IRC in Empathy on 12.10

Question

I opened Empathy, go to accounts (F4), it takes me to "Online Accounts" where I can choose between many account types, but there is no IRC. There is face, google, twitter....but no IRC.

Am I missing something?

Solution

On 12.10 it seems like you need to install account-plugin-irc Install account-plugin-irc package to use IRC in Empathy. Perhaps this will solve the problem on earlier versions of Ubuntu (such as 12.04) as well.

On Ubuntu 11.04, the IRC stuff for Empathy is inside telepathy-gnome
