Description Ruben 2009-11-14 10:21:27 UTC 
Hi,

This is related to the bug filed at launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/452980), apparently the reported didn't report it here. As I am sometimes having the same problem, I will post it here:

"Binary package hint: empathy

If I leave empathy in "not available" mode for a while, when I come back I find the status changed to "available".

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Fri Oct 16 12:40:56 2009
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/empathy
Package: empathy 2.28.0.1-1ubuntu6
ProcEnviron:
 SHELL=/bin/bash
 LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.47-generic
SourcePackage: empathy
Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686"

I have the same when my status is 'busy'. I only use the MSN protocol. I use the ubuntu fast-user-switch-applet (fusa) to change my status.

There are attachments on the launchpad bug.

Thanks.

I am experiencing this bug as well on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, with Empathy 2.28.1.1
No matter what I change the status too either from empathy, the empathy tray icon, or the fast user switching desktop app, it immediately changes my status back to available.  I am using the AIM protocol.  Info would be greatly appreciated, as this is an annoying bug that makes Empathy nearly unusable in my opinion.

I think this is a duplicate of #566832. Empathy sets you back to Available when you unlock your screen.
