Empathy MSN Problem

[peacelake]

I had this problem for several days.

I dual boot so I logged into Windows (When did I last do that?!). My MSN address was ***@yahoo.com. I updated Windows Live and got a Windows Live address ***@live.co.uk

Changed Pidgin account from MSN to WLM. Now works fine

Do you mean you registe a new live messange account and use it instead of using the old account? else how to do it, please explain.

ok try this remove telepathy-butterfly an you should just have telepathy-haze installed try connecting with that

I removed the telepathy-butterfly package and empathy now uses the telepathy-haze library to connect. It works with any account now.

Use pidgin.

Use pidgin.

Yeah, but whatever I do, Pidgin always start with the Buddy List open. I hate that... Now with Empathy's MSN issue out of the way, it suits me just fine

The only solution to it is currently

killall telepathy-butterfly

Then put empathy offline and then make it available again.

i'm using empathy 2.29.90 on 9.10. I have no problems connecting to msn, icq, aim, yahoo.

I can't seem to get the msn video call to work. when trying to place a call the video chat window comes up, my camera turns on, and I see myself. However, the call never seems to get through to the other person. They receive no indication a video call is trying to initiate. Same is true when the other person using windows xp, windows live messenger trys to place a video, i get no indication a call is trying to be intiated.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
