Nope. No indicator running whatsoever. But, I've got this working properly on both installs. Two separate sets of issues made this more confusing than it needed to be. I apologize.
Physical machine: uninstalled empathy, removed anything under /home related to empathy, pidgin, haze, purple, mission-control. Reinstalled empathy. Working as expected now. Virtual machine: Empathy was being blocked via default port 1863 by the firewall at work. Fortunately I am the sysadmin. Most IM clients can dynamically use port 80 these days, so I was a little slow on this. After waiting about 3-4 minutes from launching empathy, the panel icon eventually appeared and I could see there was a network problem. Thanks for staying with me on this.Now, on to actually using this thing. -- Empathy is unusable if indicator applet is not on the panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
