Empathy online contacts do not show up
I had also this issue. It happend most if you start empathy on start-up with empathy -h
.
I solved it to add killall empathy && empathy -h
to startup. Sometimes even then it would not work. Then just open terminal and do killall empathy && empathy -h
again.
Update1
I founded that program don't show up when you added empathy to the start up applications. You even not go online when added to boot. So remove it and start empathy manual after boot.
