I had resolved this problem in 11.10 a few days ago by manually updating the url in /usr/share/pyshared/papyon/service/description/AB/__init__.py from this:
url = "http://contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"; to this: url = "http://local-sn.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"; Many others on ubuntuforums.org suggested that the local-bay address worked for them: url = "http://local-bay.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"; However I tried this URL and was still unable to connect. Now that I am using the local-sn address everything is working fine. After I updated this morning (in update-manager) I found that I was unable to connect again and the URL in this file was changed back to the local-bay address. I can only assume the update changed the URL, but unfortunately it still does not work for me. As soon as I changed it to the local-sn address and restarted empathy my contacts loaded right up. Is the URL somehow different by geography? I am in the USA and the local-bay address failed for both me and another individual in Canada. It seems to work fine for others throughout the world however. But I don't think this is quite solved yet since applying the update today actually broke empathy for me (only after I had manually fixed it, of course). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887349 Title: Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/papyon/+bug/887349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
