Thanks for talking time to report this bug and help make ubuntu better. Can you please try to remove all accounts in empathy and then remove ~/.config/Empathy ~/.gconf/empathy ~/.mission-control and then reboot and try to add the irc account if that does not help can you please try to install the latest version of empathy from this ppa https://launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive/ppa and see if that solves the problem for you. If that dont work either please open empathy and when you are not able to connect to the irc open debug window in empathy from help>Debug and select IDLE there and save the log to an output file and link it here so that we can take a look at what is causing the problem. Thanks in advance
