you already reported that initial account creation defaults to facebook bug 539248 and it was marked "wont fix" so I am going to edit this bug report for only about "initial account creation window gives no indication of successful account creation"
** Summary changed: - [Lucid] empathy-accounts gives no indication of successful account creation + initial account creation window gives no indication of successful account creation ** Description changed: Binary package hint: empathy Doing some focused desktop testing on Lucid Desktop 32bit. I tried creating accounts for Facebook, AIM, Yahoo! and GoogleChat by running the "Messaging and VOIP accounts" item from the System/Preferences menu. - The account details screen defaults to "Facebook" not to a blank entry - or an entry saying "Choose Account Type" or something like that... - - So I entered Facebook account info, selected Yes to indicate I wanted to + I entered Facebook account info, selected Yes to indicate I wanted to enter other accounts and then hit forward. Instead of getting a message telling me that my Facebook credentials had been successfuly authenticated and the account was set up, I was unceremoniously dumped back to the Account creation page, again showing Facebook as the type. So, I re-entered account information thinking that I had messed up, or there was some sort of problem. I did this several times before I realized that I was not getting any success message. empathy-accounts needs to either popup or present a Success or Failure page when creating accounts to ensure users know that they don't have to re-enter the same login info again. Also, the protocol/account type should either be blank at startup or should show a message like "Choose Chat Account Type" instead of defaulting to Facebook (the first one in the list in the dropdown for that object) - --- + --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100315) NonfreeKernelModules: wl Package: empathy 2.29.92-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-16.25-generic Tags: lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-16-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #613014 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613014 ** Also affects: empathy via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613014 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- initial account creation window gives no indication of successful account creation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
