@ubuntudevelopers: Why are you introducing new features (e.g. "Online Sources") and switch over all the services (Empathy, worked fine before) and once a bug (like this) appears, it is ignored? Innovation is fine and desirable, but latest Ubuntu versions (even trusty - a LTS!) are some kind of patchwork. There are several bugs that need to be fixed or (more important) features that have to be considered for reverting.
I am now using pidgin, because I can't get empathy going. There is NO chance. And that's what I'm talking about. Bugs like these are real blockers! Think about that: Who will buy an Ubuntu phone if Ubuntu is a name that is connected to a buggy desktop system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164939 Title: Google Talk account in empathy refuses to sign in Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got 3 Google accounts in my online accounts. Empathy refuses to sign in with them citing "Google Talk account requires authorisation" for all three. However, on clicking the button that opens Online Accounts, nothing abnormal shows. Switching the account off, then back on has no impact. There is no option to reauth the accounts, which sometimes appears - when it does, I get the google login screen and then it works, usually until the next reboot. http://pastebin.com/RNHDKfSx is the pastebin of the Auth log from empathy-debugger To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1164939/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
