Moin AJ, 2009/9/1 Andreas Jaeger :

Hearing that you discussed to use empathy as default IM client and not pidgin, I tried to use empathy and it offered me to import my accounts from pidgin (great idea but it did not really important everything) - but nothing worked afterwards.  empathy did not connect for me to AIM, Groupwise, ICQ or Googletalk.

I just did a simple "zypper in empathy".  Does empathy support my accounts at all?  If I manually go to "Add..", it only offers Jabber, Salut and Google Talk...

To get the full protocol support in empathy you need to ensure you have telepathy-haze installed. I have a feeling this is an issue with the spec file not pulling it in as a dep.

OK, installing it helped one step - I can now enable the account - but no connect did happen :-( Only googletalk works now, the rest is broken :-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Which account? (if it's the internal groupwise inside novell, then it's unfortunately known to be broken -- something bad with certificates). Hrm. Looking at some upstream bugs, it seems it might be possible to ship whitelisted certificates now... I'll look at that.

Please please please file a bug upstream about this. It will never get fixed if it's not reported.

Don't worry, I'm going to but my point is it's not ready for us to make the default (so I'm glad that wasn't intended to be the result).

Yeah, facebook is known to be not working by default because it comes as an external plugin for libpurple.

I guessed that was why but the average user doesn't care.

And note that we now have empathy with mc5 in G:F (see last comment in the bug to know why it is relevant).

Oh, sure, I agree. I'm just pointing out that the failure is ours.

:) Incidentally, the importing bug is fixed upstream apparently: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585777 -- James Ogley (riggwelter) openSUSE Member GNOME Team and Planet SUSE e: riggwelter@opensuse.org w: http://opensuse.org/GNOME t: @riggwelter w: http://www.planetsuse.org openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Yes, that's it.

Just a note too, the groupwise in empathy doesn't work with Novell due to something about certs. Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I'm afraid I'm having to "vote" against empathy too:

I did zypper in empathy telepathy-haze to get the full libpurple support and when I started empathy for the first time, I was prompted to import my Pidgin accounts...

Problems:

1) Agreeing to import apparently achieves nothing - no accounts were imported. 2) I have a Facebook account setup in Pidgin/libpurple. Anyone switching from one messaging client to another would reasonably expect all accounts to be transferred but even had point 1 worked correctly, the Facebook account was not listed.

The problem with pidgin-facebook as it needs porting to empathy. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17907 Luis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
