Title:
empathy-accounts corrupted and now crashing/broken
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
For some time now, my Empathy window has always shown up with an error
about failing to connect to my Google Talk account. When I look at the
Accounts dialog, I saw TWO copies of my Google Talk account. If I
removed one of these by clicking the [-] icon, then the error message
would go away and everything work work fine.
Except that every time I started Empathy, the duplicate account would
reappear.
Today, I thought I would be clever. I renamed the duplicate account by
hovering over its name-text in the Accounts box, and adding some
random text at the end of the name. Then I clicked the [-] to remove
the duplicate account.
This time, when the Accounts dialog closed, there were no online
contacts shown. When I attempted to open the Accounts box now, nothing
appears.
When I type 'empathy-accounts', nothing shows, and the command exits
silents after about 20 seconds.
Now my Empathy is completely broken -- I can't see a way to refresh it
back to no accounts again. Where are the Accounts stored? How can I
clean them out? What's causing this crashed/broken behaviour?
I'm on latest Empathy with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
