Hi all,
I've just performed an installation of arch with lxde and gnome for desktop environments. I do have previous experience with arch (running lxde and awesome at different stages), but it was roughly a year ago, so I'm a bit rusty.
Anyway, I've just installed empathy as part of gnome 2.30, and whilst the gui on empathy itself works fine, the gui on empathy-accounts will not load - whether I open it from the System-->Preferences-->IM and VOIP Accounts option, whether I choose the relevant option from empathy or whether I start it from the command line. Furthermore, the command-line produces no useful debug info when started manually in this fashion.
If it helps, gnome is running through consolekit (I'm assuming that's what the exec ck-launch-session gnome-session in my ~./xinitrc means).
It doesn't seem like an issue with the keyring either, I can store passwords for other software.
Any ideas (aside from rolling back to Empathy 2.28 or using Pidgin)? Help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Fabian.

woops, turns out the problem was that i had no telepathy backends installed.
Problem was fixed by:
pacman -Ss telepathy
and installing one of the backends from that list.

Hi, nice to hear that it's working for you now, but I have the same issue and I couldn't get it working by installing telepathy-*. I installed all packages that were returned by pacman -Sqs telepathy and still don't get a gui to add my account details. Any suggestions?

relogin or do killall -HUP dbus-daemon
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hey thanks, just wanted to say that a reboot solved the problem, but you were even a bit faster. Thanks!
