I get this too on Lucid. I tried to give Empathy a week because it's the default, but it's unusable without notifications.
Someone could be trying to talk to me for hours, and I'd have little way of knowing. I don't find out until I manually bring the contact list to the foreground and notice the blinking icon next to their name. Though once the chat window is open, I start getting brief notification bubbles with each incoming message. Even then it's still easy to miss things. -- [Lucid] Empathy notifications don't seem to work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
