Looking at Help > Debug I can find two debug types "Empathy" and "misson-control". The former shows me a gray windows with the "The selected connection manager does not support the remote debugging extension". The latter, shows me two messages, both of them are the same (maybe because I tried to connect twice, one at the start of empathy and once when I hit the "reload" button): request_connection_cb: RequestConnection failed: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Does it help? Can I provide something else to debug it?
