i removed empathy and still gives me errors,i hate this crap!
sudo apt-get remove empathy*
sudo apt-get purge empathy*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, launched the desktop after reboot and it crashed generated this crash report

I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, too. Same result as Laura.

Just got this one on 12.10 today as well.

I just got this on 12.10.

I'd just uninstalled empathy, installed pidgin and rebooted.

I tried to restart telepathy-indicator from a terminal and got the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** (telepathy-indicator:3497): WARNING **: could not find the desktop file for 'empathy.desktop'

** (telepathy-indicator:3497): CRITICAL **: messaging_menu_app_get_dbus_object_path: assertion `app->appinfo != NULL' failed

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Considering I'd just removed empathy it's no surprise telepathy couldn't find the file.

I noticed this issue after I'd uninstalled empathy and rebooted.

Same, after I uninstalled empathy and reboot.

12.10
Just started machine up and was check t'bird for mail and got the popup advising of problem.
Yesterday Pidgin would start but if if tried to start a conversation it would crash. I also tried Empathy and it sort of worked. Very slow signing on to accounts. Google accounts were the worst to get hooked up.
The OS was updated late yesterday and last night Pidgin was working again. I have not tried it yet today.

This bug still exists in the latest version.

For what it's worth, this is a new bug as of a few weeks ago. Before that I never saw this happen, and I did not change my configuration (i.e. I did not suddenly uninstall epiphany to find it non-functional). I uninstalled epiphany in favor of pidgin over a month ago, and it worked fine then.

Also got this after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 beta 2 and removing Empathy.

This happend after I removed Empathy and installed Pidgin. The integration with the notification applet for Social Networks it's broken for pidgin as well, only gwibber showing.

(updated from 12.04 to 12.10)

Still present in 12.10's most recent update.

I have it also on 12.10 after booting.

I'm not sure if it's related, but Thunderbird is crashing with the same error for me: http://pastie.org/4900282

Indicator messages 12.10.4-0ubuntu1 seems to fix this :)

I am using Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 and I can confirm #17 - crash as described above, no notification area integration.
