Ubuntu 10.4 (64-bit) on Lenovo ThinkPad T400 I'm observing the same problem.
First, I did: 1. Boot the system 2. Logged on the system 3. Configured Jabber and Google Talk account in Empathy 4. Verified Empathy works well and is accessible from the Indicator Applet, Me menu, etc. Next, I did the following: 1. Restarted the system 2. Logged on the system 3. Asked my girlfriend to check if she can see me online on Jabber or Google Talk 4. She confirmed I am NOT online 5. I selected Chat from the Indicator Applet drop-down menu 6. I noticed Empathy initially shows my status as Offline and next connects changing my status to Online 7. My girlfriend confirms I am online. Conclusion: Empathy is not being launched during logging on the system, what the Chat availability from the Indicator Applet or Me menu may suggest. Either it is unintentional and incidental confusion or something is not working well. I am not the only one who's got confused: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451142 -- empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
