** Description changed: Binary package hint: empathy I tried to join an AIM buddy chat in Empathy using the Room menu's "Join..." option. In the Join dialog box I was asked for the server and room. The "server" is not applicable for AIM buddy chat at any rate as chats are only identified by the room name. Leaving the server blank and filling in the room field un-greyed out the "Join" button. However, clicking the Join button closed the dialog box and did nothing. + Empathy also silently fails to display invitations to buddy chat rooms + sent by other AIM users. + This happened in both 9.10 and in 10.04 testing. Apparently Empathy's AIM module has no support for AIM buddy chat. Either the Join dialog should be disabled for AIM accounts entirely, or attempting to join a chat room with an AIM account selected should produce an error message. + + AIM's network frequently has temporary outages and fails to connect + people to buddy chat rooms, in addition to any problems a specific + client might have with the protocol. So, the current behavior does not + make it clear that the problem is with Empathy and not with AIM or the + specific chat room.
