Can't add Google Talk Account

[Adam Michael Roach]

Binary package hint: empathy

Adding a Google Talk account is unsuccessful.

It gives me a "Network Error"

I am certain the credentials are correct.

This sounds like an error on Google's side or your network. I can successfully add gtalk accounts. Try again later and google some guides about how to add accounts to Empathy.

I haven't been able to put any Google Talk accounts only since I put the Beta1 on. It was a clean install. I was able to add accounts without problem in Karmic.

error on my part. our releases differ.

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

I'm running the same version now as you, on 10.04 Beta, but with a slightly newer kernel. (2.6.32.16). I can add google talk accounts.

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

older rather....

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

Ok, now using the same kernel. Can you confirm you still have this error now?

Received the following updates today: ibus ibus-gtk libibus1 linux-libc-dev python-ibus

Not sure if they have anything to do with it, but I am able to set up the account as before and connect to Google Talk.
