Empathy Msn Network Error Ubuntu
Bug #509721: empathy reports network error and requires killing telepathy-butterfly / telepathy-haze. Edit Remove 138 This bug affects 29 people Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone telepathy-butterfly Edit New Undecided Unassigned Edit telepathy-butterfly (Ubuntu) Edit Confirmed Low Unassigned Edit Also affects project (?) Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series Bug Description Binary package hint: empathy Using MSN with empathy is almost impossible since most of the time it reports "Network error". Please note, that I have no problem with other IM clients using the same user. Also, there can't be major network problem: I am using 1Gbit LAN connection to the ISP's backbone network, also as I've mentioned, no problem with other clients. Also it's a bit misleading to show "edit contact" window, since user can't edit any setting which can solve this problem, I think :) It's up-to-date ubuntu karmic running on 32 bit x86 platform.

Whenever I try to connect I get an https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1303424 error message saying simply "Network Error". I am certain I am using the correct login information. If it helps, I could connect to MSN with Pidgin, but only using 'HTTP Method', which Empathy doesn't appear to have. I have a hunch that the cause of these problems may be something to do with my MSN address being "@fsmail.net" as opposed to "@hotmail.com" or "@hotmail.co.uk". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Adv Reply October 28th, 2009 #2 sideffects View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Gee! These Aren't Roasted!

Supported Protocols For protocols not supported by Empathy out-of-the-box you need to install an appropriate connection manager (protocol backend). AIM: install telepathy-haze Google Hangouts, https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Empathy/Protocols Jabber, XMPP: install telepathy-gabble local network ("Bonjour" - iChat-compatible): install telepathy-salut ICQ: install telepathy-haze IRC: install telepathy-idle (see the FAQ for more notes on IRC) MSN: install telepathy-butterfly SIP: install telepathy-rakia (known as telepathy-sofiasip before version 0.7.2), and the account-plugin-sip (see the FAQ for more notes on SIP) empathy msn Yahoo!: install telepathy-haze Not directly supported protocols Facebook (dropped their chat for 3rd party apps; reverse engineering work is in progress: see purple-facebook on Github) Various protocols supported by libpurple should theoretically work if you install telepathy-haze, but might not be very well-tested. These protocols include: Gadu-Gadu Groupwise Myspace empathy msn network Sametime SILC Zephyr Note on installing Until some D-Bus bugs have been fixed, you might need to log out and log back in to be able to create accounts using a newly installed connection manager. We plan to integrate packagekit to install missing package, help is welcome on bug #518429 Protocol Troubleshooting Here are some known issues you might have with specific protocols, with fixes and workarounds. If you're having a problem not listed here, do not add it to this page. Instead, file a bug or ask in the Empathy chat room (#empathy on irc.gnome.org; irc://irc.gnome.org/empathy). Yahoo Problem: I can't add a Yahoo account in the Accounts window (e.g. it's not in the list of protocols). Solution: Make sure telepathy-haze is installed on your system. On Ubuntu you need to run the following at a terminal: sudoapt-getinstalltelepathy-haze Problem: Yahoo icon blinks constantly while t
