[Bug 676828] Re: Contacts does not show up in empathy contact list

 

It seems that most jabber clients are having troubles getting the
contact list from GTalk. So, probably is Google's fault. Here gives some
info:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/chat/thread?tid=4934204c7dcf90f4

Extracted from that link:

Google has changed the way to send/retrieve contact list. Now it sends
contacts with: <ros:query xmlns:ros="jabber:iq:roster"/>, but should do
this with: <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster" /> which is an XMPP standard.
I really don't know why they've changed this...

Title:
  Contacts does not show up in empathy contact list

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  This mostly happens when empathy starts on ubuntu startup, when
  opening empathy it shows no contacts in a contact list. It does not
  show anything with 'Show offline contacts'. Restarting empathy is the
  only solution that works (sometimes even that doesn't work).
