Gnome has RESOLVED this bug as "NOTGNOME" - and they understand this to be an Ubuntu apparmor problem.
I also have this bug. My setup: - default user set to auto-login - empathy added to Startup Applications Problem: - "Cannot contact Account Manager" dialog, as reported. - "Unlock Keyring" dialog waiting for password I use to have this (or similar?) empathy bug a few Ubuntu releases back, and later also sent the bug upstream. I can't find the original LP or bugzilla.gnome bug - but it seems quite similar. (the keyring was not automatically unlocked during auto-login... this seems to be causing the problem) I remember it having to do with both setting the default Ubuntu user account to auto-login, and having Empathy in your startup applications. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992619 Title: Empathy does not login - Error contacting the Account Manager Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework: New Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Unknown Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As soon as I launch empathy, I get the following error message: --------------- Error contacting the Account Manager There was an error while trying to connect to the Telepathy Account Manager.
