I tried the sru1 PPA, but it didn't work for me. I ended up with 2
pidgin processes (one of which was <defunct>), and no UI whatsoever.
When I kill -HUP the living pidgin process, I'd get a quick flash of the
buddy list window, and then everything would close down. pigden -d logs
showed the "nobody needs me" dns message.
I tried ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa, which shows releases after the fix
was committed, but I see the same UI freeze and <defunct> gsettings
process as others:
$ apt-cache policy pidgin
pidgin:
Installed: 1:2.10.7-2ubuntu0+pidgin1.13.04
Candidate: 1:2.10.7-2ubuntu0+pidgin1.13.04
Version table:
*** 1:2.10.7-2ubuntu0+pidgin1.13.04 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/ raring/main
amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1:2.10.7-0ubuntu4.1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
If I run the ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa version of pidgin in an strace,
it works fine, so that's a workaround for me.
$ strace pidgin
