Comment 42 for bug 1069531

I have the same bug, using Ubuntu 13.04. Killing signonpluginprocess fixes the issue temporarily. After a disconnection, it doesn't come back online. I have two accounts: Google (without 2-step verification), and a facebook account. Sometimes only one fails. Why is it so random? Removing the accounts and adding them again also works, but it is a pain.

This affects Ubuntu image.

Maybe it is a problem of signond package? Has someone debugged into why this happens?

Does it happen with any other program than empathy?
