(In reply to comment #6) > Note that in current libpurple, only the MSN prpl can take advantage of this.
Are you trying to set the alias of MSN or non-MSN accounts? If you're trying to set the alias of non-MSN accounts and it doesn't work, that probably means the prpl (libpurple protocol plugin) for that protocol doesn't support setting your own alias yet. As of libpurple 2.7.0, the MSN prpl was the only one to support this. If other prpls are enhanced to work the same way as the MSN one (if that hasn't already been done, it would be a libpurple feature request), then they should work in Haze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404022 Title: Empathy will not save Alias names for Yahoo and ICQ account Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Invalid Status in Telepathy Haze: Won't Fix Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “telepathy-haze” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “empathy” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “telepathy-haze” source package in Maverick: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy When im chatting instead of my Name i see my ICQ number.
