I would like to know where Empathy stores all my information, so as to be able to back it up and re-use on a different Ubuntu machine.
So far I have found only the conversation logs in ~/.local/share/Empathy
Any idea where the rest is (account information, buddies, favorite rooms, etc?)
From the Empathy FAQ:
Where does Empathy save files (accounts, logs, configuration)?
- Accounts settings are saved in
~/.mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg(except passwords which are stored in gnome-keyring).- New logs (since Empathy 2.31.4) are saved in
~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs- Old logs are saved in
~/.local/share/Empathy/logs/- Empathy configuration is stored in DConf and
~/.config/Empathy/- Avatars are cached in
~/.cache/telepathy/avatars/
Meta-contacts are stored in the file:
~/.local/share/folks/relationships.ini
I could have sworn they were moved to somewhere in ~/.local, but it looks like accounts are still stored in ~/.mission-control. If you also want your saved passwords for accounts, you'll need to copy your GNOME keyring as well, which is in ~/.gnome2/keyrings.
