Description of problem: Empathy now launches without crashing but it cannot connect to IRC rooms. It seemed to be attempting to connect without ever succeeding or timing out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into GNOME Shell. 2. Launch Empathy. 3. It does not automatically connect to configured IRC server. 4. Tried to select "Load Favourite Rooms" from the menu. It did not respond to this, either. Actual results: Does not connect to IRC server and load favourite rooms. Expected results: Favourite rooms should be loaded automatically. Additional info: It seemed that the "Find people nearby" functionality was also trying to connect unsuccessfully. I turned this feature off but I still could not connect to IRC.
Left out version number which is: empathy-2.91.90-1.fc15.x86_64
I've noticed, I can not connect to IRC nets requiring a password. Is it the same for you?
Connecting to freenode with password succeeded after today's update.
OK, connecting to freenode using password works now, connecting e.g. to IRCNet without password seems not possible.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
