I see myself as a buddy (jabber/gtalk)

[Ara Pulido]

Binary package hint: empathy

With the latest karmic updates, when I log to my Gtalk/Jabber account, I can see myself (the same account) as a connected buddy.

If I start a conversation, then, the conversation frame enters an infinite loop and it is not possible to close it. You have to exit Empathy.

Thank you for your bug report and helping to make ubuntu better. Please gather information in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingEmpathy and attach it to this bug report.

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

Logs attached. I hope that helps.

Seeing yourself in your buddy list isn't really a bug as, according to your logs, you are actually in your own list.

But Empathy shouldn't be confused when you try to open a chat with yourself. Which version of Empathy are you using? Could you retry using a recent one (as the one in Karmic or in the Telepathy PPA)?

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

I am using the last version in Karmic: 2.27.5-0ubuntu1

[Luca Cavalli (luca-cavalli)]

Same here with Jaunty and Empathy 2.27.92 from Telepathy PPA.
The only difference is that I can chat with myself...

[Martin Hamel (martin-komunide)]

Same here in Karmic.

Responding to Guillaume: I don't know if I'm in my own list. I'm not in my list with the other clients. And I can't remove myself from the list. So I really think it's not normal.

Martin Hamel has it right. This is no feature.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sumana Harihareswara (sumanah)]

Upstream is working on this.

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Upstream bug has been marked as duplicate of bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604181, which is now fixed upstream.

Another one issue here- Ubuntu Karmic Netbook Remix, can see myself in Google Talk contact list on Empathy.
Funny thing is that it happened suddenly, without any updates or changes. And was not noticed before.
