Description Dave Harper 2009-10-15 08:52:58 UTC 
Hi, 

Myself and other users are finding that connecting to an Openfire XMPP server with Empathy causes a memory leak in the server until it falls over.

Having upgraded to the pre-release Ubuntu with new Telepathy (the only person connecting to our server at has), the symptoms started to occur. Not connecting Empathy and they don't.

I have also filed a bug/comment against the server as I'm not sure who's fault this is: http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/message/196905

There is some good discussion there.

With Telepathy going default in Ubuntu in the next couple of weeks this could cause a major issue with people using Openfire servers.

It would be nice to know your telepathy-gabble version, 0.8.5 (iirc) caused problems on the server I have to use at work; which have been fixed in newer versions.
Comment 2 Dave Harper 2009-10-15 09:21:47 UTC 
0.8.6-1 (ubuntu latest package)
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-10-19 09:00:03 UTC 
Thanks for your bug report. Empathy doesn't connect to the Jabber server, telepathy-gabble does. Please open a bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ if you think Gabble is doing something wrong.

If you prefer, you can send a email to the Telepathy mailing list to discuss this issue: telepathy@lists.freedesktop.org
