I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 beta2 and I experienced this bug when activating the "show disconected contacts" with my Google Talk account online.
I'm attaching the crash info to help trace this issue. ** Attachment added: "crash info for this bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/564670/+attachment/2535360/+files/_usr_bin_empathy.1000.crash -- 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/564670 Title: empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in free() Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy Tried to initiate a video chat with a gtalk contact.
