How to backup empathy settings and chat history?

[helloworld1]

I have tried to migrate my empathy settings and chat history to another machine.
I copied .config/apps/empathy .local/share/empathy .mission-control .gconfig/app/empathy
But the new empathy do not recognize these settings. What am I missing?
Thanks.

I think you have the correct ones.

perhaps just try coping one at a time. Start with just the chat history and see if it recognises that?

Have a good google perhaps?

I have googled around, but no successful method.
Maybe it changed MC4 to MC5 so the copying does not work.

I think using pidgin is the only answer to this question. It should only backup .purple..

"locate empathy" does not show any "config" folder for empathy here but it shows "~/.gconf/apps/empathy"(a.k.a. /home/[user]/.gconf/apps/empathy) but no "/.config"

Are you putting those in the right folder?

Do a "locate empathy | less" to see what directories it shows you.

Well other then that you could try creating some accounts in empathy and see what it generates and compare to the ones you have and see what the differences are.

I was able to locate empathy chat logs in following location:

~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/

Hope this would help someone else :-)
