Thank you for your bug report, it has been sent on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594908

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

Looking at the trace, EmpathyTpContactListPriv seems to be wrong. One
explanation could be that the callback has been called after the TpContactList
has been disposed; but that shouldn't happen as the contact list is passed as a
weak object to tp_connection_get_contacts_by_handle.
Any chance you could reproduce this crash with logs? (EMPATHY_DEBUG=all)

A memory corruption could be another explanation, in which case we'll need
valgrind logs.

It started OK this time around with one of the four accounts I had in there. I added the suspect one from last time and it crashed straight away. The debug logs from empathy are attached.

tghe bug has been fixed upstream now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug is fixed in karmic now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

there is a new duplicate looking similar

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

This bug will be fixed in 2.28.1

[James Cape (jcape)]

Any chance of getting it sooner, this happens on startup, so empathy is effectively unusable for me as a result of this.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package empathy - 2.28.1-1ubuntu1
