I have a somewhat similar problem. For me (Empathy 3.2.0 - Ubuntu 11.10, but it's been like this for a long time) the Messenger for Mac-users appears to be online, and they can talk to me without any problems, but they don't get my messages. When they send me a message, I can respond, and it appears to me as if the message was sent. However, they don't get anything at all.

Whenever my friend connects to MSN via his MSN Messenger for Mac Client (version 8.0.0 (100305) beta). He does not show up in my available contacts list. Other clients appear fine (including Adium). Nothing appears in the empathy logs. In the butterfly log, when he connects, the following appears: papyon/papyon.transport-DEBUG: 28/06/10 11:30:31.287648: <<< NLN NLN [email protected] 1 James 1085280304 2789003324%3a402822192 stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.288594: Traceback (most recent call last): stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.288611: File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/msnp/base.py", line 107, in _dispatch_command stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.300731: handler(command) stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.300757: File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/msnp/notification.py", line 453, in _handle_NLN stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.309107: urllib.unquote(command.arguments[idx])) stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.309132: File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/p2p.py", line 174, in parse stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.309356: raise ParseError('Invalid MSNObject') stderr-ERROR: 28/06/10 11:30:31.309398: papyon.msnp2p.exceptions.ParseError: Invalid MSNObject papyon/papyon.transport-DEBUG: 28/06/10 11:30:31.394395: <<< UBX [email protected] 1 227 [payload] papyon/papyon.transport-DEBUG: 28/06/10 11:30:31.395005: <<< UBX [email protected] 1 238 [payload] papyon/papyon.transport-DEBUG: 28/06/10 11:30:31.395792: <<< UBX [email protected] 1 230 [payload] My system information is as follows: Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Linux noj 2.6.32-22-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 23:14:23 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux empathy: Installed: 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.30.1.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: 2.30.1.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages *** 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages telepathy-butterfly: Installed: 0.5.11-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.5.11-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.5.11-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.5.8-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages python-papyon: Installed: 0.4.8-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.4.8-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.4.8-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.4.6-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-butterfly/+bug/599312/+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
