Empathy Will not add Accounts

[Druciferre]

Binary package hint: empathy

I just upgraded to Ubuntu Karmic Koala, and I cannot get Empathy to save my account settings. I have tried using the Import from Pidgin wizard which has my accounts setup and is working fine. I have also tried adding the accounts manually. But when I click on Connect, it does nothing, and when I use the "Welcome to Empathy" wizard with the "Yes, I'll enter my account details now" option, I enter the information and it says "The Supplied CM parameters were not valid." and if you hit the back button it just produces more back buttons on the dialog (see attached picture). I am really wondering why the Ubuntu developers scrapped Pidgin for Empathy. I'm finding Empathy to be completely unusable. The only thing I'm seeing it has over Pidgin is Audio/Video chat. Which I haven't gotten that to work either...

The error message that is attached in the image comes when the keyring window appears and it is not touched for a few seconds(15+ secs) then this error message appears. when you create an account do you see the gnome keyring window?

I am running Lucid Alpha3 LiveCD and I am having the same problem problem than Druciferre
I tried adding different accounts, MSN, Jabber, Gtalk, but I always get the same parsing error as shown in the picture.

I think its casued by the gnome-keyring bug that have arised recently with the update of gnome-keyring from git.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue should be fixed with

libgnome-keyring (2.29.4git20100224-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New git snapshot:
    - "When no default keyring exists, and creating an item, and the default
       keyring was the desired keyring for the item, prompt to create a new
       "default keyring." (lp: #525542)
