This is an XMPP issue, not just googletalk. I am seeing this using jabber between Jaunty's pidgin and empathy on both karmic and lucid.
The upstream bug says (from Will Thompson): "This was a bug/limitation in Gabble. I fixed it in telepathy-gabble 0.9.3: • Allow sending chat state to contacts whose capabilities we don't know, such as invisible Google Talk users (wjt) I didn't realise at the time that it was also an issue for visible Google Talk users: I think they changed the capabilities they report or something. This fix wasn't backported to 0.8.x." So the fix should maybe be backported for lucid, or the new version brought in. ** Summary changed: - Typing notification in empathy doesn't work for google talk contacts + Typing notification in empathy doesn't work for XMPP (google talk and jabber) -- Typing notification in empathy doesn't work for XMPP (google talk and jabber) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399039 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
