Please provide indicator-applet support in empathy

[none]

The Empathy IM application does not seem to be supported by the indicator applet. Such support would be nice to have.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Nothing to be done in the indicator applet for this.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

did you send it upstream too?

[Hooman Baradaran (hoomanb)]

This bug is back in 2.27.4 .

[Hooman Baradaran (hoomanb)]

The bug is back - Version 2.27.4

[Vish (vish)]

Still present in empathy 2.27.5-0ubuntu1

Nominated for Karmic , since empathy is now the default IM client

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Aren't we in feature freeze now?

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

Yes we are, but this is actually a regression for our default IM client (even though packages changed). It is planned to be fixed before the beta.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Thanks for the information Ken

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Working on updating this patch to the latest empathy

[Vish (vish)]

Robert Ancell , could you also look into Bug #409828 , which is about empathy showing wrong icon in notifications.
We need to patch it to use "notification-message-im" icon instead of "im-message-new".
Thanks!

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I am getting crashes here and it isn't hiding the indicator, please don't upload just yet. I am working on it.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

I can't reproduce the crashes but there is a glib warning:

The warning is still there, but the critical and the crashers are fixed. We should get this uploaded and get more people using it ASAP.

[Ernst (ernst-blaauw)]

I have Empathy installed on Jaunty using this repository:
https://launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive/ppa

The indicator applet does not synchronize the user status between Empathy and the applet (it stays on offline). Is this fix also backported to this ppa?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

There's something wrong with the implementation: the indicator icon
does not change, but the new message is listed in the popup menu (but
it has the wrong place, because it's over evolution and under the
separator).
Is this a problem in the indicator applet?

[Fabio Rafael Rosa (rafaelfdr)]

Empathy is showing this bug again at current version.
I have a fresh install of karmic from alpha 6, up to date.
Indicator applet shows a gray icon, and all status change is disabled.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

The status change items aren't in the messaging menu, it is in the indicator-session-applet (fusa replacement). The status changes being broken is related to changing from mission-control-4 to mission-control-5. There should be a release of indicator-session on Sept 25th with that fix.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Closing empathy task again.

[Jeremy Nickurak (nickurak)]

So, as an empathy user, should I have an Indicator Applet, or an Indicator Applet Session, or both? Should I automatically have something changed when I upgrade to karmic, or is manual intervention required?

[Ruben Verweij (ruben-verweij)]

I am also wondering: it should be fixed (indicator session) but it
doesn't work for me.
Do we have to be patient or does this require more tinkering?

I installed the update, when starting empathy the indicator-session applet recognizes the status okay. But I am not able to change it from within indicator-session and if I change it in empathy, the change isn't reflected in indicator-session.
Also, the indicator session applet crashed on startup, but I was unable to send an apport report.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

Please comment on bug 427643 instead, that isn't related to this bug. Also please note your versions of indicator-session and indicator-messages.

Thanks

[Ernst (ernst-blaauw)]

If Empathy uses the indicator-applet, it is not possible to answer a call: there is no accept button. See also bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/440865.

[Rykel from Singapore (rykel98)]

Hi,

I used to see Empathy showing up in Indicator-Applet, but not anymore.

Currently running Indicator-Applet 0.1 and Empathy 2.28.1.1 on Ubuntu Karmic. I also believe my Empathy is downloaded from ppa:telepathy.

Thanks for helping, and let me know how I can help too!

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

Indicator support for Empathy is a distro patch for ubuntu, so the version in ppa:telepathy doesn't support the messaging indicator. You will need to switch back to the default version in karmic to get that.

[Jan Schürmann (visionfactory.net)]

how do i switch back? i've deleted the ppa:telepathy and then uninstalled all empathy packages completely. but if i now want to install empathy, Synaptic says:

empathy:
depends on: libempathy-gtk28, but it will not be installed
depends on: libempathy30, but it will not be installed

what i have to do?

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

RUSirius: that means that there are either earlier or later version still installed on your machine. In this case I'm going to assume the latter. Once you remove the later versions it should install ok.

[Jan Schürmann (visionfactory.net)]

ok, i uninstalled the remaining telepathy packages and install then works just fine, now i've Empathy back in the indicator-applet.
thanks
