Empathy and Telepathy-haze

[hanzomon4]

I'm trying to get myspaceIM and facebook chat working in empathy via telepathy-haze. Telepathy-haze allows you to use all of the protocols supported by libpurple(pidgin).

Running HAZE_PERSIST=1 HAZE_DEBUG=all /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze returns a list of protocols found by telepathy-haze DEBUG: get_protocols: Found protocols aim, bigbrownchunx-facebookim, gadugadu, groupwise, icq, irc, jabber, local-xmpp, msn, myspace, qq, sametime, silc, simple, yahoo, zephyr

As you can see myspace and facebook are listed, however in the empathy account window I don't see the option to create a facebook or myspace account.

I checked /usr/share/telepathy/managers/ and saw a bunch of *.glade for everyone of the protocols in the account setup window, myspaceIM and facebook IM were missing which I guess explains why it doesn't show up in the empathy account setup window.

Does anyone know how to this up? Telepathy-haze does pickup all of the pidgin protocols I just can't seem to find a way to set them up in empathy.

No one?

you better ask at telepathy mailing list (http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy)

I just got it working. Have a look at this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17907

haze.manager can be found at /usr/share/telepathy/managers
Create bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile at /usr/share/mission-control/profiles

This works for the latest version of the plugin (1.38).

I checked out the website but I was wondering if you could give step-by-step instructions for getting facebook chat working.

It looks pretty straight forward but it is just vague enough that i could screw it up.

thanks!

[tich]

actually it was less vague than i thought.

thanks for the post.
do you know where the icons are supposed to go?
and what should they be renamed to?

[dasunst3r]

Unfortunately, I do not know where the icons are placed.

terminal solution:

wget https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=20810
sudo mv attachment.cgi?id=20810 /usr/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager
wget https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=20811
sudo mv attachment.cgi?id=20811 /usr/share/mission-control/profiles/bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile

Great it works! icons are at /usr/share/empathy/hicolor..... and according to the profile you created, facebook.png will do fine.

Cheers!

YaY!!!

How do I set this to solved

top of the thread, thread tools

[philliptweedie]

Sorry for the bump but I thought it best to keep this under one thread. The method described below always results in a network error for me. Anyone else still able to get this method to work?

terminal solution:

wget https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=20810
sudo mv attachment.cgi?id=20810 /usr/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager
wget https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=20811
sudo mv attachment.cgi?id=20811 /usr/share/mission-control/profiles/bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

UPDATE : Disregard all of the above, almost immediately got it to work once I posted this message.

Thanks anyway!

sudo mv attachment.cgi?id=20811 /usr/share/mission-control/profiles/bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile

hi.. i tried your insctructions but i guess this error in the last command "mv: cannot move `attachment.cgi?id=20811' to `/usr/share/mission-control/profiles/bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile': No such file or directory"

im using jauny, with an additional repository so now im using the latest empathy.how do i correct this?

[Kapitän Rotbart]

Shucks, using Jaunty, got the same problem as psychok7. However I manually created the /usr/share/mission-control/profiles/ directory, and I added the account to Empathy however it won’t connect. Under "Advanced" I see "Server" (default is blank) and "Facebook_hide_self" (default is "0").

I also figured the same as Nephi513 and didn’t bother downloading it from the Google Code page as I already had it installed from the repos.

Any solution to this?

[Locke_99GS]

Same results here on Karmic.

Does anyone have the server information for Facebook?

[Kapitän Rotbart]

Bump!

[bobpaul]

There is no longer a /usr/share/mission-control folder, so we can't place the profile file until the new location is found. Perhaps someone knows what happened to mission-control?

To help others figure it out, the attachments listed earlier are part of this bug report, comments 3 and 4:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17907

[Edit] More info may be found here: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Haze%20FAQ

Karmic uses mission-control 5. It would see that getting facebook chat working in Karmic should require installing the pidgin-facebookchat package and then deleting /usr/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to connect.

This method works for me.

I'm using a fresh install of Karmic beta 64 bit and the latest pidgin-facebookchat (1.61) from their google code site.

[Kapitän Rotbart]

I followed the instructions from this post (http://www.callum-macdonald.com/2009/09/21/ubuntu-jaunty-and-pidgin-facebookchat-1-61/) in order to install the latest version of pidgin-facebookchat DEB package (from its google code page). I got the dependency installed, installed the deb for pidgin-facebookchat, deleted haze.manager, Facebook-Chat appears in the list for Empathy, I can do anything except for connecting! Will this feature ever work in Jaunty? I know Karmic is only weeks away, but I am not going to run the beta just to hope that "tweaking around" would be simpler.

[Kapitän Rotbart]

Bump.

[hanzomon4]

On Karmic after deleting the haze.manager rebooting got it to connect

[lolwhites]

Have tried installing pidgin-facebookchat and deleting haze-manager in Karmic. Facebook-Chat appears in the list but won't connect.

[lingnoi]

I got it working on karmic by installing the latest facebook deb from the google code project site and then I placed the bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile file in my user directory..

./mission-control/profiles/bigbrownchunx-facebookim-haze.profile

I also installed the haze.manager in the location previously specified.

[psychok7]

works for me to..i installed the facebook plugin, and after retrying the first methods and not working , i deleted haze.manager, and i can now connect

[HarshReality]

Same here but it isnt showing the groups :/ 500+ contacts in FB makes that a bit more than messy.
