[Solved] fedora 16 empathy can't login MSN (solve the problem that fedora16 cannot log on to MSN)

After installing fedora 16, we found that empathy could not be logged on. According to "killall telepathy-Butterfly" on the Internet, it would not help.

Finally, I found the answer in the GIT repository of papyon (the MSN server has changed)

Http://cgit.collabora.com/git/user/maiku/papyon.git/commit? H = bug-42689 & id = 011201e47004538e732f247bfeb21634c6e1d97f

The abfindall and findmembership requests were getting HTTP 301 permanently moved responses with empty limit nodes. This was causing an assertion when trying to access a nonexistentpart of the specified packet and therefore limit
Log in. This patch replaces occurrences of the obsolete 'contacts .msn.com 'with the preferred address (according to the responses) of 'local -bay.contacts.msn.com '.

This is a discussion on Bugzilla.

This bug seems to have been submitted, and later upgrades should solve this problem.

Solution:

Modify:

3 files under/usr/lib/python2.7/Site-packages:

Note that the three files are different.

--- A/papyon/service/description/AB/_ init _. py
++ B/papyon/service/description/AB/_ init _. py

@-20,7 + 20,7 @ name = "AB" Description = "hotmail address book service"-url = "http://contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx" + url = "http://local-bay.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx" from constants import * diff -- git a/papyon/service/description/sharing/_ init __. py B/papyon/service/description/sharing/_ init __.

After the change is complete, delete the MSN account and add it again. Then, you can log on normally.
