Do you have telepathy-idle installed?
Comment 2 elektrobank01 2009-08-07 16:00:47 UTC 
I've install telepathy-idle and now I can join IRC channels, Thanks! I hope that this dependency will be installed as default in stable version of empathy 2.28.
Comment 3 Sumana Harihareswara 2009-10-26 11:46:54 UTC 
Empathy 2.2.8 suggests you install telepathy-idle but does not insist.  But if it's not installed, perhaps Empathy should not lead the user to believe that it'll be easy to import IRC accounts.
