I don't think installing Telepathy is the way to solve the problem. This bug has been detected and reported in LTS version, and since it has been confirmed by many users (and seems to be a possible source for the bug), it should be fixed in LTS version.
I've used Pidgin today and it still works properly so, as Stuart comments, can be an useful workaround while the bug is beeing fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676828 Title: Contacts does not show up in empathy contact list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/676828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
