Created attachment 518973 [details] Error dialog shown by Empathy after 20-30 second pause Description of problem: Every time I start Empathy, either from a fresh boot or after coming out of suspend, it renders the main app mostly empty, there is a 20 or 30 second pause, then a dialog pops up, see attached png. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I'll just list some rpm packages I have installed, not sure what's relevant. empathy-3.0.2-3.fc15.i686 $ rpm -qa | grep telepathy telepathy-filesystem-0.0.2-2.fc15.noarch telepathy-butterfly-0.5.15-3.fc15.noarch telepathy-gabble-0.12.2-1.fc15.i686 telepathy-mission-control-5.7.11-1.fc15.i686 telepathy-idle-0.1.9-1.fc15.i686 python-telepathy-0.15.19-3.fc15.noarch telepathy-haze-0.5.0-1.fc15.i686 telepathy-glib-0.14.9-1.fc15.i686 telepathy-logger-0.2.8-1.fc15.i686 telepathy-salut-0.4.0-2.fc15.i686 telepathy-farsight-0.0.16-3.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Empathy 2. Enjoy Actual results: I get the error dialog, click OK, empathy sits there without a connection. Expected results: Empathy should connect to my MSN account, as it did a month or two ago. Additional info: This used to work fine. I run selinux in Permissive mode. Selinux has been little more than a constant pain in my side, always getting in the way of httpd, java, mysql, and other core parts of my day. I've found this error message on a couple of other bugs, e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699157 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698884, but the fix always seems to be related to selinux, and my selinux version is greater than the ones being talked about in those reports. I tried a downgrade today just for the hell of it: Aug 19 10:23:44 Installed: selinux-policy-3.9.16-23.fc15.noarch Aug 19 10:23:55 Installed: selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.16-23.fc15.noarch Still doesn't work. I've tried running wireshark while starting Empathy but I see no network traffic of note during the attempt to contact out. I run with firewall disabled, due to ports being blocked relating to trouble getting selinux policies to work some time ago and having not enabled it again since. I've tried killing all empathy, telepathy, mission-control processes with kill -9 and running empathy from the command line, I get: [neek]$ empathy (empathy:5194): folks-WARNING **: Error preparing Backend 'telepathy': Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
