This happens to me also. And I can add it is not when I disconnect from a VPN, rather than when I connect to it. It may be important that is a VPNC (IPSec) VPN.
As Damien pointed out, Empathy appears as "connected", although no messages come in nor out. Additionally, if one tries to disconnect and reconnect, it takes a long time and finally fails. The steps to reproduce it are: 1.- Connect to Empathy and log in to any account. 2.- Connect to VPN. 3.- Send a message or try to receive one. Empathy no longer function. -- empathy doesn't appear to reconnect after VPN disconnection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566572 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
