Description baikalink 2011-11-09 17:12:49 UTC
Hello,

Since one week, I can't connect to msn via Empathy on Gnome 3.2. It mills, but no connections.

This is, what I have on my machine:

[code][eyome@archbang ~]$ yaourt -a telepathy
1 extra/empathy 3.2.1.2-1 [2,52 M] (gnome-extra) [installed]
    A GNOME instant messaging client using the Telepathy framework.
2 extra/papyon 0.5.5-1 [0,30 M] [installed]
    papyon is the library behind the msn connection manager:
    telepathy-butterfly.
3 extra/python-telepathy 0.15.19-1 [0,12 M] [installed]
    Python libraries for use in Telepathy clients and connection managers
4 extra/telepathy-butterfly 0.5.15-1 [0,07 M] (telepathy) [installed]
    A MSN connection manager for Telepathy
5 extra/telepathy-farsight 0.0.19-1 [0,04 M] [installed]
    A telepathy-backend to use stream engine.
6 extra/telepathy-farstream 0.1.1-1 [0,07 M] [installed]
    A telepathy-backend to use stream engine.
7 extra/telepathy-gabble 0.12.7-1 [0,49 M] (telepathy) [installed]
    A Jabber/XMPP connection manager for Telepathy
8 extra/telepathy-glib 0.16.1-1 [1,19 M] (telepathy) [installed]
    GLib bindings for the Telepathy D-Bus protocol
20 extra/telepathy-logger 0.2.12-1 [0,07 M] [installed]
    Telepathy framework logging daemon
21 extra/telepathy-mission-control 5.9.3-1 [0,17 M] [installed]
A Telepathy component providing abstraction of some of the details of
    connection managers.[/code]


It seems there is an easy correction:
in: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/papyon/service/description/AB/__init__.py

replace:
url = "http://contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

by:
url = "http://local-bay.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

And that's ok! ;-)

Thank you.
