@colan, I've run into this problem as well. I have only logged in using one computer (ever) and am seeing the same problem as you, where the alias changes back after clicking the 'Close' button.
What is even more troubling is that editing ~/.mission- control/accounts/accounts.cfg to use a different alias/nickname has no effect. When Empathy is restarted, the original alias is back, and is written to that file again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680817 Title: Personal information is not saved between sessions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
