    no wizard in empathy

    I did a minimal install, have lxde installed. I tried installing empathy with --no-install-recommends but for some reason it wouldn't let me add any accounts, so I purged it and did a full empathy install. same issue. any thoughts on if I am missing any programs? when I run it from the terminal I don't get any errors. thanks for any help

    Can you add accounts with empathy - accounts - add acount?

    Re: no wizard in empathy

    I tried adding an account by going to Edit, and then Accounts. Nothing loads.
    Pressing F4, nothing loads. typing empathy-accounts, nothing loads.
    Going to System -> Preferences -> Messaging and VOIP accounts, nothing loads.
    very odd. not getting any error messages.

    I just booked up the Lubuntu live cd
    (being the closest thing to lxde + ubuntu without reinstalling), installed empathy, same issue. unable to add accounts. very odd

    also tried installing it with aptitude, incase that would make a difference, it didn't :S

    Redownload the latest meverick version, burn on a CD, completely uninstall the empathy application and then reinstall again. Do a reboot and check whether its working. If not I'd be glad to see some error logs!

    Why is this thread marked as [solved]? Still not working in Lubuntu 11.04!
