I'm not sure why you come to that conclusion, but I always authorize the accounts whenever requested (the top right menu button turns red). In fact, I repeatedly authorized and unauthorized the gtalk account when debugging the problem, trying to make Empathy show the contacts.
In any case the problem seems mitigated, it happens infrequently now (and never does if I just use the messaging icon workaround). Sorry if it's still a problem on my end. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095068 Title: Empathy: No contacts on gtalk: 'status is set to offline' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1095068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
