I confirm that if I connect the my pc at home, where there aren't proxy, empathy starts to work as soon as I disable proxy system wide. I think that the problem is more serious, because I've noticed that also gnome extension installation (from https://extensions.gnome.org/) doesn't work if I'm using the proxy.
P.S: the proxy address that I'm using is working, because I use it in Firefox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997017 Title: Empathy not connecting to Gtalk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/997017/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
