both clients - it's only yahoo that will not connect and i've tried 2 different yahoo accounts, too...
i can still log into yahoo IM on a windows virtual machine and through the web messenger - just not using the ubuntu clients.
could there have been a recent update that may have caused this? i've also heard that yahoo in the past has changed around servers and put in measures to limit usages strictly to yahoo clients.
Does empathy have anything similar to the "buddy pounce" found in Pidgin?
