@bwat47 & @Donato Roque: I have found out that bug with "No online contacts" is connected to another crash (segmentation fault) with different conditions that this bug has, but I'm not able to reproduce it reliably. Here you can found incomplete tries to report that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1130219 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1117583
What I know, empathy's GUI is killed but there are still running some parts (telepathy?) in background and you are still connected to working services without empathy's GUI, which is obviously not able to "re-bind" or restart whole "process hierarchy" and cannot display online contacts. So, please, if you found out how to reproduce this, It would be nice if you could open one of that bugs (or another if it is not that crash you are experiencing). Empathy's development state is critical, I also experience another reported crashes with it. Unreliable and insecure. But it is not moving anywhere, unfortunately. -- 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/1116281 Title: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in empathy_account_widget_apply_and_log_in() Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This crash occurred while I try to enable 1 chat account in telepathy account manager ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu12 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-4.8-generic 3.8.0-rc6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-4-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Feb 5 19:11:07 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-control-center InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-03-30 (312 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: gnome-control-center credentials SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x87c4bb65 <empathy_account_widget_apply_and_log_in+21>: mov 0x1c(%esi),%eax PC (0x87c4bb65) ok source "0x1c(%esi)" (0x0000001c) not located in a known VMA region (needed readable region)! destination "%eax" ok SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-control-center StacktraceTop: empathy_account_widget_apply_and_log_in () from /usr/lib/empathy/libempathy-gtk-3.6.3.so ??
