When setting the account to use a password to auto-identify with the IRC server, empathy prevents the account from signing in.

[Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs]

I use irc.freenode.net, and when I set the password on the account, it shows a red bar (retry/edit/cancel) in the contacts list, or "grant access" in the accounts list.

Removing the password enables the account.

Hi,

Same happens to me here in 12.10 Quantal.

How can I get the debug log?

I tried it last night, and it just worked... so I don't know whether I've had an updated package, or if it's a first-run-bug or something else... very strange.

There you go. This is my empathy-debugger log on a 64 bits 12.10.

Here is my debugger log (disabled all other accounts, added empathy-debugger to autorun, then rebooted, so hopefully it is full and clean at the same time).
