Mission control log with tp-salut connection failure

Telepathy-Salut is unable to connect. When enabled it just continuously attempts to connect, and never succeeds.

telepathy-salut-0.4.0-2.fc15.i686
telepathy-glib-0.14.1-1.fc15.i686
telepathy-mission-control-5.7.7-1.fc15.i686
telepathy-logger-0.2.6-1.fc15.i686
telepathy-salut-0.4.0-2.fc15.i686
empathy-2.91.91.1-2.fc15.i686

At first, I thought it might be due to SElinux, but I was unable to find any selinux warnings that were blocking tp-salut. Anyway, here is the attached tp-mission-control debug log.

Comment 1 Brian Pepple 2011-03-29 17:03:48 UTC

Did a little more investigation on this, and the bug is due to avahi not being enabled by default in f15. Closing as NOTABUG, since this is a distro-specific bug.

Comment 2 Will Thompson 2011-03-30 03:50:02 UTC

Reopening: Salut shouldn't sit there forever, it should fail gracefully, with an error code that makes MC not try to reconnect it without user intervention and which allows Empathy to show something useful to the user.
