That sounds like several bugs. What telepathy-mission-control version is this? Did you log out and back in (or reboot) between installing the patched Haze and trying to use it? Since there are no Telepathy contributors with access to a Sametime server (as far as I know), if you want this fixed, I'm afraid you'll need to do some debugging. Sources of information that could be useful include: * Empathy's Debug window (empathy-debugger) * <https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging> * <http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Debugging/> * dbus-monitor The debug logs for both Haze and Mission Control are probably relevant.

That'd be an Empathy feature request: Telepathy doesn't have much control over its account creation UI. If you're giving Empathy a protocol-specific UI for sametime anyway, you could use logic like: * have text-entry boxes for both account and server * if the connection manager claims to support the server parameter, send them as account and server * if the connection manager does not claim to support the server parameter, send ${account}:${server} as the value of the 'account' parameter" and it'd work whether Haze splits them or not. -- 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/954918 Title: Missing "Server" input box for Sametime accounts Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: In Progress Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hi, It is no longer possible to connect to sametime server because there is no "Server" input box undir Sametime accounts. This happened recently and according to a freedesktop.org bug report this happened when libpurple was upgraded from 2.10 to 2.10.1. Here is the explanation from the freedesktop.org bug report: "With the latest version of libpurple (2.10.1) a change was made to the Sametime protocol: + Sametime: - Separate "username" and "server" when adding new Sametime accounts Although at first this seems harmless and only affecting the pidgin client, it seems that telepathy-haze can not handle this separation. When a new account is created for Sametime, the server details are no longer displayed. Also an old account (that has all the details already) no longer works due to the same issue. Adding the missing parameter to the accounts.cfg file (mission-control) causes that this parameter is ignored and removed. Returning to libpurple 2.10.0 resolves the issue and the server can be identified again when the account is created." - Raymond Wooninck https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44631 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: empathy 3.3.90.2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.29-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Mar 14 11:02:27 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: empathy UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-12 (1 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/954918/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
