Empathy logs in Ubuntu

Empathy logs your conversation by default and it seems to store its log in different locations between different releases? on ubuntuforum thread people found it under:
~/.gnome2/Empathy/logs
~/.local/share/Empathy/logs
~/.local/share/empathy


On my Ubuntu 10.10 I found them here:

~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs

Ubuntu 10.10 on Acer AspireOne 522

quite a few issues with Ubuntu 10.10 on AOD522


Problem #1 - it keeps hanging after login:
disable the atl1c driver and update the initramfs image:
add in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf this line
blacklist atl1c
update-initramfs -u

Problem #2 - getting AMD video driver to work:

sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/maverick
apt-get install -y debhelper dh-modaliases libqtgui4 execstack
sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid
aticonfig --initial
aticonfig --resolution=0,1280x720

Problem #3 - speaker doesn't turn off after headset plugged in:

apt-get install pavucontrol
/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop,dell-vostro position_fix=0,1

If you don't like the new interface with mutter, you can get the old netbook-launcher back:
apt-get install netbook-launcher-efl

USVN with Active Directory

to make USVN's LDAP working with Active Directory was tricky, use the following in config.ini

alwaysUseDatabaseForLogin = "admin"

authAdapterMethod = "ldap"

ldap.options.host = "domain.com"

ldap.options.port = "389"

ldap.options.username = "CN=username,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com"

ldap.options.password = "password"

ldap.options.useStartTls = "0"

ldap.options.useSsl = "0"

ldap.options.bindDnFormat = "%s"

ldap.options.bindRequiresDn = "1"

ldap.options.baseDn = "DC=domain,DC=com"

ldap.options.accountCanonicalForm = "0"

ldap.options.allowEmptyPassword = "0"

ldap.options.optReferrals = "0"

ldap.options.accountDomainName = ""

ldap.options.accountDomainNameShort = ""

ldap.options.accountFilterFormat = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%s))"

ldap.createGroupForUserInDB = "1"

ldap.createUserInDBOnLogin = "1"
