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'm new to ubuntu (installed 3 days ago). I have two disks in my notebook - one hdd (big, 320GB) and one ssd (very fast, 120GB). Everything is on ssd now, but I want to know how can I split my home directory to make config folders (like .thunderbird, .mozilla, .purple) to use ssd (for very fast response), and put movies, pictures, downloads and other folders to use hdd (a lot of space). Simply mounting hdd as /home is not a good option, becouse config files would be on hdd also. Should I mount (or link) all folders like /home/username/Videos to hdd, or is there a better solution?

So I need to set vim to 2-char tabs when working on that project, but otherwise I want to keep my original configuration.
Is there a way to have options in .vimrc that depend on the current working directory, so I don't have to switch back and forth manually?

I am running a server with a GRSecurity patched Kernel 2.6.32.36. I've tried to optimize the kernel as much as I can and know it (removing options, not needed drivers and so on) and compiled the modules into the kernel (no loadable modules anymore). I've started with Slackware 13.0 and the default config for 2.6.29.6-huge. Still I am not sure what to remove/optimize further now.
My question: Is there a way to boot with a kernel with loadable modules, check which modules are really needed for this hardware, (do something like lsmod) and save the running configuration modules for a next kernel compile to be the default .config instead of writing them down by hand and search for the appropriate names in .config or during menuconfig? (Note: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config is NOT the way I want, as it gives me just the current kernel config)

You can find this bug here: [URL]and here: [URL]
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.

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?

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.

"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]
This is the site where I went to find a theme [URL] And this is the one I'd like to install [URL] but I can't get it to work, can some one help me on this one,... Plus I'm pretty sure theres more people out there like me. So this would be very nice if some one tells us "how to". I like pidgin better, but empathy it's the default in ubuntu, and It comes with better integration with Gnome.
