Description Robert Hancock 2015-12-18 19:42:18 UTC

Description of problem:
Empathy is apparently supposed to automatically change your status to Away if the screen is locked or the screen blanking kicks in. However, in current versions this does not seem to occur.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
empathy-3.12.11-1.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lock screen
2. Check IM status from another machine
3.

Actual results:
Status is supposed to change to Away and go back to previous setting when screen unlocked

Expected results:
No change in status

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 14:21:14 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This still seems to be an issue in F25, even though the referenced GNOME Desktop bug has been marked as fixed. I verified that the org.gnome.Empathy autoaway setting was set to the default value of true. However, locking the screen still doesn't appear to set away status.

For the record, this may or may not still be an issue but I'm no longer using Empathy so I can't verify.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 11:08:52 UTC

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
