GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 667150
empathy-chat aborts on folks-CRITICAL **: string_strip: assertion `self != NULL' failed
Last modified: 2012-01-17 13:23:52 UTC
I have two XMPP accounts configured. One of them autojoins few MUC chatrooms on start. Every time I start Empathy, it crashes (aborts). (empathy:2973): folks-CRITICAL **: string_strip: assertion `self != NULL' failed ** tp-glib:ERROR:channel-contacts.c:732:_tp_channel_contacts_handle_owners_changed: assertion failed: (self->priv->group_contact_owners != NULL) If I quickly relaunch Empathy it works fine. There is a lot more information about this issue in RedHat Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753565
The first error seems to be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661475 I opened https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44858 for the second one. I'm closing the bug for now but feel free to re-open if you still have issues once those 2 bugs are fixed on your system.
