How to get MSN Working in Empathy IM (Ubuntu) ?

29 Jul 2009

Linux

If you’re upgrading from an old version of Ubuntu to Jaunty (9.04) and using Empathy Instant Messenger, then MSN Client will never work with you and You’ll get a “Connection Error” Message.

To Solve this issue All you have to do is close Empathy and Go to Terminal and reconfigure pymsn to get work again , just like that :

    dpkg-reconfigure python-msn

And then Start Empathy again and your MSN Account will work for you :)
