Ioannis, I had the same issue (Ubuntu 10.04 i386 here). What I did is shut down Empathy, then look for telepathy processes. This shows what I saw:
mymachine$ ps ax |grep telepathy 5081 ? SL 0:03 /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 12370 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze 12371 ? S 0:11 /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-gabble 20761 ? S 0:01 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-butterfly 21656 pts/4 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto telep 25622 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-salut I then killed those, and restarted Empathy. This solved my problem. To answer your question about killing a process by name, use: killall telepathy-butterfly -- MSN connection does not work: Network error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513346 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
