Description of problem: I installed f16 recently... but i'm unable to get empathy up and running. I did... in fact, copy over some .config and .local setting from my previous system (also running f16) so maybe i have some stale files mucking things up. I installed empathy-3.2.2-1.fc16.x8664 and telepathy-idle-0.1.10-1.fc16.x8664. When i launch empathy, i see the Account Assistant screen. I choose 'No, i want a new account' But the only option i have available in 'what kind of chat account do you want' is 'jabber'. The selection box shows no other options. When i set up my jabber account to test anyway, i get 'failed to connect' network error.' Debug log can be found here (live for one month): http://pastebin.com/G57eX5YT
If someone could just tell me how to really force a fresh install of empathy; ie, clear out all previous config files and so forth, to see if perhaps it's not one of my stale configs, i'd give that a shot. I've tried turning off firewall and selinux to be sure it's not one of those; didn't help.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
