Ubuntu :: Connect To Freenode Using Empathy But It Always Gives Network Error
Apr 29, 2010
I'm trying to connect to freenode using my Empathy but it always gives me network error (on chat.freenode.net and irc.freenode.net). The steps I took were the simplest ones: Edit > Accounts Add...Protocol: IRC Network: FreeNode Nickname: pedrosanta Real Name: Pedro Santa Start session This is very, very strange. Anyone got this too? Can you shed me some light on what's happening or how can figure that out? FYI, I'm using the Portuguese version.
I tried to connect to FreeNode via TOR and directed to this web site.I have registered and verified by nickname with nickserv on FreeNode.Then I downloaded the XChat SASL plugin from here.I set it up the way it told me to.When I try and connect to the hidden service I am rejected being told I need to use SASL. What could I have done wrong and how can I find out>
why irssi won't connect to freenode (I am in the process of configuring it and username has been set).
Code:
15:09 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net 15:09 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [xx.xx.xx.xx.] port 6667 15:12 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Connection timed out]
My network connection seems fine. I have not any issues at all with ethernet/wireless so I am not sure what is causing this. Irssi worked fine on fedora before switching to arch.
I get error when I try to login my yahoo account. It seems okay with Gtalk, I havent checked the others because I use yahoo for most of time. It blows out network error no matter how i try: killall tempathy-butterfly (it's probably not running on my system, I've tried with killall telepathy-haze,salut which are running and having relative with telepathy ), edit host file, change the server name by adding cn before it. But it's still no go up to now.
My alternatives are meebo or wine and trillian, worked, but is there any chance for Empathy or Pidgin (it gives me error: connection refused)? It's just happened for 3-4 days recently, i dont know whether my network has configured right or not. Hope someone give me a hand which should embarrass me to continue living in linux bug world.
I'm getting 'Network Error' in Empathy on my MSN accounts. This is an old issue but the answer I always knew (just killall telepathy-butterfly and restart Empathy) isn't working.There is no process telepathy-butterfly.
I am trying to connect to empathy, but whenever I log in, under my name is says "network error". My internet connection is working fine, and I have full bars.
I am trying to setup empathy to use yahoo im. I have searched and searched and apparently I cannot find a resolution. Does this work for anyone? Is there another IM option that will? I can connect to msn without error, but for yahoo account, i just get a network error.
I just recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to connect to IRC (freenode) using Empathy. 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 wanted to join the #gnome channel on irc.gnome.org in emapthy. But when I tried creating a new account, I couldn't fin that server in the list of servers.
Using Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 and using empathy 2.30.1 both from the ppa and the ubuntu repo. Gtalk wont connect and only gives the error of disconnected --- no reason specified.
Neither pidgin, aMSN, nor empathy will connect to my hotmail account, pidgin connects to xfire and gmail fine, but not to my hotmail, so i have to use ebuddy, which i don't like. The weird thing is that for a period of time it won't connect, then it works again (aMSN and empathy too) and after a while it'll stop working again. Also my buddies in hotmail usually see me offline, even though my status is set to online.
aMSN gives me: "error connecting to server" pidgin gives me: "Connection error from Notification server: Reading error"
I've problems to connect my empathy trough my office proxy. I already configure my amsn to access to my hotmail account and it works but when I try to use empathy it just doesn't connect.
just did a clean install and update to Maverick, and found that empathy won't connect without internet connection managed by networkmanager (I'm using wvdial to connect to the internet since networkmanager doesn't recognize my modem). it keeps saying 'Offline -- No Network Connection' unless I deactivate and reactivate the account. It's kinda annoying.
for Lucid, there is a simple fix for this condition, [URL]... but now, there is no entry for empathy in gconf-editor after I did the Maverick fresh install.
is there anybody have the same problem and know the solution? I can just install pidgin, but I think it is better to not having redundant apps installed.
Empathy used to work perfectly, it would connect to my account well. Now, for some reason, it just stays connecting with the little rolling circle thing next to the status. My account works on Pidgin though.. What could this be?
As of today I am unable to connect to Yahoo messenger in either Empathy or Pidgin. Empathy gives its generic "network error" and Pidgin says the account is disabled, and fails to connect when I click "re-enable." I've checked the obvious things such as username and password. I was able to connect through the web messenger so my credentials are good. Also tried swapping the server with the IP address and changing the character encoding as recommended here.
i am using ubuntu 11.04 and i have already tried using Empathy, pidgin(with/without d plugin for fb) n one more IM. NONE of them is working and its pretty frustrating ! it shows "connecting..." n continues to show this for a long time untill it finally show that its unable to connect.
I want to try empathy in my Debian Squeeze to connect to my Yahoo Messenger. But I can't find how to add my yahoo account. All empathy shows only Jabber, Google Talk and People Nearby.
This is been going on all day. No MSN in Pidgin, and MSN on and off in Empathy. As always, I suspect Microsoft has something to do with this and wish I didn't need to use MSN. On the other hand, a laptop sitting next to me with Ubuntu connects with no problem.
In Fedora 13, Empathy 2.30.1-2 doesn't connect to Facebook Chat, giving just "Network error". Of course, I know that user must set his username in Facebook.
I have problem with Empathy Internet Messaging and my MSN. When I try to connect to MSN with my account I get message No reason specified and I can't connect. I need to say that I'm still total linux noob.
I recently donwloaded boinc and every time I launch I get this error "cannot connect to core client." I went through the guides and opened port 31416 in external zone, am I doing this right? The guide said to put it in the DMZ, what's the difference?
My problem is that the Mailserver in OpenSuse 11.1 (postfix, amavisd, spamassassin, clamAV en Razor) can not recieve e-mails, outgoing is ok. The problem started when I added 2 new users to de LDAP-server connected to Postfix.Some users can login, but most of them are getting the error: cant connect POP3 connection refused port 995.
I have installed the files from Betavine - SuSE Linux Drivers and installed it by clicking the rpms and installing now the error is this- Vodafone Mobile Connect needs the following files and dirs with some specific permissions in order to work properly: /etc/ppp/chap-secrets should have 0660 mode, found 0666 /etc/ppp/peers should be readable and writtable by group root user Rob should be a member of group root
I recently wanted to build Empathy 2.31 from a source tarball (after having installed all the dependencies listed on the Empathy website).I got the following error while launching ./autogen.sh:
Code:configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found.After some googling to try to fix this problem, I've found a thread on these forums. It was saying install libglib2.0-dev an then install (or remove) gnome-shell.I tried every solution I've found but nothing works, still got the error.Does anyone here succeded in compiling Empathy from source please?
