Bug Description

I'm trying to use Polari IRC app on Ubuntu 20.04 (in virtualbox). I'm not able to join any chatroom because the 'Join' button stays greyed out when a chatroom is selected. This is same for any server/chatroom I could check. Screenshot attached.

If I run polari from terminal, I get following error.

svinoba@focal:~$ polari

(polari:21203): Gjs-WARNING **: 16:31:29.656: JS ERROR: TelepathyGLib.Error:

start@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/package.js:206:5

However, if I search for telepathy and glib combination, I get following.

gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12/focal,now 0.24.1-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  GLib Telepathy connection manager library (GObject-Introspection)

libtelepathy-glib0/focal,now 0.24.1-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  Telepathy framework - GLib library

Polari works fine on Ubuntu 18.04, Debian Sid and Arch. Haven't tried in Ubuntu 19.10, although the package version in 19.10 seems same as 20.04.
