Does it means that https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/333675 is finally fixed?

[Hussain (hussain-mutawa)]

Actually,

I had a nightmare with ubuntu 10.10, the CPU gets extremely very hot,
and that without any computational effort, just web surfing cause the
cpu to get at 80 C , while it is critical at 90 C.

I have tried every possible way, needless to say, I even tried to use
another kernel, which resulted in a damage to the boot sector of my
hard drive

I had to low level format it, I have lost all of my data, and decided
to go back to ubuntu 9.04 which is stable ( the CPU temp is still high
about 60 C ) but better,

I have had a bad experience with ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and lastly with
10.10 , everytime I decide to upgrade I endup with 9.04 again

so, the problem was not fixed but I have had enough with ubuntu, I use
the same laptop with Windows operating system and never get to 54 C ,
so can you help with this issue?

thanks

Hussain

Hi Hussein and Omer,

Could you please specify which gstreamer package you installed?

Ubuntu Software Centre shows a long list of gstreamer packages, including 100 technical items. I have installed most of the technical items except those ending in '-doc' but I still can't get Empathy to connect to a video call with Windows Live Messenger.

I am using:
a) Ubuntu Maverick 10.10
b) Empathy 2.32.1

My friend's laptop is using:
a) Windows Live Messenger 2011 (Build 15.4.3508.1109)

Problems encountered:
1. Windows Live Messenger (WLM) can initiate a video call with Empathy, which results in Empathy 'ringing' and allowing me to Answer or Reject the call. When I push Answer, I receive the error message that indicates there is no intersection between the codecs on each system.

2. Empathy cannot initiate a call to WLM, as the 'Video Call' (and 'Audio Call') actions are disabled, i.e. greyed out. There is no indicator in my buddy list to show the WLM contact has audio or video, even though they do.

Could the updated WLM 2011 be the problem? I have another MSN contact in my list who uses Trillian and they correctly show in my buddy list with an audio icon.

Thanks,
Brian.
