In this process, I installed +Empathy, a multi-medium instant messenger. When I tried to add an account +however, I ran into a strange issue that gave me very ambiguous errors (which I +unfortunately forgot to copy). After searching around, I stumbled upon +https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96918[this] forum thread that solved +my problem. The issue is that in Arch Linux, installing Empathy doesn't +automagically install telepathy, a framework for real time conversation (the +project page can be found http://www.ohloh.net/p/telepathy[here]). To fix this +issue, we simply need to install telepathy. + +---- +pacman -S telepathy +---- + +And with that, give Empathy a reboot +(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Kfjo3VjU[three times]). I found +unfortunately however that Empathy has a process that likes to hang behind even +after quitting the application. Just run an ol' *ps -ef | grep empathy* and +kill the pid and you should be golden. + + +Category:Linux +Category:Linux_Applications + + +// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
