Description Christopher Beland 2011-02-25 15:45:26 UTC
Usually when I start up empathy, I get a contact list which is pre-populated with all the employees in the company.  (I assume our Jabber server has some sort of LDAP integration.)  But maybe once every 15 startups or so, I get a mostly empty list.

I also get a "People Nearby" list, I assume from Bonjour clients on the same subnet.  When the Jabber-based list doesn't work, People Nearby *does* work.  (Though it only has a few people on it, so it's not useful for intracompany communication.)

Restarting Empathy causes the contact list to be repopulated properly.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:12:12 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
