That sounds kinda crazy and obviously shouldn't happen. I'm mildly curious what Pidgin is doing when this happens. Does the UI become gtk gray and blanked out and is unresponsive? If you have a desire to do some debugging, it might be helpful to obtain a backtrace by using gdb /path/to/pidgin 123PID456 to use gdb to connect to the running Pidgin instance and then repeat these commands a few times: backtrace, continue, CTRL+c. If Pidgin is in an infinite loop that will print backtraces hopefully at different places in the loop. You could also step through line by line. Or kill -6 to dump a core file and then get a backtrace from that. There are some more details here: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GetABacktrace And info on filing a bug report here: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: pidgin and VPN issues.
Matthias Apitz spake unto us the following wisdom: IMHO this sounds like established TCP connections are terminated by the VPN down/change and some layer in pidgin is waiting (for ever) for a response. One could watch with TCPDUMP if this is true. All of our network I/O should be nonblocking, and thus should not affect the UI. This is more likely a logic bug of some kind, as Mark noted.

Terminal Server Environment
We had requests to load Pidgin on our RDS server, but have recently run into an issue. We clear out the appdata/temp folder at logoff to remove any temp files to clear disk space. The .purple file resides there so the users lose their setup information. Is there a way to redirect the .purple to house itself in a different location, say the user's network userhome?

Something out of the ordinary is happening for stuff to be written to appdata/temp. The FAQ (https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#Whereismy.purpledirectory) covers how to change the location of .purple. -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
