I made some additionnal testing. First I removed Empathy by running "sudo apt-get purge empathy*", then, I removed all hidden folder called "empathy" in my home, and I restarted the PC.
Reinstalled Empathy with the software center, run it, reconfigured the online accounts and the result is the same, empathy doesn't see anything. I attached the debugger output and the terminal Empathy trace. What is interesting is the last debugger message: "empathyDispatcher-DEBUG: 02/04/2013 09:02:57.321650: empathy_status_icon_new: Not started with session, showing contact list" which shows, I guess, that Empathy doesn't work with an Active Directory session. ** Attachment added: "Empathy debugger" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1083497/+attachment/3514126/+files/empathy.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083497 Title: Empathy doesn't detect online accounts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1083497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
