I've got the same trace as Peter in comment #15 I have empathy 2.28.1 I started to get this crashes (not being able to run empathy) a couple of weeks ago, but I don't remember exactly when. My account was automatically imported from pidgin and it worked with empathy without problems until the crash stopping me from starting empathy appeared.
What is worse is the fact that, even in a newly created account, completely empty (no files whatsoever in that /home/user directory) the empathy still crashes at startup. THIS shows me that the bug is not related to my personal settings, it will happen for every user of my computer (fortunately I'm the only one using it) I was able to make it display the list of accounts ($ empathy -a) and they were correct. But I crashed even when I asked it to start without connecting ($ empathy -n) -- empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450290 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
