Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

I installed "extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects" but I can't find any new account to add- There's no MSN, no ICQ, no nothing, just the ones that I got out of the box..
What have I missed?
I'm looking in settings voip and IM accounts, btw.

I'm stucked with the same problem. Must be a bug within the actual version of those "extra plugins". Can anyone confirm this?

Me to !!!

I had 0.4 version and it was working perfectly.

But with the new 0.5 version .... kaput ... no MSN on the accounts:(

I have same problem and then some.

My whole conversation program has broken. Accounts are there, but there way to change the status or get any kind of response from these accounts (skype, gTalk, msn, ovi).

Any suggestions how to fix?

Having some problems as well, not able to add new accounts that are supported by this plugin. Seems to be related to 0.5 version, the previous was working fine.

Re: Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

I (think I) removed all extra protocols and got my conversation working again. I guess this is related to that 0.5 version.

Re: Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

I deleted all the extra protocols and didn't do anything for me :(

I post this in another thread.

I had butterfly plugin. With the update it didn't work anymore. I unistalled it and tried to reinstall it (New Version Msn Protocol 0.7 354k KB).
But it said me I need python-farsight!

Can anyone help me?

Don't use extras-devel or don't complain when things are broken. (in another words: wait)

Re: Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

I'll wait. Thanks

same problem here i only have extras testing. updated the msn plugin, at first msn carried on working however i couldnt change any of the account settings for it. so i tried uninstalling, this allowed uninstall but i still had msn options on the phone. i then tried the other protacals app this didnt work none of the extra protacals appeared i uninstalled all protacals however when trying to uninstall "pidgin extra protacals (bonjour and sametime)" i get application in use uninstall failed. this is with pidgin uninstalled and no other chat apps installed. can anyone help me uninstall this? might be the reason for my msn issues.

it does seem the reacent msn update has caused a few problems. has anyone filed a bug? thanks

Thanks a lot! Suffered for a week now, back online)

Re: Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

I just installed this yesterday and I see two plugins for MSN.... MSN and MSN (Haze). What's the difference and which one should I use ?

Re: Installed extra protocol plugins for conversations and contects but can't add any new IM account
 

A bit of necromancy perhaps, but I seem to have a similar problem now. I updated my contacts plugin to 0.7 and now I can't access settings for my IM/VoIP accounts. Neither can I add any new. Clicking the VoIP/IM accounts in settings simply does nothing.

Already configured accounts are working properly. So its just the settings screen that refuse to launch.

Things tested:
*Install even later version (0.8 from... was it in testing?)
This produced no change in behaviour at all.

*Uninstall all conversation plugins (Except Pidgin extra Protocols Sametime and Bonjour, as these refuse to uninstall due to other dependencies, despite everything else I can find that should be related is removed).
With all these removed I can again access my IM/VoIP settings. But, I can't use MSN for instance of course since the support it now gone...

*Reinstall Extra protocol plugins for Conversation and Contacts 0.8.
This immediatley reactivates my MSN-account (The settings are saved even through uninstall. Guess I would have to purge to remove these?) and also reintroduces the problem where I can't access the IM/VoIP settings.

Any clues people? Next on my todo list is try and uninstall and reinstall an earlier version (0.6 then I suppose?) and se if that will at least let me modify my accounts. Will be happy for any suggestions on how to proceed beside using an older version (if even that works).


---SOLVED---
Seems libpurple caused some conflicts in the background. Couldn't find it listed in App-Manager, but since that bonjour package gave listed a dependency to something with version 2.6.3 i ran dpkg -l | grep 2.6.3 and that showed me some libpurple packages. Removed those with apt-get remove (was one for the bonjour, sametime thing. And one more "libpurple0" for the actual lib itself).

Then I fetched and installed "Extra protocol plugins for Conversations and Contacts 0.8" through App Manager again, and now all seems to work as expected. It did give me some grief with my MSN(Haze) account. It was still listed, but unable to connect. Closer inspection showed it had lost the username, so I had to remove the account and add it again, since the phone won't let me edit the username field. Thankfully it then connected properly and it had no ill effects on my many merged contacts.

Perhaps this wall of text can be helpful to someone...
