[Bug 654305] Re: [Maverick] Empathy cannot connect to GMail account

[dave_t_uk]

Yep, same thing for me.  I have never been able to log into my google
account I just get 'authentication falied', within 1second of starting
login attempt.  I don't have an @gmail.com account.  My google sign-in
ID is another email address, but that is how my google account is set
up, and I log into iGoogle that way successfully.

Happy to provide whatever log files, but please give some idea of how to
get 'telepathy-gabble' logs....

locate gabble | grep log
locate telepathy | grep log

Don't show me any files that i can read.  Googling around telepathy-
logger suggests it's a whole api and associated gubbins.  All sounds
marvelous and structured, and just like a computer scientist would like.
But how do I actually get at something where I can, you know, read the
logs?

I'm using empathy 2.32.1

<rant>
I followed these instructions

using-empathy.html

But now every time I do 'sudo apt-get updates' I get this error:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 638ABCA0FA3A1271

Great.  So yet again I've trawled the web and copied and pasted some forum posts into system files, wasted an hour until I got fed up with the cryptic errors, and it still doesn't work.  :(
