I have the same problem. Mine is not a new installation but an upgrade from 12.04. Empathy had no trouble with Google Chat before the upgrade.
I am using two factor authentication on the Google account. I tried generating a new application key and entered as password but that did not fix the problem. -- 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/1069531 Title: Cannot login to Empathy after setting up Google online account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1069531/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
