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?

On Ubuntu 11.04, the IRC stuff for Empathy is inside `telepathy-gnome` – jmlnik Apr 17 '13 at 08:40

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.
