WOW!!! I got the medicine..
Look at this page: http://hardik.in/2010/01/18/empathy-is-now-working- with-gnome-ppp-pppd-connection-on-ubuntu-9-10/ I'll paste the words here for your convenience: " Launch Gnome Configuration Editor (gconf Editor) :: ALT + F2 -> gconf-editor Search for “Empathy” :: Ctrl + F -> “Empathy” In List of search result, look for “/apps/empathy” In List of keys, look for “use_conn” Uncheck checkbox of “use_conn” value and close it " And now it is working perfectly with no problems with my wvdial.. And also this page says how to connect using network-manager; he provides a new modem-manager. I didn't tried it yet.. http://hardik.in/2010/03/20/ubuntu-9-10-reliance-netconnect-broadband-modem-huawei-ec1260-networkmanager-works-out-of-the-box/ -- Empathy not connecting automatically and the status drop down is disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
