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... http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html#roster -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676828 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.
