Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[TLE (k-nielsen81)]

As I already wrote. It has happened to me everytime I have tried to send files to google talk contacts. The steps to reproduce (as already mentioned) are: Open up a chat with a google talk friend, select "Send file", select a file i the dialog and press "Select file", watch how either nothing happens or the program crashes.

However, trying to reproduce it this morning I find that the send file functionality has been disabled. So maybe there is already work in progress on this.

This bug also affects me. I did a clean install of the final version of 12.04 today and the bug is present there also. Whenever I try sending a file to some google contact, the file transfer shows an error, after which it gets cancelled.

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

ok thanks sending it to upstream please subscribe to the bug and make comments.

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

Any chance you could report this gabble crash if it still happens with a recent
version?
reply the developer on the upstream bug
