Just to note that upgrading to the latest Lucid telepathy PPA fixes this (see this Ubuntu forums thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594248). So this suggests that, if it is the GTalk protocol change in comment #24, the telepathy guys have already fixed it.
Other workaround is obviously to switch to Pidgin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676828 Title: Contacts does not show up in empathy contact list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/676828/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
