Hi I have this problem too with oneiric and with precise and with 3.3.4 (from rico ppa). The bug is reproducible (now it happens on my two machines). I dont know how its happens but after some time empathy freezes and i cannot open any windows.
In my machine this are the steps to reproduce: *Open empathy *Leave it open (some hours) *Try to chat and everything is frozen. * Using Gmail, msn, facebook, jabber and people near functionality. (50 contacs +-) with a lot of changes with status per minute. -- 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/922306 Title: empathy is blocked and no new talks opens, you must close and reopen to work Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: empathy is blocked and no new talks opens, you must close and reopen to work ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: empathy 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Jan 26 15:26:27 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/empathy InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) SourcePackage: empathy UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/922306/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
