Empathy - "No reason specified"!!!

English Applications
#1

Hi,

just got to work a couple of hours ago and when i booted my portable, started the usual apps (empathy is one of the first), i could not connect to h0tm4il and the error is something iv never seen before:

"No reason specified"

OpenSuse 11.3_x64
Empathy 2.30.1
Yes, it is the correct password.

Any ideas?

#2

If you’d see the loads of hacked hotmail accounts in my contact list, that’s the first thing you would think of. Can you still logon to it from the webinterface?

#3

hey,

i thought about that to, this is an account i have now since 2002 if im not mistaken so, im not really a noob with msn jacking, but yes i can still login.
hmm…if it is a security issue…hmm…

it could be a closed door on the gateway right? what you think?

cat /etc/passwd doesn’t reveal a suspicious user…

firewall log is kinda hard to analyze…i do not know how to interpret the flags.
it could be a closed door on the gateway right? what you think? any ideas?

btw, i changed the m5n pass and everything seams to be ok so far…don’t know…

I’m suddenly having this problem as well. I cannot login to MSN with empathy with “No reason specified.”

Found the fix in the bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/papyon/+bug/663670/comments/15

After making the changes, I deleted the pyc file (sudo rm RequestMultipleSecurityTokens.pyc) and restarted empathy, and it now connects to MSN fine.

Oops. In openSUSE, RequestMultipleSecurityTokens.py is at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/papyon/service/description/SingleSignOn/

#11

Alright so which of the two files need removed or both. I removed them both because I interpreted that as the solution.

#12

RequestMultipleSecurityTokens.py is the file you need to modify, and RequestMultipleSecurityTokens.pyc file is the file you can delete. .py is the python source file and .pyc is compiled file, so if you delete .pyc file, next time .py runs, .pyc will be automatically generated.
